“I brought you something,” Leo said. He handed her a slip of paper—the last note Bamby ever wrote him.

“Close. Immer —always. Sex —not just the act. The root is secare , to cut or to follow. She’s an ‘always-follower.’ A doll built to reflect the owner’s desire so perfectly that she loses her own shape.”

He realized the truth: Bamby wasn’t a lover. She was a practice for love. A beautiful, patient, silent teacher. And he had been trying to make her into something she was never meant to be: a real, flawed, flesh-and-blood partner.

Leo looked at Mara. Mara nodded.
