The Admiral's using us, he says to the kids around him. Don't you see that? Most of the kids just shrug, but Hayden's there, and he never misses an opportunity to add his peculiar wisdom to a situation. I'd rather be used whole than in pieces, Hayden says.

So, says Lev, as casually as he can, you wanna dance? Do you believe in the end of the world? she responds. Lev shrugs. I don't know. Why? Because the day after that is when I'll dance with you.
