“Fadi’s dead,” Scheme said, and it came out like a sigh. She stood up and rubbed her eyes, then switched off the monitor. His humble nest here in the back of the restaurant suddenly felt haunted.

Maybe he’s not dead, Scheme. Maybe he’s just...

Well, I couldn’t think of any alternatives.

Scheme shook her head. “I’ve never actually seen this before, but it makes sense. For the dead, these games are the perfect environment. They’re familiar. They disguise certain... differences. They probably don’t resist the way the real world does.”

What about Jack Zapp—is he okay?

“Well. Still dead. But otherwise, I imagine so. It’s just a game.”

I felt sad. Both because Fadi was dead and because we’d left World of Jesus. Looking through Scheme’s earrings, everything was just the way it had been before: splintered, flickering, overexposed. Ugh. I shut off the feed and thought of the Jerusalem sky.

“We’re going to Grail,” Scheme said, with a hard edge in her voice.

I brought the feed back up in time to see her walk out through the falafel shop’s sliding door, out into the swirling gray.
