    Summary

    Smaller things are different, too, ones that Artemy isn’t sure will ever go back to normal. The people in town- his people, his friends, are all completely different than he remembers them. Lara is unusually angry, and seems to resent everyone who stopped her from avenging her father, Artemy especially. Bad Grief is distant and seems unmoored after his time with the Inquisitor. And Stakh-
    Well, Artemy isn’t quite sure what’s happening with Stakh. He’s been avoiding everyone, holed up in his gloomy apartment for days at a time. He shows up to help at the clinic that Artemy has been setting up, but he doesn’t talk to anyone.
    --
    Artemy forces Rubin to hang out with him and they try very hard to forgive each other.

    Summary

    Now there’s Daniil, real and tangible; shipped himself to the town from the Capital because Artemy asked him to, and Artemy still feels something he can’t quite describe about it. He doesn’t know how long this will last, how long he will stay, and the dread of it keeps intruding into his brain like a migraine that won’t go away. Daniil only arrived yesterday, and they haven’t discussed how much he’ll be hanging around.

    He’s here now, he keeps reminding himself. He’s here now, and that’s all that matters.

    Summary

    Water is like blood. It flows within the earth and escapes through her wounds, spilling in rivers. The essence of life, the thread that binds an udurgh; it all ends in the ocean. Artemy has seen the ocean once, which is more than nearly everyone who lives in the Town-on-Gorkhon. The waves were black and freezing and roared like his pulse in his ears, and he fell asleep in the sand. Murky dreams of the ocean, at night in the Silent House.
    The Tower has fallen. The Town suffers a sea-change. Artemy wonders what it all means; Sticky wonders what comes next; Murky wonders what she’ll become. Closure is never complete, and it is a harsh winter.

    Summary

    “So,” the Bachelor says to him. “This is goodbye, I believe.” And then; “until next time.”

    Behind his voice, Artemy can hear the chatter of a newly healthy, newly cured town. Dankovsky lowers himself from where he’s standing on the edge of the train. One of his legs brushes Artemy’s side as he sits back, and then — pulls away.

    “You must be relieved,” Artemy says. “Finally going back to your Capital.”

    Dankovsky scoffs. “I suppose so. Are you?”

    “That’s a stupid question,” Artemy says.

    Summary

    Artemy invites the other healers over for dinner when the days get colder and shorter. Winter is coming, and a warm meal would be good for both of them. The Bachelor looks like he barely eats these days, and Artemy doesn’t know if Clara truly has a home or someone to cook her warm meals.
    He finds the Bachelor in the Broken Heart, halfway through what seems to be his second or third glass of whiskey.
    He finds Clara near the top of the stairway to heaven in the Gut, her legs dangling off the edge of the landing.
    --------
    After the Polyhedron is destroyed, Artemy and the other healers live with the fallout, and try to become friends along the way.

    Summary

    Whatever it was, the little voice in his head, it told him to go home.

    What he’ll find home is a different story. A vast quiet, thick and swathing. A dark hush over the rooms, the kitchen, nothing but the scraping of mice and the stray cat Notkin had brought in. An absence, acute, of Isidor, still lingering in the air.

    And somewhere upstairs, far and close, in a room sealed tightly shut, another man sleeping.

    Or: a breaking point.

    Summary

    Artemy is pulling out blankets, blankets neither he nor his father had touched in years, too precious by far to be used for such banalities like sleeping. Especially when Artemy was the one sleeping -- that was hardly something to be enjoyed, much more an act of maintenance, like keeping a machine oiled.
    Sprays of cloth flowers and herbs emerge from the small linen closet, just the same as he could remember it, the bigger quilt stuffed with wool, the wedding quilt from his mother. It was the only thing he knew of her, tangibly, the delicate stitches and hems he's sure even Daniil can feel the love pouring through.

    -

    Daniil and Artemy try to get some rest in what is now their home.

    Summary

    “Mornin’,” Artemy rumbles. Apparently that’s quite pleasant to Danya’s ears, as a little flush crosses his pale cheeks. “I made coffee.”
    “That you did,” he laughs, carefully perching in his chair, taking a long draught of the steam rising off it, “Thank you.”
    -
    Artemy makes breakfast. Daniil is glad.
