Background[]
Eliza was supposed to be a prophetic child. She was worshipped in a cult when she was younger but ran away at seventeen. When she escaped her family, she changed her name and disappeared. For seven years, she lived alone because of her recurring nightmare of beasts tearing at the sky and coming down upon her. Her nightmare is followed by a severe adrenaline crash and she's left with a feeling of remorse she describes as "a rank leviathan corpse left to rot on the shore of her mind."[1] Her nightmare is so intense that when she was seven years old, she had to get a pacemaker because she kept going into cardiac arrhythmia.
Gabriel and Eliza were "friendly while not quite friends" for a year, until Gabriel's girlfriend moved to New York for her post-doc and he needed a roommate. Gabriel and Eliza are both research fellows at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
