Lira felt old and young all at once. She pictured the people who had folded cranes, tied ribbons, and tucked notes into seams; people who hoped an ordinary kindness might someday return to them. She thought of the catalog of small mercies on Sechexspoofy’s shelves and how the ship had become an accidental archive.

Sechexspoofy rerouted power to the hold and began making room. It hummed as it carefully constructed tiny nests for each memory—a cradle of felt, a ribbon, a shell of soft light that would keep things warm without cooking them.
