The external world of Mira’s life was simpler, smaller. Her brother Tomas had been a marine biologist who loved birds with a focused, verging-on-religious fervor. He’d been the one to teach her the difference between an osprey and a hawk from a distance—the way an osprey folds its wings in a certain angle as it strikes the water, the white of its chest streaked with salt. He’d died on an expedition off the coast two years prior, a blurred thing the newspapers dismissed as "equipment failure."

The ospreys continued their ritual; they dived and found fish and stitched the world into continuance.
