Summary
“Whyever in the world would you be retiring? You’re barely thirty.”
“Extenuating circumstances,” Alhaitham says. “I wanted an opportunity to get my affairs in order.”
“Your affairs? What, are you—”
“I’m sick, Kaveh. Haven’t you noticed?”
“The coughing. Sure.” Kaveh swallows, then keeps talking like he didn’t just exhibit such an obvious nervous tell. “So, you’re sick. Is that any reason to upend your life? I understand needing to take the time to get better, but—”
“I am not going to get better. I am going to get worse, and then I am going to die,” Alhaitham says plainly.

Summary
Kaveh walked toward Alhaitham’s room and stopped. The door to what had once been his room but was given to an archon pretending to be a little girl was open.
The pile of stuffed animals was gone, including the giant red vulture named Dook-Dook and the large round plushie of the Golden-Winged King and the long plushie of Yanwang Dijun.
There were no clothes in the laundry basket, no clothes in the drawers when he opened them, no trinkets on the shelves, no books, no pieces of art from daycare. The room was a blank slate, with a bed and a very generic blanket and set of sheets on it, as if it hadn’t been lived in for months.
As if Nahida hadn’t existed at all.
He should be happy to see everything returning back to normal, but all Kaveh felt was empty.
----
It's a long road to recovery, but Kaveh isn't sure that there's any forgiveness left.

Summary
People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.
There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.
Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

Summary
Alhaitham’s constellation finds its home on the bony edge of her shoulder, where he supports her when she sways. Six dots in a shade of turquoise and a hawk mid-flight.
“My little bird,” his grandmother had said to him as they admired the design, heads pressed together in the mirror. “My little hawk, I always knew you would grow to be strong.”
