(Pg 26) The rest of us watched our brethren,25 our artificial hearts pounding. We waited for their expressions to change in unison, to grow slack or illuminate with joy. Some type of sign that meant they were one again. But when the change happened, it was not joy or absence we saw, but surprise. All at once, there was a great folding. It was not a sound, or a taste, or a smell, or a sight, but an event that incorporated all five and more. If it resembled anything, it was the feeling of traveling through a wormhole, leaving one moment in time and coming out on a different plane — fast, fierce, and disorienting, followed by stillness.
