Summary
The Haruspex and the Bachelor recount the ending of this morbid little play to one another. It's absurd. It's meaningless. It's an existential nightmare. And it's very silly.
Or: The Bachelor loses his marbles. Haruspex helps him pick them up, one by one.

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
He kept to his own path, his own work, certain that the only reason that other Dankovsky in the other timeline had failed so utterly was because Burakh hadn’t been playing fair but now he is the one with the power, so how could he fail?
Very easily, apparently.

Summary
“You keep doing this,” he says, accusing.
Artemy doesn’t look away, eyes chasing the faintest movement of Daniil’s, as though wanting to pin him in place like a beetle. “Doing what.”
Daniil’s gloved hand moves as if on its own accord, and traces a line up his throat, jaw, the side of his face and ear. To map him out, commit to memory. Ascertain that he’s real. That he’s here.
Daniil whispers, “Bringing me back.”
Or: Daniil learns to just live.
