    Summary

    "Wolfwood barely feels the cigarette leave his lips as Vash opens his mouth against his and kisses him deep. He’s soft still, even now while he takes whatever’s left of Wolfwood, which isn’t much of anything after all’s said and done. A bundle of nerves, a sooty heart, and an aftertaste of ash you want to brush off your teeth or wash back with the sting of cheap whiskey."

    Vash and Wolfwood share intricate rituals over the years.

    Summary

    “That’s quite the scowl you’re wearing,” the bartender says, the same dirty sunshine casting itself across the bridge of his nose. “Your drink ain’t to your liking?”

    “Drink’s fine,” he replies, and neither of them mention that it’s only half empty. “But I’m hoping you can help me with something.” He hates having to get to this part—in any other trip around this rock, it’s nothing but noise. It’s more work avoiding information. And yet, no one so far had said anything, had known anything— “I’m looking for someone.”

    Around him, the story is taking its traditional shape against his shoulders, creaking at the edges like the premonition of a storm through the woods. It doesn’t fit him, he thinks. It hasn’t fit him in a long time.

    Nicholas places his sunglasses on the bartop, arching one eyebrow as the bartender watches him, glancing toward his glass of watered-down whiskey. The ice had melted an hour ago. “The town’s a big place. I’m guessing you haven’t had any luck so far.”

    “No,” Nicholas tells him, pushing aside his glass. “But he’s hard to miss. He’s blonde, hair like needles, with a doofy face, probably some shades he wears. Usually wears red. Causes problems by breathing."

    Summary

    “How many times have I figured it out?” Nick asks again. He grabs at Vash’s coat.

    Vash doesn’t meet his eyes. “Every time.”

    “Then you know what I’m going to say.”

    “I do.”

    “Do I die every time?”

    Vash bites his lip and finally looks up to meet Nick’s eyes. “Yes.”

    Vash remembers. Wolfwood doesn't.

    Summary

    He hates the way Vash is looking at him, the disbelief mixed with hope. He doesn’t deserve to have Vash gazing at him at all, not after what he’s done. “You really think that?” Vash whispers, and Wolfwood equally hates the fact he’d ever believe otherwise. “I’m helping make a difference?”

    He forces himself to meet Vash’s eyes again, keeping his voice as measured as he can. “It’s what you do, isn’t it?” he says, and there’s a hoarseness to it. “It’s what you always do.”

    Having accepted his death, Wolfwood instead struggles with the fact he survived and is forced to find a new purpose. It takes a village to raise a child, but a repenting priest and an immigrant space explorer to raise a whole orphanage.
