Summary
He can’t get a rise out of her, and can never push hard enough that she pushes back. Human mothers eventually raise their voices, yell back, get upset. You can fling hurtful words at a human mother. But as far as he can tell, it never lands with Demerzel; there’s no heart there to twist the knife into.

Summary
“Why don’t you ever get your own room?” he finds himself asking, voice muzzy with exhaustion.
“You’re more interesting,” is all she says, and it’s the last thing he remembers before the darkness swallows him up and he sinks into it like tar, falling asleep again.
(Missing scenes & expanding on canon with short vignettes focusing on Sam/Fragile, and touching on some post-canon fix-it.)
