Summary
And suddenly with startling clarity, Bren understood a great many things. It had been Tano who had spoken with him once, after the supposed death of Jase’s father. Bren had asked how an Ateva would react to the death of a close relative and the answer was simple. When a social connection was broken, a connection Atevi would refer to as the feeling of man’chi, then the instinct was to flock to the next and highest present Aiji. Aijiin collected man’chi and instinctively moved in to fill a power vacuum, it was a biological imperative. Man’chi flowed up and could not stop, filling in the gaps like water rushing up to fill a newly made indentation in the sand.
You could not hold man’chi for a deadman. Not, Tano explained, unless you believed in ghosts.

Summary
“Aiji-ma,” Tabini’s senior guard said, “the team downstairs reports two humans have exited the object.” He frowned, hand to his earpiece, then corrected. “Two persons who both appear to be human, aiji-ma, one of whom claims not to be human, both of whom are speaking fluent Ragi.”
“Gods less fortunate!” Tabini clenched his fists on the desk and looked at the ceiling, as if for guidance. Then he looked at Bren. “Are these your alien associates, paidhi-aiji?”
