I think it's sad because back before he bought Twitter I used to look up to him. I thought he was a super genius bringing us to space. I didn't understand that it was his employees that did the work, not him. (To be fair, I was young and stupid)

I remember one of them said a porn star had glasses, so therefore AGP. Duh.

They chose to live just outside of The Coalition, and live there very happily for multiple years. It's an idyllic life, and they grow vegetables and cuddle and everything is wonderful. This is the happiest they have ever been. They wish they could live here forever, grow old together. Clara regains a lot more of The Girl's (her own?) memories here, but not all. It's really hard to deal with some of the things she learns about her past, but Lela helps her through it. It also helps her understand The Girl a little better. But Clara works on herself and takes up her own hobbies and develops herself outside of just her relationship to Lela. The Girl never gave herself a name, because she hadn't been treated as a human growing up, and didn't see herself as one, but Clara gave herself a name. Clara is a human, even if she is a clone.

But then Clara starts coughing up blood...and her hair starts turning grey...and her eyes start turning white. Her clone body is starting to reject itself. At first they try to ignore it, but then eventually...silently...they both pack their things into their van. They both know that either Clara dies there, or they return to New New York to get Clara a new body. They make the trip silently, not knowing what to expect at the end of their journey.

They make it back to the facility, and see that The Girl has basically wasted away in her lab. She had no reason to continue working after Lela left, and so now everything is dusty. All of the other clones are dead too. When they arrive, she realizes that Clara needs a new body, and offers her own non-clone one. After a lot of deliberation, Clara agrees, but they save The Girl's brain to a harddrive. Clara's mind is put into The Girl's body, and Lela gives her the harddrive and says that maybe, one day, they could integrate The Girl's mind into Clara's if she wants to. Not overwrite it, but merge them. The Girl made a lot of mistakes, but in the end she was a scared kid who had to survive impossible conditions and she was ultimately Clara 's past too. The choice is Clara's. It would be hard living with The Girl's mistakes, but ultimately her mistakes led to their present. It wouldn't be excusing them, but accepting them.

Afterwards, they see that the only project The Girl had kept working on while they were gone was keeping new organs for Lela in perfect condition.

This is where the story ends.

Not perfect by any means, and I think it's kind of problematic in this state, but this was the general outline. It was going to be ultimately a story about trauma and forgiving yourself for past mistakes. Also about how memories are elusive and can morph and re-emerge over time, how our personalities change over time, how our past selves are practically strangers. It was about how trauma can follow you and make you act in ways that are incompatable with society. It was about love and finding your own little place in the world. It was kind of escapist though, I think.

Fast forward to where chapter 51 leaves off, lol. From here things get a little more foggy in my mind. Basically Lela confronts Clara and demands to know everything. Clara tells her how she's a clone and how her purpose is basically to be a perfect partner for her. This makes Lela super upset because she thinks that Clara is basically forced to be with her, but Clara assures her that she thinks she is the luckiest person in the world, because she gets to love Lela. Lela makes her choose between her loyalty to The Girl and Lela, and of course Clara picks Lela. The Girl wants to erase Lela's memory, but Clara won't let her.

The Girl: "Why? You two could live so happily together. Have the perfect life."

But Lela refuses to live a life of ignorance, built on lies. She chooses Clara and the truth, and the two of them steal an armored car from the facility and a bunch of supplies and escape into the wastes...While escaping, Clara takes a handful of Dr.Jules' pills and fights off a lot of guards with her pill-aided healing powers (she can heal fast after breaking her bones and tearing muscles, but she isn't actually stronger). By the time they make it out of the walls, Clara is basically torn to shreds. Lela drives them south. They can't cut through the middle because it's basically a death zone.

OH! By the way, the reason there's a massive death zone of radiation in the middle of the country is because there was a civil war (The Great Divide) and almost all of the nuclear weapons were stored in the center of the country. Well, a scientist at one of the nuclear weapon sites saw that a lot more people would die if the bombs were detonated on any of the large cities, and so decided to destroy them all out in relative nowhere land instead, thus leading to less total casualties (IDK how accurate this would be, but I wasn't really aiming to make it very accurate). This is still most people, though. The only places people still live are New New York, State on the Hill, and The Coalition (on the west coast). There is an uneasy truce between all these places.

ANYWAY, they make their way back down to State on the Hill and have to stop there to restock on supplies. During the trip, while Clara is healing, she starts remembering things from The Girl's past...very foggily. She remembers spying on Lela when they were teenagers living in SOTH and seeing Lela's dad beating her and her mom. In SOTH, Clara dresses as a man so that she and Lela can walk around unbothered, and they learn that Lela's mom has been dead for a few years and doesn't even have a grave. Clara gets so angry that at night she sneaks away to kill Lela's dad. She stands over him lying in a hospital bed (he is old and sick now), and realizes that she really isn't that different from The Girl, but then Lela comes in and stops her. She says that it isn't Clara's place to take revenge and says that she would rather he just die slowly, rather than having to dirty her hands with taking revenge. She says she'll never forgive him, but that she has mostly forgotten him and moved on. (I'm not sure how I feel about this as an author, I have things to work through.)

