With everything going on it's been easy to forget to take a break, so the crew takes time to celebrate a birthday. Afterwards, Argos and Tiffany try and help Auña heal to varying degrees of success.

We, me and me,
keep speaking past
each other.

We, me and me,
almost hear those words
two worlds apart.

We, me and I,
some kind of tether
fingers flailing,
brushing against each other

in the dark.
- Auña
