Summary
Nova just watched them for a moment in stunned silence. How were they so casual? Had they not realized how long it had been?
"How- How long do yo-you think it's been?"
"A great question, hatchling. Thing is, I'm not so sure I can answer it. There's something real strange about time here in Dark Bramble, I've come to learn– you know, apart from the anglerfish and whatnot. I have a strong hypothesis that time doesn't quite abide by the same laws it does outside."

Nova hears a certain instrument that sends them descending even further in their steady downward spiral, and opens up old wounds that should have long since healed. If anything, it was like digging into a scar that never fully stopped hurting. Just a constant, vague throbbing kind of ache; to be felt forevermore. Nothing breaks them quite like seeing Gabbro's small moments of vulnerability– just what was going on, anyway? Surely it wasn't possible that it was merely a trick of deep space frequencies– no, that old harmonica sounded no different than it had the last day they'd ever heard it. It would seem it was no longer something they could avoid– they would have to brave the depths of Dark Bramble. Alone. No biggie.

Summary
Nova and Slate had always mixed just about as well as oil and water. Or, maybe they were more like opposite sides of the same coin- Slate couldn't really say. They certainly didn't care, either way. Why would they? The knots in their stomach were clearly a result of their irritation at having to be bothered to babysit a not-quite-hatchling. Nothing else to it.
