After his first full day on the job in the body of Alice Han, Hal felt great. He arrived back in the central station with a smile on his face. He had a ticket back to Alice’s--er, his home. He wondered if he would ever see Alice with his body again. Part of him guessed that she was simply an angel granting his wish. There was no possible way a young woman like her would give up her life to have an old body like his. On that assumption, he knew he never would see her again, but he so desperately wanted to thank her.
