    Summary

    Her eyes burn into his and for a moment he is taken back to their very first date, when she wore that brilliant red dress and they whiled away the hours at some snooty bar. The look on her face makes him think she goes back, too.

    “Stay with me?”

    “Always.”

    Summary

    Helly glances at the clock again. It’s 9:19 now. She must have been so transfixed by the numbers that she didn’t notice the passage of time. Did she somehow miss Mark’s arrival? When she straightens and stares over the divider between their desks, she sees that his is still untouched.

    Her mouth goes dry and, in that moment, she’s sure, she’s so sure that they’ve been found out and Mark is bearing the punishment for it. Lumon allows no fraternization between colleagues, and she suspects they’d jump at the opportunity to reprimand someone. And she knows that someone can’t be her, at least not her physical body.

    --

    Or, post-Attila, Mark doesn't return to work, and Helly spirals. Then she decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    Mark Scout wakes up alone in the stairwell. The panic is immediate: all the breath pressed from his lungs, his heart knocking wildly in his chest, something like electricity slithering under his skin. When last he’d been conscious, he had Gemma in his arms, her face pressed to his. Her voice still lingers in his mind: I’m sorry, she keeps repeating, again and again.

    And now she’s gone.

    --

    A week after the events of the S2 finale, Mark Scout attempts to put together the pieces of his life. An added complication? He's still reintegrating, dreaming in Mark S.'s memories, and attempting to ignore the fact that his innie is trying to tell him something.
