In a hundred years, Rachel is still one of the most popular names across the Earth. Marco, Jacob, Cassie – all popular, but not as much. And Tobias… he's mentioned in the books, the TV series, the movies, but usually only as the tragedy. Ax is a legend, the alien that fought for humanity.
But Rachel… there's a Rachel Day to honor her, celebrated by every nation. There are official biographies, fictional adventure series, children who dress like her on Halloween. Captain America and Rachel Berenson are the American heroes, but everyone knows that Rachel Berenson was real.
Cassie's daughter Hope has a daughter named Yvonne, who has a daughter named Annalyn, who has a daughter named Rachel. All of them are gifted at morphing, and all of them dream of the stars.
Cassie dies after a long life, the only one who does. She dies in her sleep, dreaming of being young again, of laughing with Rachel, of holding Jake's hand, of running through a field on four powerful legs. She dies with Rachel's voice in her ears - I've been waiting for you.
