Now I kind of wish we'd gotten to see something from Six Direction's POV, just to have a comparison with Eight Antidote - though the narrative does make very clear that even a 90% clone is a new person, and that Cure is very different from his ancestor.

Thank you so much for letting me know it was Mallow! That is the one thing I miss when I listen to books - actually seeing names. (For the longest time I was confused about the ship being called "Wait for the Wheel" because - well. Homonyms!)
