To be the first human to engage in symbiotic contract with a Gendoji was a great source of pride to me during my early days on Pax, a desperate grasp for meaning after I was expelled from the station and cut off from the scientific community, left adrift from any chance of scientific immortality. Much of that ambition fell away in my time with the Gendo, all except for my need to impress Alina. The life we once shared still pulled at me, even after so much had changed.