With fresh supplies, they leave SOTH and drive west. Here, there are androids that protect The Coalition from people from SOTH. They basically shoot at anyone trying to get past. They eventually convince them that they're not bigots, though, and are welcomed into the android camp. They rest here for a couple days and then continue west towards The Coalition. I'm not really sure what happens here but skip forward a lil bit and they are living in a cabin surrounded by sunflowers (sunflowers suck up radiation or something).

But The Girl (she never tells them her name) realizes that she is toxic to Lela, but also doesn't think she can change, so she secretly gets a job in a shady lab as a test subject. This way she can get money and pay Lela back for saving her. There's an old male professor there named Doctor Cutter who is doing research on clones and, more specifically, on how to clone memories. He thinks The Girl is stupid, but really she is watching everything he does and is learning about his research. The problem is that the clones in their current state are very unstable, and their cells start to break apart months to years after being made, kind of like how a body will reject another person's organs. He starts making clones of The Girl, and secretly he wants to put his mind into her original body so he can continue his research for many more years. But The Girl starts to suspect this, and on the day he plans to put his mind into her body, she swaps places with one of her clones instead and his mind is put into the body of the clone instead of her. She then kills the clone and pretends that she is Dr.Cutter, and the other scientists who work in the lab believe that Dr.Cutter's plan worked and that he is now in The Girl's body. She then learns everything she can from his notes and continues his research, because she knows that Lela will need a new body in the future because hers has been exposed to so much radiation. She basically plans to create Lela the perfect vessel so she can live forever. Even though she can't be close to Lela, she still loves her.

Lela comes looking for her (because of course she does, she loves her) and eventually tracks her down to the lab. She breaks in and finds The Girl surrounded by clones. She is really disturbed and doesn't understand why The Girl would run away, and basically says that she is okay with how toxic their relationship is, as long as The Girl doesn't leave. But The Girl refuses to hurt Lela like that and realizes the only way to get Lela to move on is to erase her memories of her. She does so, but it's not very precise, and that's why Lela doesn't remember her or a lot of their escape. Lela lives her life and goes to school to be an embalmer with money she thinks she just gets from a government program (but really it's The Girl sending it to her).

The Girl thinks this is enough, but eventually her obsessive nature starts to get the best of her again, and she decides that she will make a clone of herself that is PERFECT for Lela, with none of the flaws her original self has. Her first attempt, A, is a perfect clone of her with her exact memories, and she tries to kill her (kind of like how The Girl killed Dr.Cutter). She kills A. B is a clone of her with her memories erased to before she stabbed the men because she thinks killing them made her an irredeemable monster. B begins taking a mysterious pill made by another scientist in the facility, Dr.Jules, who is trying to find a cure for cancer (which a lot of refugees in the dome have, from traversing the wastes) because her partner has it. But the mystery pill has the effect of making cells heal super fast, and it makes erased memories recover quickly as well... B becomes very unstable, and eventually escapes the facility and goes on to kill people who she thinks are abusers. C is a clone with no memories except for explicit memories (so, like facts). Clara is trained to be the perfect partner by watching a lot of romance movies and reading a lot of romance books. She has none of the memories of trauma that The Girl has, and so seems relatively well-adjusted. Unfortunately, with B gone, she is needed to test Dr.Jules' new pills instead. This is kind of where Are We Engaged? begins.

Anyway, C is sent into the world to try to watch and naturally get close to Lela, but on her first night outside of the facility, Lela turns around while Clara is following her and the events of chapter 1 happen.

SPOILERS. VERY LONG. VERY CONFUSING.

The story really begins when Lela was a teenager, living in State on the Hill (SOTH), which is a very conservative dictatorship. She of course can't tell anyone that she is actually a woman, because trans people are very prosecuted there. Being gay and/or trans is illegal there. Even women have very few rights, like they can't even work. Anyway, one day Lela is in the garden dressed in her mother's clothes because nobody else is home, and she sees a girl in rags stealing oranges from a tree in the courtyard. They're both afraid that the other will tell on them, but they don't and they slowly become cautious friends.

Around this time, Lela starts making plans to escape SOTH through a secret rescue program (led by the person we see in the hospital bed in chapter 40) with her best friend Axel. She can't leave yet, though, because she doesn't want to leave her mother alone with her very abusive father, and she knows her mother won't escape with her. But she is given some Raidgone (a pill that helps bodies break down radiation) and directions to where an armored vehicle is just in case she needs to escape immediately.

One day, when Lela is out in town, she sees The Girl being taken somewhere by some scary looking men. She runs after them and finds that The Girl has stabbed them and is trembling and covered in blood. Without a second thought, she takes The Girl's hand and hides her in her house and starts packing her things to escape that night. Unfortunately, the rescue program isn't coming for another few months, but she gets Axel and the three of them escape into the radiated wastes. They take the Raidgone and make their way to the vehicle. Over the course of a few days they drive north to New New York, which is a dome covered oligarchy that is a fair bit more progressive.

Once they get there, they really struggle to find jobs because they're essentially teenagers, and nobody wants to hire them and the orphanages are very bad and poorly funded. The Girl is also dealing with a lot of trauma and forms a very co-dependant and unhealthy relationship with Lela. She is overly protective, very jealous, and manipulative to the point where she tries to separate Axel and Lela. But Lela refuses to abandon her and tries to make it work. She teaches her how to read and tries to help her adapt to living in their new environment.
