The boy is no longer one of the Chained, she tells him, and he has been gifted an opportunity to be educated at the ship's university alongside the elite.The woman has spent her career striving for acceptance and validation from her colleagues in the hopes of reaching a brighter future, only to fall short at every turn.Together, the boy and the woman will learn from each other to grasp the design of the chains designed to fetter them both, and are the key to breaking free.
