Robert remembered his old computer. As the hard drive got stuffed with data, the computer slowed and slowed until he finally had to do some digital housekeeping. He felt the same way. Having learnt so much so fast, his mind was slowing down. What he needed was to reboot.
"Li, I've got to get some sleep," he said, and a wave of fatigue engulfed him as he spoke.
"Well, I'm guessing your place needs to cool off a bit, so..." She left the thought hanging between them.
"Sure. As long as I don't have to sleep on broken glass," he mumbled.
By the time they got to Li's apartment, it had stopped snowing and the horizon was beginning to lighten. The fire had been extinguished and the brigade long gone. Li undressed and took a shower. Robert was sound asleep on the carpet when she finished and climbed into bed. She whispered goodnight to the motionless figure. The jagged window whistled a lullaby until her eyes closed.
