Summary
Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
[...]
“Well, then? Do you need something?”
Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
“Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”or
a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.

Summary
She still loved Carol, after the unjoining. She loved her in exactly the same way. Her feelings hadn't changed from one moment to the next, from when she was joined to when she was unjoined. Why would they? She was still the same person.
The problem wasn't that Zosia didn't love Carol. The problem was that Carol didn't love Zosia. She didn't know Zosia. She had neither fallen in love with the Zosia of before nor the Zosia of afterward, she had fallen in love with the Zosia of during. She had fallen in love with them. And Zosia wasn’t them anymore.
