Chapter Summary: You are called in by your Handler to discuss something important.
[Masterlist] - [Next Chapter]
---
Year 2144.
You fidget nervously with the frayed ends of your black dress. Though the mission was a success, and the target eliminated with no casualties, things did not happen as smoothly as they could have. There is no doubt in your mind this will come up in the report. And so close to reviews too.
Fuck.
Never has riding the elevator to the 47th floor felt longer. You let out a frustrated sigh, leaning your forehead against the cool glass. It does little to sooth you. You focus on the expansive vista of the city. Well deep into the night, the city still thrums with life. A sea of neon lights disappears into the horizon. Smog wafts its way through the tops of buildings, laying itself thickly upon the air. The city disappears as the elevator breaches the clouds.
You push yourself from the glass, facing the doors just as the elevator comes to a stop with a resonant ding.
Your face is neutral and your gait confident as you step forth, making your way through the lobby. Miss Halliday, the concierge, stands ready at the front desk.
βAgent Bloodthorn. A pleasure as always.β Her smile brings you a measure of comfort, sweet honeyed voice a balm to your nerves.
βOphelia, good evening. Busy tonight?β You make light conversation, as you always do. You hand her the blood coin.
βNo busier than usual mam.β She opens her mouth to speak further, but pauses, bringing her hand up to her ear. βAh. The Handler will see you now. Suite 3 if you please.β
You give her a short nod and set a brisk pace to the suite in question. The sounds of your heels as you walk down the marbled hallway reverb far too loudly for your liking. All too quickly do you stand before the deep mahogany door. Your hand reaches for the golden handle and you enter with one fluid motion. There is no need to knock when you are expected.
Soft gold paints itself along the walls and furnishings from the lit fireplace. The floor to ceiling window at the end brings in the natural silver light of the moon. Your Handler stands at the window, hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at the city below; it would be beautiful on a cloudless night.
βAgent! A resounding success tonight my dear!β He turns to you, arms spread in congratulatory fashion.
βT-thank you, Handler!β Your body stiffens involuntarily at the praise, and you nervously pick at your ruined garment.
βCome now, [Y/N]; even after all these years, youβre still at it with the formalities with me. Iβve known you for nearly a decade and a half now child; I practically raised you!β He laughs heartily as he teases you.
βSorry James, force of habit, hahaβ¦β
He invites you to sit in front of him; a singular leather chair awaits you. As you sit, so too does he, a large wooden desk separating you two. Fluidly he retrieves two crystal classes, a bottle of dark liquid youβre sure you wonβt like. He pours you half what he pours himself, wordlessly placing the drink closer to you.
You nod in thanks, taking the glass in hand. With practiced movement, you gently swirl the liquid, giving it an experimental sniff. Where you take a small sip, James downs the contents in one gulp. You let out a small cough and return to the glass to the desk.
βOn to business then.β He pulls out several manila folders. βDespite what you might think, the reason we called you in Agent, isnβt to discuss your mission tonight.β You sit up straight when he says this, leaning forward as you watch him unwind one folder.
βA new contract came in while you were out. And as far as Iβm concerned, youβll want to be a part of this.β
He places the open folder in front of you. Your eyes skim over the words. Avatar Program. Pandora. Β
βThis isβ¦β
βCorrect. Word through the network is your brother Tomβs been scouted by Grace Augustine herself. Should start his training next year.β
You had heard as much. Sweet Tom spoke animatedly about Grace and her work. He was so excited to start training, and even more excited to put his PhDs to work on the alien world.
βAs it were, you wonβt be needing any physical training. With your natural prowess, we believe you will be able to master piloting your avatar in no time; gain experience on the go as it were.β
βM-my own avatar? Youβre giving me one of these?? Donβt they cost, billions, to make?!β You canβt help raising your voice, but you saw the numbers as you skimmed the file. Those were a lot of zeroes.
James smirks at you with a shake of the head.
βLeave the financial worrying to me Agent; thatβs not your job.β
You let out a defeated sigh, but acquiesce nonetheless. You read further. The file goes on about the local clan of natives, the Omatikaya. It covers the basics of their governing structure, touching lightly on the culture. It speaks of the relationship formed by Grace, but also their inherent distrust of the RDA.
James places another folder in front of you. There is a polaroid; two blurry figures, one circled in red. You can at least make out that they are natives, both men, presumably.
