Raven moves on.

Synopsis[]

Raven thinks about how everybody else has moved on, mostly into relationships with children. She spends time as an aunt, particularly with children who are very into reading. Fenn dubbed the group Raven's Readers.

She has spent some time in "deep dives", long-running simulations with a shallow clone outside (with possible memory modification). For two years, she played Madeline Melcore, a hero with outrageous magical powers fighting the Dark King, and at the end she was able to bring some context to her emotions and time with Uther.

She has recently been spending a lot of time with the Total Resurrection Working Group: a society aiming to resurrect absolutely everyone (i.e. those people who no-one existing in heaven knows well enough to request resurrection). They are constrained by the Authority that only people who are strongly desired to be resurrected can be, and self-edits are forbidden, so they have to spend a lot of time getting to know the people they intend to resurrect so that they can sincerely request the resurrection. She has been resurrecting one person every two or three days for seven years or so, but has ceased to enjoy it and plans to take a break.

Raven accepts matchmaking, and meets Clarke Rinsome at a dinner date. She gets on well, and invites him to spend two or three years with her in an Authority-created deep dive with her, and after the fact they'll understand each other a lot better.
