For the rest of the day my thoughts topple from one option to the other. Stay, and take my chances with the new Guardian, or fail out now and maybe get sold with Jael. Even though there’s no guarantee that we’d be sold to the same bidder, the chance is good we would be if we’re on the same level. I think of facing laps alone, of losing Hiro, losing my piano. I can’t take this place alone.