βYour mission agent, is to eliminate this man.β He taps an index finger on the circled figure.
βWho is that?β You tilt your head as you try to make out the features of the man.
βThat my dear, is Eytukan; the Clan Leader.β

Chapter Summary: You discuss the mission a bit more in depth, and visit someone very important to you.
[Masterlist] - [Previous Chapter] - [Next Chapter]
In Tenebra Fidemus - In darkness we trust. In Luce Vigemus - In light we thrive.
---
βDo you have any questions, [Y/N]?β James throws the last file into the fire. He assures you information will be clearer and more readily available once you touch down moon side.
βWhat of communication? How long is the delay to reach Earth?β
βAh. Youβll be pleased to know that the Superluminal Communications used by the RDA allow for instantaneous interstellar communication between worlds. And naturally, we have set up our own private networks.β
Your eyes widen slightly at this. You had thought communication took as long as the commute; 6 years. You are happy to be wrong.
βThere is a drawback, however, in that you can only send three bits of information per hour, and at the cost of $7,500 per bit. So do keep it as concise as possible, wonβt you? And only when necessary.β
βOf course, James. Who shall be my contact on world? What of supplies? Gear?β
βYour on-world Handler shall be a woman by the name of Paz Socorro; a pilot with SecOps. She will be responsible for meeting any and all of your needs. Now in regards to your coverβ¦β
James retrieves a thin black folder from his desk, handing it to you.
βYou have two options. One β you will arrive as a Magistrate of the Interplanetary Commerce Administration. It is by their hand that the RDA has a monopoly on Pandora and the export of her resources. You will be there to oversee that the RDA adheres to the strict rules set by the ICA, less their monopoly be revoked. You will be given complete authority over the entire base in this instance; thus you shall be able to move about unhindered. We will also assign Miss Socorro as your personal pilot for the duration of your stay. The downside here is that, by being in such a position of authority, you will have eyes on you constantly. You may also encounter resistance from some personnel in both SciOps and SecOps.β
You nod quietly as he explains further.
βTwo β you will be a bioengineer, sent at the behest of the RDA to work alongside Graceβs team. You will be researching ways to utilise the planets flora and fauna to combat disease, prolong human life, perhaps chemical warfare if you feel so inclined. We will forge the necessary scholarly documents as required. In this position, you will be far more inconspicuous; just another member of the SciOps team. However your interactions with Miss Socorro will be lessened, as we cannot guarantee she will always be your designated pilot in the field.β
You nod, crossing your arms as you consider the two options.
βWhat would you suggest, James?β
βHonestly? Option one. I believe it will make your life easier. No one will question your decisions, and even if they perhaps did, you may simply ask them under whoβs authority do they operate. Anything you do, can be under the guise of the ICAβs interests, and never will you have to explain your reasonings. Conversely, you may use your position as a bioengineer to gain access to invaluable research on deadly fauna and how it could be used to eliminate your target. Either way worry not; you neednβt give your answer just yet. You have until tomorrow night to come up with the decision.β
βTomorrow evening. A shuttle will collect you from your apartment at 2300 hours.β
βThat soon?!β That left you barely any time at all to tie up any loose ends here on Earth. Without any true way to estimate the length of time youβd spend away, you wanted to make sure you left nothing behind undone.
βTime is of the essence my dear. Here, some light reading for you before your long slumber.β He hands you a book detailing the Naβvi language; aptly named the same.
βItβll be lonely without you hereβ¦Try and come back in one piece wonβt you? In Tenebra Fidemus.β He half bows with a hand flat on his heart.
βIn Luce Vigemus.β You mimic his gesture. βThank you James, for all you have done for me and mine. I will not disappoint.β
βI know...Good luck, [Y/N], and stay safe.β He places a firm hand on your shoulders, and you look up. Your eyes meet piercing silver. You commit his face to memory; the thick grey mop of hair he keeps styled back, the wrinkles strewn on his face, the crookedness of his mouth and the crease in his eyes when he smiles. Time has been unrelenting, aging him like fine wine.
He is old, you realise, and you suddenly ponder if heβll be there to greet you upon your return. A round trip would be over a decade, and thatβs without factoring in time spent planet side. The realisation sits heavy on your heart, for you now are certain this is perhaps the last time you shall see your father figure. Although he was the one to pull you into his dark world of blood and shadow, he still did more for you than your birth parents ever did.
