    Summary

    If hope is the thing with feathers, I am the thing with legs. Muscle, marrow, movement. Nothing against hope - they’re great, actually, and there is a buoyancy to their work - it's light and loose and tilted towards the sky. It’s just that I move, shake, force. My work rattles, unsettles what was settled.

     

    A man dies in Berlin. He bleeds out from a barely there stab wound in his thigh. Not long after, a woman comes to life in London - self inflicted stab wound in the same exact spot.

     

    People think my work is specific - it’s not! There is a surprising amount of wiggle room, plenty of space for…creative interpretation. Example: Oksana (Villanelle) Astankova and Eve Polastri (née Park) are to save each other. That was the memo, verbatim, that appeared on my desk some 20 months ago. Yes, I have a desk. Yes, we use paper. It’s ephemeral and magical and it kind of just fizzles into nothing after I’ve read it, but yes, you are right to be surprised that we haven’t gone digital or telekinetic or something more mystical. I digress.

    Summary

    Scrolling past Eve’s pinned tweet - something about her new movie, out soon! - she looks at the most recent tweet, from a few seconds ago.

    'Sorry guys. Apparently I shouldn’t like thirst tweets on my public twitter.'

    Villanelle grins. Quote tweets it, with;

    'Should I worry about your private?'

    -

    Eve is an actress, Villanelle is a musician, and they're both kind of in love with eachother.

    Summary

    “Rome was part of the plan. The shooting was not. You had to think we had betrayed you. It was the only way we could convince The Twelve you were no longer an asset.”

    *

    When Kenny is mysteriously killed, Carolyn reapproaches Eve with a new mission: to take down The Twelve once and for all.

    Enter one angry Eve, still reeling from having been shot and left for dead in Rome, a tired, disgruntled Konstantin, a matter-of-fact Carolyn, and -

    “Hi, Eve.”
