"The Butterfly Disjunct" is a short story set in a far-future universe where time and space have collapsed, and the only people still alive are those on an artificial planet kept safe by the Guardian, a specially trained woman who can choose between branching parallel universes to keep it—and all of humanity—alive.
Jeyna is only a child when she's thrust into the role of the Guardian. When she's faced with a decision that impacts the only person who's ever really loved her, can she still carry out the sacrifices of her duty?