You jump at him, wrapping your arms around his mid, burying your face into his chest. By sheer force of will you do not cry, but your shoulders shake still.
Words remain unspoken, unneeded, as he wraps his arms around you in turn. He knows precisely what youβre thinking. He holds you for a moment not yet long enough.
βGo. Before I try and change your mind.β He gently pushes you from him. You take his hand, squeezing the back of it to your cheek. Your eyes meet once more, and with a final determined nod, you turn and briskly walk out of the suite.
You donβt look back.
---
Descension was no less easier.
Your new mission weighs heavily upon your mind. You have faced dangers untold and hardships unnumbered in your pursuit of betterment. But to be pulled nearly 4 and a half light years away? Unthinkable. Inconsiderable.
But of course you had agreed; in actuality, there was little choice to be made. Denying would look poorly upon both you and your handler for a start, and you were not about to tarnish the reputation of the man that essentially raised you. More importantly, you thought of your dear brother, Tom.
As smart as he was, he was not built for combat. He was decidedly the smarter twin. Academically gifted , the man was inundated with PhD honours. He deserved the safety of his books, the certainty of walls and structure. What kind of sister would you be then, if you let his gentle soul venture into these uncharted wilds, leaving him at the mercy of this xenosanctuary?
Thus your choice was clear; you must accept the contract. You gave yourself a secondary mission then; eliminate all who would threaten the safety of your brother. From the lowest grunt, to The Director themself; no one would be spared your golden stiletto blades.
Family above all else.
---
A shuttle awaits you as you exit the premises after a quick shower and wardrobe change. You inform the AI of your destination, and with monotone acceptance, youβre off into the skies.
A song you donβt recognise plays, but you enjoy the feeling of the dark bass as it pulses through your bones.
Far off in the distance, thick grey clouds reach up towards an unseen sky. Deep orange cuts through the effervescent neon sea; the remnants of your last mission set ablaze.
You peel your eyes from the scene, dragging your gaze over the city below. Flashing lights, dancing holograms. The people move as one; a single living organism splintering itself into every nook and cranny, invading the dark crevices below.
And somewhere in this hell of concrete spires and minds of metal, your two brothers reside.
---
Tomβs apartment complex resides somewhere in the nicer part of town; if you can even call it that. The shuttle drops you off at a designated landing zone, several floors above where you need to be.
The moment your heel touches down, youβre off in a hurried gait. You become one with the crowd, pirouetting through the sea of warm bodies, avoiding their touch as you weave through. The air is thick, laden with the stench of garbage, street food, and something sickly sweet.
You pay no mind to the AI holos that vie for your attention, their faux voices disappear into the background as you press forward.Β Advertisements in a language you donβt understand lick at your ears from all directions, drowned only by the sound of the locals around you; drunks arguing with any who look at them wrong, the not so sound of mind and their unintelligible ramblings, users openly abusing on the streets, even the faint moans wafting on the air from dark corners unseen.
You hate this cesspool of debauchery and sin. But time and time again, your brother refuses your offers to live with you. Your apartment is high in the clouds, far away from the lower dregs of society. It would be much safer you insisted, pleaded, but your brother is as stubborn as you are deadly. He doesnβt want to rely on you, wants to be able to stand on his own two feet. An intellectual prodigy, you often wonder if common sense was perhaps lost on him. Never the matter, you had him under constant surveillance. Thanks to your connections, the criminals operating in this sector know the resident of this apartment is off limits β no exceptions.
You arrive to his front door. With your knuckles, you perform a rhythmic set of taps; a secret signal to let him know it was safe to open, and whom to expect. You hear hurried footsteps from inside, a loud thump followed by muffled cursing. There is the distinct sound of things being knocked over, followed by more footsteps, and the fumbling of several locks. The door is wrenched open, and you are greeted with the flushed face of your beloved brother.
β[Y/N]!!!β He exclaims, grabbing you by the hand and pulling you into a hug. You return it with equal enthusiasm.
βTommy! Sorry, did I come at a bad time? I hope I didnβt wake you.β You step into the apartment, closing the door and reengaging theΒ multitude of locks.
