    Summary

    Renoir leaned more heavily on his cane, drifting, almost dream-like, towards the music’s source. He recognized this particular record. It’d been Verso's final birthday gift to his mother, a recording of his own design. His son’s words haunted him: in case his travels took him away from the manor.

    He half-expected to find his wife slumped in one of the armchairs, expression faraway, tinged with all the melancholy that so often categorized her moods these days. The delicate swish of fabric was wholly unexpected. Renoir lingered in the doorway, watching Aline lead their youngest across the floor in a slow waltz.

    Summary

    "“Love thy neighbour”, saith Our Lord, And I took it to heart. I started to fulfil his word, At least in the southern part.”

    "God’s teeth," Henry laughed, a deep belly ache starting to form.

    "A knight in battle attire got into bed with his squire. Instead of conquering forts, they played with each other’s swords.”

    --

    Henry finds 'The Book' under Hans's bed.

    Summary

    "We're no longer the people we were. We’re shadows of who we used to be, strangers who just can’t stop hurting each other."

    The first time their world ended, it was in a fire. They were in hell for 67 years, and they came out of it a different Renoir and a different Aline. He had promised her "je t’aimerai toujours"—could he keep it?

    Summary

    He wanted nothing more than to pull her into his arms and melt into her but he heard her message in the Canvas loud and clear. He would wait for her to approach at her own terms and time.

    Aline and Renoir after exiting the Canvas. Just because something is broken doesn't mean it's not good anymore.
