    Summary

    Yes, it's still them. It's still just them, yet now that he knows what the look in Suguru's eyes is as he's falling apart, out of pleasure, out of adoration for him — everything feels different. Everything, everything as in the way the air enters his lungs and the way the world is colored.

    "Where..." Suguru starts, still thumbing at his lip "Where did this come from, Satoru?"

    Satoru wants to laugh, but doesn't.

    Where did this come from? From something written into the stars, probably. From stardust and from the sea, the sky and the sun and the moon. It came from the same place wind comes from.

    Satoru shrugs. "I dunno. Feels right, doesn't it?"

    Summary

    She thinks he feels the same draw she does. An intellectual fascination, of course, for the only other person who can match them. But a sexual one too. It comes with the territory, she thinks, she’s never been truly attracted to a man who couldn’t match her for brains. She never tries to hide it from him – feels no shame in it at all, in fact. He’s handsome and familiar, with a consistent solidity to him that appeals to her after the slippery, whippet-thinness of Benny. Beth is a person with a bad habit of clinging onto the familiar whether it’s good for her or not. She’s been watching him on screens and in pictures since she stole her very first copy of Chess Review; she knows his face better than most men in her life. And, anyway, this can’t be worse for her than the pills.
