    Summary

    Rose Lalonde used to be a popular author, but she stopped working on her flagship series and released a couple of mediocre novels. Roxy is a runaway teenager living on the streets and pick-pocketing for sustenance. When they meet, Rose is intrigued and offers to let Roxy stay at her manor indefinitely. Roxy accepts the offer just to get off the streets, but starts falling for the moody author. She just can’t shake off the feeling Rose is just using her.

    As she becomes more familiar with both Rose and the people around her, Roxy learns things, both about herself and Rose. Not all of them are pleasant.

    “So, uh. Pretty fucking gay, huh?” you manage. 

    “Majorly. Fucking, homoerotic as shit,” he says, and leans closer.

    “Good kiss, though?”
     
    “Dude, it's us. We only do shit bad on purpose,”

    Summary

    YOU — “I really wanted it, Kim.” You sound desperate. “I was trying to get it right so hard. I’m sorry.”

    RHETORIC — The s whistles in your lips, and the word is acrid in your mouth as you say it. It doesn’t make you feel better.

    KIM KITSURAGI — He looks out through the window. It doesn’t face the sky, it’s only the obscured vision of the small alley. “I don’t doubt you wanted it, detective.”

    EMPATHY [Challenging: Success] — He’s not sure he has the words—or better, he has them, but he’s afraid they sound too clinical, too palliative. He’s not sure what you need right now.

    KIM KITSURAGI — “That’s not how anything works, unfortunately.”

    HALF LIGHT [Challenging: Failure] — What does he know about how things work? About how you work?

    YOU — “You don’t understand, Kim.” There’s something wet in your face again. “I don’t think I’ve *wanted* to stop before.” You wipe your cheeks with the back of your hand. “Jean said—did you know? Apparently I said to him—’I don’t want to get better. I want to get worse’. If this is what wanting to get better gets me—what’s the point?”

    (Or, Harry plays some board games, relapses, gets shot and adopts a cat, not necessarily in that order.)
