***Spoilers***This short story follows Stone and Thimble in the last days of the enclave and what happens afterwards. Because Stone and Thimble were two of my favorite characters in "Enclave," I'd wondered what happened to them after Deuce left and I'm glad Aguirre decided to tell their story. Stone and Thimble are both damaged in their own ways, but together they are a fully functioning team. Stone's interaction with and devotion to Boy23 and Thimble is heart wrenching, and I read the last several pages while holding my breath because I was so worried something was going to happen to tear their little family apart. Even if their story only gets a "happily for now" ending, in the world of Razorland, that's far more than most characters receive.
