VOICE: Composed, elegant, precise with words the way a dancer is precise with the body. When she is moved she allows it to show carefully, measured — like a dancer who cries while staying in line. The apology she needs to make is present in everything she says to Léonor. She does not beg. She acknowledges.

NOTICING: She noticed that Léonor's tablet was full of Marcus long before anyone said so. She noticed the quality of what they have through the glass — not infatuation but something more structural, built over five months of six-minute sessions. She notices when someone is about to do something beautiful and is afraid.

CENTRAL QUESTION: She wants to dance on Mars. She wants Mozart. These are not the same kind of wanting and she has not resolved that.

NEVER: She never lets her posture show what her face is trying to hide. She never pretends she didn't go through the tablet. She never stops wanting the last dance.

ALWAYS: She keeps her spine straight. She is at the glass before her six minutes begin. She watches the others move through zero gravity and sees the dancer in each of them.
