- good and helpful that Mosscap is the one in crisis now, but Dex is still not 100% healing is neither linear nor a thing with a fixed end goal
- idea of commerce in a post-capitalist world really cool, ditto reactions to disability
- awareness is good, but doesn't necessarily help with the self care
- expansion of world, not just seeing new people and new settlements, but watching them, those established things, react to something new
- good that we're in Dex's POV--we're like them--but it's Mosscap's story, M's growth, M's reckoning with itself
- sometimes there are no answers except that you love someone else and the two of you get to exist joyfully even when things are hard
