    I think they should both be covered in stickers from all over the world, like luggage in old movies.

      Maybe they are when we get to see a more closeup view. On the other hand part of the problem was Dina’s ability to move undetected and people would have to detect them to put stickers on them.

        They could put the stickers on themselves. Lotta high school kids (and maybe college, too, who knows?) like stickers.

          As a college librarian, I can confirm that college students love stickers. We keep a bowl of them on our desk and they are wildly popular.

                A gripping story, filled with highs and lows, and an ending none could have predicted. I loved every second of it.

                5 stars.

          As a 40+yo, I can confirm that you don’t need to be high to love stickers. Not in high school, not in college, not at any age. The only people I know of who hate stickers are parents of tiny children, and that’s only because they are hard to scrape off some of the surfaces that said tiny children like to put them on.

        That’s an interesting point. It’s been established that both of them can use either voice — but it could be that this means Amber can “put on” AG’s voice and vice versa, rather than it being an affectation for both of them.

          I don’t think that’s the case from the times we’ve seen AG use the same voice as Amber. Like, when she woke up hungover and was yelling at Amber, she wasn’t using the AG voice.

    Dina and Charlie previously existed in a state of quantum indeterminacy. By saying ‘They’re right behind you”, Amazi-Girl collapsed their quantum state, temporarily fixing their position in three-dimensional space-time.

            There are some who would describe this as the state of the bird (and Mr. D) collapsing, but in fact there is no reason to believe anything collapsed.

                No, the proof is in the fact of quantum erasure – in that if you erase the information gained from observing the wordiness of the bird (which in this case would involve a memory wipe of Mr. D and anyone who has read this thread, plus editing it out of the web page) then the original quantum interference between the worded and unworded state of the bird remains intact, something that would be impossible if the state of the bird had actually collapsed. The Copenhagen school of birders with a superstitious belief in collapse don’t deny the fact of quantum erasure, but pass it off as just another another quantum weirdness, somehow without realizing it makes their interpretation absurd.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