βNo not at all! Iβve just been going through some of my notes from my dissertation.β He busies himself with picking up scattered papers and books strewn along the floor; no doubt the result of the scuffling you heard before. You make yourself comfortable on the couch.
βDonβt you already have a PhD?β
βYeeeeees, but one can never be over prepared! Grace Augustine is a world renowned Xenobotanist and Xenolinguist. I have to cover all my bases if I want to impress her!β Your heart melts and your expression softens when you see the twinkle in his eye, and hear the fire in his voice.
βTommy β youβve already impressed her. You start training next year! Iβm sure sheβs just as excited for you to get there, as you are.β
βMaybe youβre rightβ¦β He gives you a shy smile, a small huff of a laugh leaves him as he rubs the back of his head. His expression morphs to confusion though as he gives you a thoughtful look.
βHey, it is pretty late...What did you come by for? Not that youβre unwelcome or anything! Itβs just, you know, later than usualβ¦β
You cover your mouth as you giggle at his fumbling.
βNothing bad, donβt worry! Itβs good news actually!β
Tommy ceases his cleaning, and comes to sit beside you. He faces you, giving you his undivided attention.
βSoooo you know how I have that government job that Iβm under strict contractual obligation to not divulge, under any circumstance, to anyone, ever?β
βYou mean the very suspicious career that Jake and I are both convinced is actually you working as a high-class escort for the billionaires that run the world? Yes, please do go on.β
You make an offended gasp, but laugh as you playfully punch him in the arm.
βAAH! No! Stop! Iβm sorry! I bruise easily!β
The two of you are in a fit of giggles as you continue to shove each other, which then devolves into the two of you grabbing couch cushions and start wailing on one another.
Tom holds up his hands in surrender, yielding to your superior strength. The conversation resumes once the two of you become calm once more and the laughter dies down.
βAs I was sayingβIβm being shipped off-world for my next big project.β
βOh? Which colony are off to? Somewhere in the Zeta quadrant?β
You shake your head. You let him fire off a few more guesses, enjoying the frustrated look slowly developing on his face as he wracks his brain for an answer.
βTry something a little closer to home. Something you might one day be, intimately familiar with, as it were.β
He stares at you, brow furrowed with confusion.
Realisation then hits him, eyes widening.
βNooooooβ¦β
βYeeeeees,β there is a tease in the tone of your voice as you nod with a widening smile.
β[Y/N]! Are you serious?! This is amazing!β Without warning he has you trapped in another hug, vigorously swaying side to side.
βI have so many questions! When are you going? What will you be doing? Will we be at the same RDA base? Is the government giving you your own Avatar? Have you been practising the Naβvi language? Have you even started? Would learning it even be beneficial to whatever it is youβre doing there?! Whatββ
βTom!β Both of your hands are immediately cradling his head. It shuts him up instantly.
βBreathe bro. You know damn well I canβt answer, ANY of those questions! Ah well, except Iβm actually getting flown out tomorrow nightβ¦β
βTomorrow?! Thatβs so soonβ¦β Tom grabs your hands in his, slowly lowering them to his lap. His eyes are cast downward. You can see his pupils shifting rapidly as his mind races with unknown thoughts.
Quickly his on his feet, releasing your hands. He sprints off into his room without a word. You call after him.
βTomβ¦?β
βOne sec!β
After a few minutes, heβs right back in front of you, cradling a small black box.
βI was gonna wait till your birthday to give this to youβbut seeing as I wonβt see you for a few yearsβ¦β He holds the box out to you.
The material is soft velvet, smooth under your skin. You let out a faint gasp when your eyes see the contents within.
A small pendant of silver, fashioned into the shape of a rose, with a ruby fastened into the centre; tied to a thin silver chain.
βTom, itβs beautiful.β
βYouβre welcome.β He gives you a self-assured smile, clearly quite pleased with himself. You turn around and he helps fasten it around your neck. It sits comfortably just below your clavicle.
βThank you, you really didnβt have to do this.β
βI knowβ¦But I wanted to give you something special, now that I can afford to. Itβs made of platinum by the way, so itβs nice and durable.β You wordlessly nod, putting the small black box into your jacket pocket. Tom grabs both your hands in his, holding them up in the space between you two.
