Summary
In the perfect, unbroken quiet that follows the knocking, the rattling of her punctured lungs working to take a breath is almost deafening.
“We see you.”
She speaks low and grating, her voice buzzing with a thousand echoes, vibrating through the holes in her throat like something else is pushing air out of her.
You have never felt as afraid as you do hearing that voice. If she still had an actual mouth to do it with, you’re sure she would be smiling.
“So alone,” she rasps, and the thud of her palm against the door sends you lurching back in terror, and still she goes on, “You would never have to be alone, if you let us in.”
Martin encounters the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss. It doesn't go well. -

Summary
«You know, we’re— there’s mistletoe, up there,» she says. He looks up, frowning — he hadn’t noticed, but now he can make out the green and red of it, stark against the white wooden arch over the stairs.
When he looks back down, she’s much closer than she was — closer even than they were on her bedroom floor, kneeling to see under the chair. He freezes where he stands, uncertain. She’s the same height as him, but she still goes up on her tiptoes, eyes fluttering closed as she presses her mouth to his.
Her lips are a little cracked, and a little wet. It’s over in the blink of an eye.

Summary
Time in the Lonely passes differently.
It might be more accurate to say it doesn’t pass at all, forever suspended in the grey light just after dawn breaks, when the world is coldest and most silent, the fog rolling in to curl around his ankles.
Martin knows he must have spent less than two hours on the beach. He knows a great many things – he knows the phone number of his mother’s care home by heart, despite it being as utterly useless before as it is now, and he knows Jon likes his tea just this side of too sweet even if it’s been over a year since he last made a cup for him. And so he knows that the stretch of time between Peter Lukas discarding him in the Lonely and Jon dragging him out of it was not possibly longer than one hundred and forty minutes at most, and even if he doesn’t Know it doesn’t matter, thank you, Jon, I’m aware of how time works.
Knowing doesn’t help, is the point.
In the aftermath of the Lonely, Martin starts baking again.Series

Summary
Her expression is wide open, thoughtful. His heart twinges sweetly at the sight of her lips, curled into a subdued version of her lopsided smile.
Jack isn’t a poet.
If he was, he’d be able to find better words to describe the way her hair burns against the slate-grey winter sky, dead branches threaded through it like dark, engorged veins. The subtle warmth of her body next to his, growing stronger every time their shoulders brush in passing. The white mist of her breath, thick and opaque like smoke.
He wants to hold her hand.
The next time their arms touch, he can feel the heat radiating from the back of her hands, curling around his wrist like a warning.
He doesn’t reach out.
It's too cold for a walk in the park. Jack doesn't actually mind. -

Summary
For the first week after she quits the Institute, Melanie doesn’t dream.
It’s been a long time since she last managed to sleep through a whole night without waking, terrified and gasping and snarling at shadows, her fingers curled tightly around the knife hidden under her pillow, the handle biting its carved indents into her skin. Holding it until it hurt – until she could barely tell the hilt apart from the aching flesh of her palm, her tongue thick with the taste of blood and bile.
It had felt safer that way.
Melanie has nightmares. It's inevitable, but she still wishes Georgie didn't have to deal with them.

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.)

Summary
HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — You’re never Harrier at work, just like you’re never Detective at home. You’re in trouble.
CHESTER MCLAINE: “Uh oh!” the sergeant singsongs from where he’s sitting with his feet up on his desk.
KIM KITSURAGI: “Oh, I have your attention now?” he asks. His tone sounds casual, almost friendly.
HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — It’s not either of those things.
