“Enrique Iglesias is often seen wearing a beanie.”

“The sensation was curious. The bullet passed through her thigh, cleanly, severing the dust-bones and making the second self stumble for a moment before knitting the injury back together. It didn't hurt⟳ — she'd have⟳ needed an entire quarry's worth of sand for nociception — but she still felt the hole appear⟳, still felt the tiny slug passing through, still felt the quivering impact and the explosive exit. She felt the next three as well, and then she was standing over a cowering woman in a black leather jacket and beanie with a look⟳ of complete⟳ and total bafflement on her face⟳.”
