Summary
“We were just discussing our quarry for today. Have you ever met the Beast of the Northern Forest?”
“No,” Jon replies. The title does register as somehow familiar in his mind, but he immediately buries the feeling. The last thing he needs is a personal connection to today’s victim.
“You were still very young during the last social season, I suppose,” Elias says. Jon doesn’t respond to the comment, doesn’t allow himself to feel anything about it. Elias continues, “He’s a coveted prize among hunters. Many members of the guild, myself included, have been trying to trap him for years, with no luck. He’s very—”
Jon stops listening.

Summary
Martin usually has more shame than this.
Despite what certain Archivists might think, he isn’t oblivious. He knows Jon doesn’t like him, and while Jon seems to think that Martin has made it his mission in life to bother him whenever possible, Martin usually does his best to avoid Jon as much as civility and his job will allow.
But the thing is, Martin is lonely.
Worse than that, he’s 1 AM Lonely.
Martin has become something of an expert in loneliness, over the years, and he can confidently assert that 1 AM loneliness is the absolute worst. 7 AM loneliness is rough. 8 PM loneliness can be dire. But 1 AM loneliness is utterly, entirely hopeless. If he felt this way while the sun was still up, he might be able to find an excuse to call Tim and Sasha that wasn’t just, “I wanted to hear your voice.” If nothing else, he could walk to a library, or a coffee shop, and remember that there were other people in the world. But at 1 AM, he has nothing to do but sit with the yawning, aching emptiness in his chest, and feel like he is the last person left on the face of the earth.
Except for Jonathan Sims.
