I love the *fractured* feel of it (no pun intended of course), the palpable sensation that the crew is adrift, distracted, so inward-focused that they can't link to each other anymore, and help each other heal.
As I told you, I love the moment when Chiana tells Aeryn that she saved herself by running away: I like to think that here the first seed of Aeryn's departure from Moya is planted, the concept of leaving it all behind her to saver herself from... herself, I guess.
Another image I love is the one in the flashback to Valldoon, where the tight, zippered clothes and the equally tight braid are all that's keeping Aeryn together. It's all observed with Aeryn's usual matter-of-fact, dry awareness.
The "just don't go" at the end touches me deeply: it's a poignant forewarning of things to come.
As usual, your spaces between words say much more than the words themselves.
Well done!
