Summary
Albedo has not been built to love. Plain and simple.
He doesn’t mind though. It's one of the few mysteries that he is content to not sully his hands with. There are other feelings he is acquainted with that stain the blood just as fervently. Equal parts caustic and saccharine.
Surely love cannot burn brighter than the embers of a fallen star.

Summary
Albedo lacks an age to use as a bookmark for when he learns the word. All he has is Rhinedottir tightening a tourniquet around his arm, practised and cold, when he decides to see how it tastes.
“I love you.” Albedo says for the first and final time, his curious ears assessing the way it echoes off dank, stone walls.
It sounds rather unremarkable.
Or: a young Albedo, a parched curiosity, and the fangs that follow.
