Vespa Ilkay's best days are behind her.
It doesn't matter if this statement is actually true; she has convinced herself that it is. Whenever Vespa looks at herself today all she can see is the woman she used to be: a galaxy-class doctor and assassin. A legend.
It doesn't matter if Vespa ever was a legend, or if she really has fallen as far as she thinks she has. She has made her decision, and tomorrow, she will act on it.
Although that may not matter, either. Because if the visitor in the night has their way, tomorrow will never come.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.
