Summary
“It’s old. It has seen too much blood, too much death and sorrow, enough for three lifetimes.

~
Andy is forced to deal with old demons and is confronted to the reality of her existence.

Summary
What if Booker hadn't been 'the new guy' all these years, and there had been another, whose death was overshadowed by the more dramatic and torturous deaths Quynh experienced over the years, thus blinding Nile until recently? How will Nile react to finding out she is the 7th Immortal running around in the world rather than the 6th? And how will Booker deal with not one former teammate, but two appearing in the same week?

Summary
“It seems you were right Nile. There is something deeper going on here.”
“He was going to stab himself. He was in that much pain. How could we not notice? How could I not notice?” Yusuf’s voice decreased by octaves. The last sentence could only be heard by Nicolo.
“This is not only his fault. It’s ours too. We are his family. We should have known.”
“No more exile. He needs us.”

Summary
She counts, half out loud as she has always done, before she sets them in motion. They are a bit slower than the beat but he doesn’t mind. Her turns are smaller, just a few degrees short of the ideal half-turns, but he doesn’t mind. And if she steps on his toes once, her legs not quite as long as his, well. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t even begin to count as payback for what he has done to her.

Summary
Quỳnh was drifting, in her mind, at peace, when the first light comes striking in.
What she sees awakes her past from her drowned heart, a reminder of what is out there and what isn't (her, she isn't, she's down here and drowning). She doesn't see much. Just a man, hanging. Pathetic, when she thinks about it.
Unfortunately there is more for her to see, and she holds those glimpses in a choking grip. Because no one should dare to hurt her Andromache like he did.
[Or : my take on why Quỳnh goes straight to Booker when she gets out of the sea, why she is the way she is when she meets him in the movie and what happens afterwards, with Booker and the team!]

Summary
“You’re not real. I’m dreaming, hallucinating. You’re not here. You can't be, I have seventy-five years, eight months, three weeks and four days left. I can't have you. Your touch. Your hugs. Your presence.”
“You can my darling, you can. I promise you can.”
Emotionally exhausted, and terrified for their relationship, they laid down in a similar manner to which they had at night. This time the older men knew not to let him wake alone.

Summary
It's been three months since they've left Booker behind. The team is trying to go forward, but it's hard.
And Nile can't keep her head down. She's done leaving everyone awkwardly managing the silences where there should be a tired snicker, she's done seeing their eyes burn up in anger before being bitten down by bitterness, at the thoughts that strayed towards death and pain. She's done with the untold past they had shared together, and that no one wanted to talk about, because one of their own had failed them.
But she was the one picking up the pieces left.
So she pulls herself up and she breaks the exile. Because it doesn't matter what they had said back then. What matters is what they need now. And unanswered questions are definitely not that.

Summary
“He’s waking up,” Nicky whispered, breaking the hushed silence, crouching down to cup Booker’s cheek, fingers rasping against his beard.
“This isn’t the first time.” Andy’s voice was flat, carefully walking forward, her feet bumping into empty bottles.
