Summary
One year later Dankovsky returns to Town-on-Gorkhon, paperthin and worn. Pushing aside his confused tangle of feelings for his old colleague, Artemy resolves to diagnose the nature of Dankovsky's malaise--and the cause of his return.
Only in the old fishing hut outside of town is it safe, quiet enough to talk, and free from the memories that plague them both. But they can't escape the threads in their blood. As visions rise to the surface and pull at the tides of their veins, a choice must be made. The wound cannot be left to fester at any cost.
(An after of sorts.)

Summary
“He wounds, Cub. You are aware of that.”
“Yes. But he also heals. What we saw of him back then was also a reflection of us. He became what he needed to be in order to do his duties. We were hostile to one another, Stakh. Imagine how it was for us and how it was for an outsider… how it still is for an outsider.” Artemy looked down. It’s been months since the plague ended and still others treated Dankovsky like a stranger. He treated himself as a stranger. Calling him any other thing would have felt disingenuous... but it still felt wrong.
“Of course. Humans need to adapt to their surroundings to live and survive. But snakes do not adapt when their skins shed, nor do they become anew. They become more of what they already are.” Rubin spoke slowly, choosing his words with either care or caution while looking at Daniil’s signature coat on the rack.

Summary
Joker replied by thrusting a travel cup of coffee towards Crow. “It’s a little cold. I hope you don’t mind.”
Crow gave a small wave. “No thank you. I’m picky about my coffee.”
“I know someone who also says they’re picky about their coffee. They say they don’t like sweets either, but I’ve been sneaking sugar in their coffee for the past week, and they told me that I’ve been making their coffee better than usual lately.” Joker twisted the cap off the cup and took a sip.
“Glad to know that you openly admit to poisoning people.”
“Yeah, and what are you gonna do about it? Arrest me?”

“I could have killed you,” Angela snaps.
“You should have, technically,” Moira says lazily, perching on the edge of a desk.
