Part 250: Miriel C

The moon is illuminated by the sun? A most curious claim. And yet...

Hey.

The sun's light dims and is extinguished as it falls below the horizon. How, then, can-

Hey! Watch OUT.

Ack!

Do you have a death wish, woman? You nearly walked off a cliff!

...Gods. I grabbed a woman's arm.

Apologies. I was lost in my reading.

Maybe sit down next time if you aim to stay alive.

My heart is racing. An atonomic response to danger, I assume? Very interesting. I must make a note of this...

Just close the book.

I am conducting a thought experiment and would prefer not to interrupt it.

You'd be interrupted permanently if I hadn't stopped you. Don't let it happen again.

Assuming the sun does somehow continue to shine from beyond the horizon...

Bah. It's no use. My focus is lost.
