After waking and having a light breakfast, Jessica was led down a series of corridors to a large room filled with various props and a set of a-grav units—probably to simulate her flying.

Phoebe was waiting with a steaming cup of coffee, and let out a delighted gasp when she saw Jessica.

“Oh wow! They said you glowed, but I thought it would just be a little bit—shit, you look amazing. How does it feel to be Retyna Girl?”

<Here goes,> Jessica said to Iris.

<You got this,> Iris replied, sending supportive feelings into Jessica’s mind.

“Feel to be Retyna Girl?” Jessica asked. “I am Retyna Girl.”

Phoebe’s smile grew into a broad grin. “Now that’s what I want to hear. Let’s get started.”

The next few hours were spent with Jessica taking thousands of still images in a variety of outfits, reciting lines, and doing action stunts, flying about, and providing full range motion capture—in case they decided to make sims at some point.

Part way through the day, Trevor arrived and sat along one side of the room—where the food and beverages were arrayed—and watched with admiring eyes. He seemed to especially like the skimpy outfits they had put her in—the better to show off her glowing skin.

After her confession to Iris the night before, and her acceptance that this was a necessary sacrifice for her crew—her family—she allowed herself to fully slip into the character of Retyna Girl, enjoying the release of being someone else.

“With Retyna Girl, light is never the enemy!” she cried out with a glowing fist thrust in the air, finally not giggling after the fifth try.

<Nice to do something that’s not super-serious-life-or-death for once, isn’t it?> Iris asked part-way through the day.

<It really is,> Jessica replied, smiling for the sensory capture devices.

As the day drew to a close, and the retakes had been completed, Jessica slipped away from the capture devices and approached Trevor.

“Looks like I’m done,” she said as they embraced.

“Too bad,” Trevor grinned. “I think I could watch you do that stuff all day—of course I recorded what I was here for, so I can sample your best lines as needed.”

Jessica laughed. “Yeah, I kinda suspected that would happen.”

“You seem far more OK with all this today than I thought—glowing skin notwithstanding.”

“I had a really good heart-to-heart with Iris last night…about some stuff that happened a long time ago. Stuff I’m finally ready to share with you too.”

Trevor placed his hands on either side of her face and leaned into a kiss.

“Glad to hear it, love,” he said when they finally separated. “Here. I brought some clothes for you, just in case.”

“Thanks!” Jessica said. “I like this dress, but these heels are starting to kill my feet.”

Trevor glanced down at her feet and laughed. “Well, I didn’t bring any shoes, so you might be in those for a bit longer.”

“Men,” Jessica shook her head and grabbed the duffle from his hands. She pulled the heels off
