Summary
"Hunter stared up in cold terror, blood still dripping down his chin, at the chunk of flesh Belos was holding up. His tongue. His uncle had cut out his tongue.
Belos turned it side to side, examining it. Then his sharp gaze landed on Hunter. 'Don't look at me that way, boy. This tongue was a privilege. A privilege you abused. Thus a privilege that has been revoked.'"Or, being the Golden Guard is much more difficult when you can't speak.

Summary
Their masks laid with them. And that hurt more than anything else. Their individuality was tarnished with the piles of skeletons, but the masks created insult. The haunting figure of the golden guard following them to death, unable to wear away like everything else.
And in the middle, sat the smallest golden guard. Whose body was too young to be thrown with the rest. Whose body would never be thrown with the rest. It was his little figure that gave Darius the ability to move again. Tunnel vision. He swallowed his throw up, blinked away his tears, breathed out his anger. Hunter needed him, nothing else mattered.
or Hunter finds the bodies of the previous Golden Guards and can't bring himself to leave them. Darius tries to pull him out.

Summary
A lot of things happen after Hunter and Darius reunite. Some nice, some not so nice but most of them comforting.
(or Hunter, Darius and Eber, and the aftermath of their reunion)-
“What I wanted to say is yes, I want to! And also I’ve thought a lot about it actually, I just never imagined…”“That we might offer? Surely, it must have passed your mind at least once?" Darius asked but as soon as he saw Hunter's hesitation, his face fell, "Hunter, by the Titan, don’t tell me…”
“It just…it passed my mind, of course it did! So many times but, this isn’t a sewing lesson! In and out, you have to put up with me once a week at most! But this? It would be me in your hair all the time. Well not your hair exactly...your goop? Whatever, sorry, I am not saying this right again…”

Summary
Did you know that you could die from drinking too much water?
Darius didn’t, not until Hunter, in the middle of another before-school breakfast where Darius was flipping eggs and hissing at the thought of having to bring Hunter to school again because some bag of shit had sent Darius a fucking hand-written death threat on Hunter’s life. Why? Because they didn’t think that he’d answered for his crimes as the Golden Guard. And Eda’s got her hands full, so he’s not going to ask her to pick up Hunter on her way to whatever’s her semi-illegal, somewhat-morally-questionable scheme of the day. And he’s sending Hunter to school because Hunter loves going to school and doesn’t know about the threats on his life.
Darius ponders the nature of surviving on a lazy day where his biggest responsibility is delivering and picking up his son from school.
