Rhapsodies

And with that, the party is over, and Gabriella is very happy to be heading out.

I’m sure she will enjoy the nightcap with Michelle and Dielle. With any luck, Dielle will keep her from overdoing it.

The only problem I had with the story was that just as I was finishing everything and putting it in the can, I checked the archives. That was when I realized that Gabriella had worked this party last year.

The only explanation I can give for why she’s been freaking out for the last three weeks is that last year, she had just started and was mostly shadowing Dielle. She did not use the strange freight elevator, and nobody told her about “those gigs”. Because of this, she forgot about anything strange that was going on because, after all, it was one of “those gigs”. (Besides, she was too busy obsessing about Fedya.)
