Summary
Two weeks in, Napoleon thinks that if he tried, he might be able to forget what city they’re in. He can’t, of course. It’s Vienna — she’s Vienna? he’s never been quite clear on whether characterizing cities helps him fit them any better, or whether it sets them forever apart — and he could never help falling in love with a city like Vienna, particularly in the spring.

Summary
Napoleon starts thinking of rather more useful things, like the points of light at the edge of his vision, and the way that he was out of breath to begin with, and then, incongruously, thinks instead of the way that Illya, face half-turned away as it is, listening for a knock at the door, has him transfixed, no blade but his body and the way that he moves as if doing what he was made to do.
