An intriguing taster and stepping stone while I wait none too patiently for The Book The Broke the World

Fun little story with Yute and Heeth, and a meta mind warp in the second story...though if you've read TBTWB you'll be used to that sort of thing. Both with messages about perceptions and lives, and importantly about understanding ourselves.

Potentially minor point, we find out Clovis's surname. I don't know if I just missed that in TBTWB (and I haven't read book 2 yet, but these short stories are meant to be read at any point), or if it's a sort of intentional new fact for the reader.
