Summary
“I do not understand,” I say, anger flaring in me suddenly. “What do you want from me?”
“I want you to look at me. I—” His voice breaks, just barely. He clears his throat and looks at me straight. Brave. “I want you to look at me,”
My anger falters.
“All my life,” he chokes, looking at me helplessly. “That’s all I’ve wanted. But you have never. I cannot stand to see you with Tarsem or Ìpxea, or whoever else. I cannot stand it; I am selfish. I want to be awful to them.” He laughs, without humor, and looks down at his feet. “I thought I could just stay away. But then you almost die taking a bullet for us!”
I stare at him helplessly, my heart its own creature in my chest.
---Jun is many things: an orphaned boy, a capable hunter, a fine warrior. And, apparently, the sole object of Neteyam’s desires.
