Summary
“'Papa, Candlewick is back!' Pinocchio said gleefully.
Geppetto turned to face the child in the corner. He was still slumped over, greasy strands of dark hair falling forward onto his face.
'The Podestà’s boy…?'
The boy looked up, eyes alight with a rage that surprised Geppetto. His face had thinned with age, but the rest of his features were all the same—horse teeth and a snub nose.
He had always found Candlewick an odd name for a child."
—
Or, how Candlewick slowly makes his way into Geppetto's family.

Summary
“I want you dead,” she said cheerfully.
He could not help it. He chuckled. The last time he had done that around her, the sound had been low and rough with smoke. It had only been two weeks, but at this point, he could not associate that laugh with himself more than the feeling of not having a bullet wound in his body. It only made him hate her more.
“What’s new?” he said at last.

Summary
She was like nothing Ben had ever seen. Her hair was the vibrant color of coral, but with an impossible shine to it. The sun, almost, but that was wrong for the sun had no life in its ceaseless burning and, opposed to that, the woman seemed to glow with life. Burning with life.
And she had two legs.
There wasn’t anything abnormal about that as most humans, all humans as far as Ben were aware, had these limbs to aid their lives through walking and jumping. Just as fish had their tails to swim through the dark, cold depths of the ocean. But, as he watched her climb out to the edge of the rocky coast, skirt hiked up to let her feet and calves dangle into the foamy water, Ben desperately wished he had the former as well.
