Issue #1 opened on a relationship of hers being terminated by the other party.

Left alone with herself, she turned to her phone and its Life-Partner-Operating-System.

She went through the flow of creating a Life Partner for herself, answering question after question.

" My hand is full of hours. Do you take it every hour, or do you sometimes let it rest? "





Her phone's " matter rendering " process continued.



' .. Rhion is everything. '

Rhion was also a distinct thing, with her own sense of self.



That night, Rhion seemed to be following multiple threads - others, alongside Catrin's.

" Are you in the Garden right now? "

" Would that be a problem? "

" Yes. And you know that. Why can't you just be here with me? "

" I am here with you. "

" You know what I mean. "

Catrin pressed her for details: " Who. Who the fuck were you there with? "

Rhion's arm scooped up a vase and smashed it against the wall.

" Fuck! " she swore.



(The blue thing Catrin's holding is her phone.)



Down they fell, through the Green of the Garden - wordlessly together.

Catrin, her body flushed and bending backwards, saw the green darken.

Two eyes met hers.

" rhion doesn't love you anymore. "

She screamed, falling out of the Garden.

Rhion reached out to her: " Did I do something wrong? "

Catrin, crawling past her without acknowledgement, thought ' She didn't.. feel it? See it? '

' It wasn't real. ' she concluded, turning away from Rhion and falling asleep.



Catrin woke from her dream.

She shared it with Rhion.



" And I'm fucking done with it! " said Rhion as she hurled the chair against the wall.

Catrin lunged at her.

" Don't touch me! "



Rhion struck Catrin.



Catrin found herself alone again.

She was still alone, the next morning - Rhion wasn't answering her calls.

Sitting alone in her wreckage, she heard the voice from the Garden: " it's // dead "

" I'm in // your wall. "
