    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.

    Summary

    Summary

    Then Aventurine raises his head and, with a taunting smile, asks: “Why? Afraid of something, Ratio?” He pitches his voice up, breathy with mock excitement. “Am I your first?”

    “No and no.” Veritas closes his eyes in an impressive show of patience. “If you could be transparent for one second, convince me that you are truly and completely on board with—“

    “Am I not always transparent?” Aventurine laughs as he pushes away the hands on him. “Exacting as always, doctor. Fine then. You have full permission to fuck me. In fact, I’d be in your debt — how does that sound?”

    Ratio and Aventurine are trapped in a box with only one way out.

    Summary

    Zhongli forgot his wallet.

    It is a shame that, as per Snezhnayan etiquette, Ajax was going to pay for the two of them anyway.

    Debts are always good for business.

    Summary

    “Could you tell me exactly what is troubling you?”

    Aventurine makes a vague gesture. “Bad dreams. You’re probably familiar with it.”

    “The touch of the Nihility affects everyone differently. Until I know your exact symptoms, I won’t be able to treat you.”

    Aventurine closes his eyes, for a moment, and opens them. “Old memories,” he says, finally. “A lot sharper than they should be. Like I’m really there, watching it happen.”

    (After Penacony, Aventurine's been having some bad dreams. He starts seeing a Doctor of Chaos about it. Ratio gets roped in to help. Aventurine's not happy about any of it; and anyway, it's all pointless, isn't it?)
