How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Fireflies)
- El Capitan, Bradwell, and Pressia walk for about an hour, and they decide to rest.
- Pressia tells Bradwell about fireflies: after the Detonations, people tried to chase them and catch them, but when they did, they'd get radiation poisoning. They'd die quickly and violently.
- How does this relate to anything? Well, Pressia feels like they were only trying to grasp something beautiful in such a terrible world.
- All of this thinking makes her think about her mother's death: she feels responsible. After all, she was the one who technically dealt the finishing blow.
- Bradwell is able to console her, because he's awesome.
- Then they kiss and stuff, and they pretty much confess their love to each other.
