Summary
The camcorder sits open on the car’s dash with his innie’s face frozen on the foldout screen. There’d been no reason for Mark Scout to watch the recording again; he has it almost memorized by this point, at least the part that matters. His innie’s words still ring in his ears, said flippantly and jovially and with no idea how they’d affect him. Strange, too, since they’re the same person.
“You know, I’ve been thinking—I’ve met Helena a few times now. Maybe you should meet Helly?”
He’d heard nothing from Helly since they’d started this arrangement, and he’d begun to give up hope he ever would. Why would he anyway? She doesn’t know him. But still, every time his innie sends him a message, he studies the corners of each frame for a glimpse of her, turns the volume up in the hopes he’ll hear the whisper of her voice.
--
A year and a half post-Cold Harbor, Mark Scout and Helena Eagan drive to Damon Birthing Retreat each weekend so that their innies can spend time together. When Mark's innie gets the bright idea for Mark Scout and Helly R. to meet, things start to unravel.

Summary
Mark stayed behind for Helly. But when the alarms started blaring and the blood started flowing, he didn’t expect to wake up reintegrated, with memories that aren’t supposed to coexist.
Helly is gone. Helena is awake. And nothing about their escape is clean.
As they flee Lumon’s severed floor and the ghosts it left behind, Mark and Helena must navigate hidden tunnels, fractured identities, and a love that might not survive the truth.