ββ¦Listen. You always took good care of Jake and I, ever sinceβ¦Well youβve acted not only as our big sister, but also filled the shoes of mom and dad. And you know what? Iβm happy it was you there, and not them. Seeing you work hard, coming home at ridiculous hours, but still finding time to spend with us? It mustβve been hard, having to grow up so fastβ¦But you were always smilingβHell I donβt remember you ever complaining, even when we were being brats for no reasonβ¦Youβre one of, if not, the strongest person I know.β
There comes a painful throb in your chest, the soft silk of his words wraps itself around you, squeezing. Your eyes glisten with the promise of tears, but you hold steadfast to your emotions.
βLook, all Iβm trying to say is, thank you. Thank you, for taking care of me. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten all those scholarships, wouldnβt have had the drive to get my PhDs, and probably wouldnβt be sitting in front of you right now. So, my beloved big sister [Y/N], thank you for being my family. I love you.β
And the dam breaks.
You crash into him, hugging him with all your might. Tears flow freely down your face as you wail uncontrollably. Hearing him say those things, suddenly makes everything you have done, everything you have sacrificed, worth it all. There is an almost indescribable feeling that washes over and through you. It brings about a peace you hadnβt known you needed. It was a reassurance that your brother was going to be okayβhis future was secure, thanks you both yours and his efforts; all in spite of the rough start you had in life.
βTOOOOOM!!! ITβS OKAY!!! IβD DO IT ALL AGAIN FOR YOU GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU TOOOOO!!!β You bawl out, still crying.
Tom laughs as he pats your back.
---
βHere, just TAKE it. Itβll give me peace of mind!β You hold out your spare apartment keycard. He sighs at your antics.
Some time after you had finally calmed down, you brought up the idea that he should live in your apartment while you are away; look after the place as it were. He wouldnβt have to pay rent, as that was covered by your job, and it would be in a safer neighbourhood. Still he fights you on this. You pout at him, puffing your cheeks.
βYou owe me for making me cry!β
βOh my GOD fine! Give it here!β He grabs the card, and immediately you face turns to a victorious smile.
βGood. Iβll be gone by tomorrow, so you can start moving your stuff in the day after.β
Tom nods but stifles a yawn at the same time. You cast a glance at the clock on the wall, realising the time.
βI should probably head off then, itβs getting rather late, and you clearly need your beauty sleep.β
He swats your arm playfully, and calls you something in a language you donβt recognise as the two of you make your way to the door.
βWhat did you just call me?β
βHa! Itβs Naβvi for βmoronβ. Even if you donβt need to learn the language for your job, I suggest you do. Because even if weβre not at the same base, you better believe Iβm going to annoy you every chance I get! Even if it has to be over comms.β
You roll your eyes at him as you undo the various locks. With the door open, you turn to your brother once more. You pull him into one final hug. This time the two of you remain quiet as you embrace.
Your stomach flips, an uncomfortableness settles deep within. This goodbye feels far too final, and you do not like that.
Hesitantly do you remove yourself from his embrace, taking a small step back and out into the cold.
βIβd say goodbye, but that doesnβt feel right. So, Iβll see you later?β
He gives you a confident smile.
βYeahβ¦See ya later [Y/N]. Have a safe trip home. And a safe journey too. Keep Pandora warm for me.β
With a tiny wave, you turn and slowly start the ascent to the shuttle bay. Before you disappear behind the next flight of stairs, you turn to meet his gaze once more. The two of you share one final wave and an exchange of smiles.
He knows you wonβt move first, and so you watch him disappear safely behind his apartment door.
---
The penthouse is dark when you arrive. You remove your shoes, leaving them in the entryway. Your hands glide over the walls as you meander into the living room, collapsing on the couch.
You lay there for a few moments, idly playing with the pedant on your chest. You can feel sleep tugging at the recesses of your mind, threatening to take you in a moments notice. With a grunt you sit yourself up. You know you have to call Jake now; youβll be far too busy tomorrow.
You heart feels heavy in your chest as you think of him. He was deployed into active service in Venezuela a few months back, and contact with him is few and far between. The odds of him picking up are unlikely, but you attempt to establish a connection anyway.
It rings and rings, but there is no answer. The AI offers for you to record a video message.
You sigh in defeat, saddened that you would not be able to speak with him before you leave. For you it would feel like days, maybe weeks till you spoke with him next. But for him, heβd have to wait 6 years before he hears from you again. Guilt gnaws away at you, but the situation is out of your hands. Despite your pleas, he was insistent on joining the marines. He was more adamant than ever once he was accepted and started their rigorous training.
