    Summary

    Some of the dancers have left. (Not out of sadness for Nina; mostly superstition. The show is cursed. The company is cursed. Beth, and then Nina, and who is next? Not me, they say, not me.)

    The replacements are brutally trained up, but the real pressure is on Lily and everyone knows it.

    She remembered that night, that night so perfect, but so disastrous. She had destroyed everything. Ruined her. All for that one, tiny moment of perfection.

    Summary

    People pretend to be nice, people pretend to be smooth, and polite and everything, but this is only an appearance because the way we're built as human beings is only in paradox and contradictions. So I guess, you know, when I read so-called baddies, I think they're more human than heroes most of the time.

    Nina tells the doctors it was all a drug freakout. “One of the guys had some pills,” she tells her mother, because otherwise her mother won’t let Lily come back, and Lily comes every day with a bouquet. White lilies, tiger lilies, lily-of-the-valley.

    Lily used to crave hearing Nina speak; watch the delicate skin of her throat as her words washed over her like honey. It was the closest she ever came to thinking about being with a girl again.

    Summary

    Nina Sayers has been deep in a coma since her single now-legendary performance of Swan Lake. The first time the Inception team dropped into her dreams, it was only out of curiosity. Now working out her history is a personal challenge, and it's one of the hardest things they've ever done.
