For all that she lectures and wails and gnashes her teeth on the death of the true order and the wild run rampant of them all, the screams of the sky and so on and so forth, the fact remains hard and only deniable if she is willing to close her eyes that the land is settling into a new way. (She can't even quite bring herself to resent it properly, tapping her fingers along the new veins of the crawling plants and echoing something tiny and proud and impossible to fully consume.)
There are demarcations now, the remaining kids capable of adapting to the impact carving themselves spaces out. Territories scatter informal and hard into the dirt, riverborder skirmishes and a throne every six feet for how she'd cloth it. They aren't lines meant to be ignored.
But she is the last of the dead and she is the prophet walking and she is the messiah and she knows, knows, feels the first territory marked while the rest of them bled out and lived for it, walks a highway of ashclouds and old charpits. A ghost in a renovated house, walking through walls that weren't there when she still lived.
The footsteps fall out of sync with her own, and she laughs.
"- supersymmetry! I'm walking the lyrics, not the chords. You fell out on the overlap."
