Eliza disagrees with Max. She isn’t ready to tell Wallace that she likes him as more than a friend.
That Monday, Wallace gives her his latest pages. They include a scene beloved by much of the MS fandom, where the main character, Amity, watches Faren, her love interest, sleep, and thinks to herself, “He found me in a constellation” (156). Members of the MS fandom put the line—changed, slightly, to “You found me”—on posters and other merchandise, incorporate it into tattoos, and even use it in wedding vows. Eliza admits to herself that though she had a meaning in mind when she created the scene, she’s still not entirely sure what it was.
Eliza struggles to keep producing her MS pages after the break, distracted by texting with Wallace. She maintains her commitment to quality because whenever something isn’t as good as it could be, she feels bad about letting the “story” down. When she isn’t drawing for the webcomic, she makes fan art for Wallace, who keeps comparing her to LadyConstellation. She starts to wish that he knew who she was, but she doesn’t tell him. She takes the same approach to not telling him that her mother took her to the doctor, who prescribed birth control pills.