Often he would call you all hours of the night, once he retired with his fellow recruits to their bunkers. And even though he looked battered and bruised, his smile was toothy and genuine. The comradery of his fellows made known as they always invaded his personal space when he was chatting with you.
βYooo Sully!!! Aye, bro! Is that your missus?!β The face of a stranger pushes against Jakeβs as they try and get a better look at you on the comm pad in his hands.
βNo you dickβthatβs my sister! Urgh, [Y/N] this is Waitara. Waitara, this [Y/N] my SISTER.β You hide your mouth behind your hand as you let out a soft giggle.
βHiiii Waitara. I hope you guys are taking good care of my baby brother?β
βAyyyye, I promise, weβre taking good care of this one!β He puts one arm around Jake, giving him a noogie in the process. You once again laugh at your brotherβs annoyed reaction as he tries to swat the other man away.
βWell then you have my deepest thanks Waitara.β
βAww Miss! You can just call me Matiu, means βGift of Godβββ
βOKAY Romeo thatβs enough! Stop trying to flirt with my sister!β Jake interrupts Matiu with a hard shove to the side. You can hear him laughing at Jakeβs expense off camera. You faintly hear him call out to the others, Jake rolling his eyes, and before you know it, youβre being introduced to the others; much to Jakeβs annoyance.
You on the other hand are all smiles and laughter as they inundate you with embarrassing stories of Jake, plus variations of βMiss Sully! Look what I can do!β
You smile at the memory, but remind yourself you need to record this now lest you fall asleep.
You hit the button to begin the recording, and your image appears on the screen.
You give an enthusiastic wave to the camera and a wide smile.
βHi Jake! How are you doing? I hope everything is uhh, as good as it can beβ¦β Your smile falters when you realise the man is in active duty, not training. He could very well be on the battlefield right now, under enemy fire. You bite your lip to stop yourself from over-thinking. Unlike Tom, Jake was always a fighter. Where Tom excelled academically, Jake excelled physically. His confidence was easily backed by the strength of his heart, and the strength of his fist. You shake your head and continue.
βUrgh sorry. I know youβre on active duty right now and it probably sucksβ¦But I have some good news! Uhh, though whether you think itβs good remains to be seenβ¦Anyway! You know my job, government, classified, NDA yadda yadda. Well! I have been given a big new assignment to take onβ¦And for it, theyβre going to be shipping me off-world! Itβs gonna take me 6 years to get there cuz it's about four and a half light years awayβ¦I was hoping to speak with you before I leave, but I guess the universe has other plans huh? Iβd tell you where, but, ya know. NDA and all thatβ¦β
Unfortunately you couldnβt really speak of where you going, nor elude to what you were doing. Tom was also under restrictions in regards to his future work with the Avatar Program. The only reason he spoke of it to you was, one, you are his big sister and he was always going to spill the beans to you, risks be damned. But two, your βgovernment jobβ meant you were well entitled to be privy to such information. At least thatβs how you spun it to him.
βOh! I just came back from seeing Tom, look what he gave me, isnβt it pretty?β You lean in closer to the camera, showing off the pendant.
βSaid it was for my upcoming birthdayβ¦β You go quiet again, but only for moment.
βListen Jake. I donβt know how often, if at all, Iβll be able to get in contact with you once I touch down. Itβs a pretty remote place, and the work Iβm doingβ¦Look I donβt want you to feel like Iβm abandoning you here on Earth while I go, chasing the stars or whatever. Everything I do, I do for you and Tommy. I love you guys, so, SO much. Youβre my precious baby brother, and there isnβt anything in the entire God damn galaxy I wouldnβt do for you. I hope you know thatβ¦ I love you Jake. Please stay safe out there. Come back to me in one piece? Love you, and Iβll see you laterβ¦β
You hit stop on the recording, sending it in one go.
There is so much more you want to say, so much more you feel you should say. But your emotions are running high, and you feel so utterly drained from everything that has happened, compounded with your worries for the future.
With conscious effort you drag yourself to the bedroom, changing into you usual sleep attire.
You move to throw yourself onto the bed.
Youβre asleep before your head even hits the pillow.
