Summary

In this chapter, Talula exhibits a serious demeanor as she navigates the troubling health condition of Orson, revealing a test result indicating a dangerously high somatic cell fusion rate of 42%. Despite Orson's attempt to downplay his situation, it becomes evident to the group that he is critically ill. Dr. Ziegler confirms that treatment cannot be provided at their current facility, but Kelsey suggests that Rhodes Island might be able to help if Orson's Strength is confirmed to align with her expectations. As discussions unfold, Talula organizes a meeting with the Unified Integration Movement's leaders, creating a clear divide in opinions regarding Orson's treatment. Orson, initially resistant to the idea of taking time off, realizes the importance of accepting help and the support of his comrades. His struggle to balance his dedication to the movement and his health culminates in an emotional outburst from Frost Nova, who expresses her frustration at Orson’s secrecy regarding his health condition. This moment of vulnerability leads Orson to understand that he is not alone in his fight; his friends care for him and want to protect him. Ultimately, a unanimous decision is reached to grant Orson a two to four months leave for treatment, marking his first vacation in over two years. After the meeting, Orson grapples with the affection and generosity of his companions, as they shower him with thoughtful gifts in recognition of his situation. This realization deepens his connection to the Unified Integration Movement and reinforces the bonds of friendship and mutual support among its members.
