How It All Goes Down
Lyda (Rehabilitation)
- Lyda sits in a chilled, white padded room. Her mother is very critical of her mistake, but Lyda knows that she still loves her.
- Lyda thinks about how she stained her reputation and that no one would want their son to marry her anymore. Cheer up Lyda: at least you didn't get fused with something.
- There's a fake sunlight image of a window on the wall, and Lyda sees (or she thinks she sees) birds flutter past, which is odd because there aren't many birds in the Dome.
- Two doctors and her mother walk in for the evaluation. One asks about Ripkard Willux, otherwise known as Partridge.
- They interrogate her about the night of the dance, and she keeps seeing wings of birds in the fake window.
- They ask if Partridge kissed her and if he loved her. Lyda thinks about how he used her to get the knife, but doesn't know what he used it for.
- Lyda ends up lying because her mother seemed to signal for her to. She says that Partridge loved her.
