A companion addressed as Brandy, close enough to the narrator that the telling seems aimed at him.

## Who they are

Brandon — Brandy to those near him — is bound to the narrator by a familiarity that shapes how the story is told aloud. The passages place him alongside Nibley's desperate pitch aboard the Jove-Run, sharing the crowded, rattling world of men with families on Jupiter. His presence gives the narration a listener, someone whose reactions the narrator anticipates.
