Practical Philosophy, Monday

[endsthegame]

The weather had improved, at least in terms of temperature, and the clouds overhead didn't look like they were going to burst. So Ender had directed his class to the lawn again, where he sat in the grass with the bag of sandwiches by his side.

"So," he said, "How do you feel about the future now?"

That was all.

"In my experience, the island has a habit of sticking to you like glue even when you don't want it to," Ender mused. "It's not as curious as you might think."

"Perhaps not to you," Yeul said agreeably. "I can only speak of my own experience."

"Why do you find it curious?" Ender asked.

Yeul tilted her head, considering the question.

"The island's power had a longer reach than what I expected," she said.

"You thought it wouldn't be able to reach you?" Ender said.
