Summary
When Jaylen collapses onto home plate, she spends three hours with her fingertips at the fragile skin of her neck, feeling her own cautious heartbeat grow steadier.
It takes a half hour for it to beat at all. The th-thump of it, when it begins, is deafening after so long in silence.
(Jaylen returns with debts to pay.)

Summary
Jaylen throws the ball in her hand as hard as she can at the wall in front of her. When it bounces, it goes through Mike’s torso, lands somewhere behind him. He stares at the spot it passed through for a moment; just beneath his heart, something reverberates, almost like a heartbeat. Almost.
“I think,” Jaylen says, after a long silent moment, “I want to be alone.”
(Jaylen, Mike, and the aftermath of season nine.)
