A very solid entry, probably one of the best this year from Clarkesworld. I got choked up reading Lost in Darkness and Distance by [a:Clara Madrigano|9873639|Clara Madrigano|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1520459676p2/9873639.jpg] and Niuniu by the always amazing [a:Baoshu|17167017|Baoshu|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] - both happen to be AI stories dealing with how technology affect the coping mechanism of people who lost their loved ones.
Mortality seems to be recurring theme here - maybe because Neil just lost his cousin recently. The first story, The Land of Eternal Jackfruits by Rupsa Dey, and then To Sail the Black by A.C. Wise, were solid entries that complement the theme. I'd still want more jackfruits in the Dey story, but hey, I am easily led by story titles.
