    Summary

    Then, finally, because he can’t help himself— “Your book,” Daniel says, with a pocket of quiet that, for the sake of clarity on the recording, is likely a nod.

    “Yes.”

    “Last thing you read was about Italy, and now you’re back to Delhi. What gives?” Another pause. “Feeling nostalgic?”

    Armand doesn’t speak for a stretch of time. “I thought it prudent to… revisit some memories, after Louis concluded your interview. He showed me indirectly the merits of reflection.”

    “Learning from your divorce, lookit that. So you can teach an old dog new tricks.”

    “Did you have something more to ask?” Armand says this sharply, as if irritated.

    Summary

    The ancients used to eviscerate animals to read the future in their entrails. How might his guts spill? What future can Louis see in the bloody mess of him?

    Summary

    “Arun never knew desire,” is the first thing Armand says when he starts speaking, granted not what Daniel thought he would say but not not how he thought this conversation would go either.

    -

    Post-QotD, Armand and Daniel visit Paris and visit some of Armand's (their) history as well.

    Summary

    Three paintings side-by-side; three nameless figures. One hunched-over and long-haired, draped in bloodstained bedsheets. One on a pedestal, teeth rotting from a plague. One screaming and starving, blind on a blood-orange background. Armand feels like he’s going to vomit every single thing inside of him out onto the showroom floor. His stomach drops the same way it did the first time he saw the de Romanus exhibit in the National Gallery, with the knowledge that every eye in the room is on him.

    [Why they bought the Bacon triptych, and why Armand sold it.]
