It was a bright sunny afternoon in the park. The birds were chirping, and the sun was shining. Carla was making daisy chains in the bandstand, and she was content.

She had finished school early and been awarded a scientific qualification for producing a cure for the illness that had plagued the colony. It had all been connected to her, after all. It was in her blood. Something to do with mixed genes and a natural immunity meant that an antidote was produced with only minor side effects.

Joe was studying botany now and had a minor personality change for the better. Many of the other teenagers who’d had the illness had required some changes in their lives, too. It was part of the cure to be liberated.

Derobmi laws on cleanliness had become more flexible. They had to evolve so the youngsters could fight the illness and live life a little easier. Life on Derobmi had improved in general, and the strict rules weren’t so strict anymore.

Joe’s mind had been the only one she couldn’t read that night, but she felt more connected to him than ever before. She wasn’t alone in the world any longer, and it was great.

She wondered why Joe was so different to everyone else. He’d been cured without being given the cure, and he’d been immune to having his mind read. Whatever had happened in the cave had changed him too, she was sure of it. She didn’t worry about it too much. He was happy and healthy, what more could she ask?

Parklon had been awarded a medal of bravery for capturing the High Chancellor’s killer, and he now worked in a nice clean lab in Derobmi, helping to cure diseases. He did occasionally celebrate with too much beer, but no one seemed to mind as long as it wasn’t at their house.

Bob had disappeared before the police arrived, and no one had mentioned his presence. However, there had been rumors that he had been seen regularly with Lady Foamy. He’d been reunited with his orange car and had been spotted shamelessly driving it around the town center.

Lady Foamy was now divorced, and the community had applauded her heroism and grace in dealing with the fact that her husband was a murderer.

She had gone into politics and had passed a bill for freedom of speech, which especially included literature. Not so many things were banned in Derobmi anymore, mostly due to her work.

Krellin wasn’t as good at everything as he used to be, but he was happier for it and continued to call Carla asking if she’d like a date.

He had no recollection of the special powers he had lost to her, but kept saying that his cave didn’t work anymore since she had blown it up.

Carla had gone on one date with him, just to see what would happen, and nothing did. It seemed that the whole Zoremone thing was no longer a problem for her, at least not with him. Whatever hold he’d had over her had been blown out of her body that night.
