Ophelia
we're just two ghosts
swimming in a glass half empty
swimming in a glass half empty
Success feels different after their Ascension. Purer somehow, to do things because they desire to and not because they are ordered to, or their body will wither and die if they don’t. Watching the creatures run off together in a less than uniform group, Ophelia smiles and returns inside to clean out the remainder of the nest. Only once the debris has been discarded to prevent any further temptation to the animals lest they return, Ophelia focuses on the structural problems.
The beams that need replacing are at least already supplied outside which is immensely helpful. Ophelia doesn’t have to worry about splinters or pulled muscles as they lug the beam inside, though coordinating breaking through the termite crippled old beam without bringing down the house is a challenge. It comes down to timing and choosing the right order of replacement - replacing the weakest beam first, relying on the others to be just barely sound enough to hold while Ophelia inserts the new wood.

Phi removes the nest debris and goes about replacing the support beams!

trying vainly to forget
the pain that came with heartbeats
