Summary
Once upon a time, European naturalists received from skin traders a bird specimen with the most exquisite plumage, but without wings nor legs. They thought it was born in the heavens and took flight through miracles, that it lived off dews and will never touch the ground until the day it died. They named it the “bird-of-paradise.”
Turned out it was because local hunters thought the Europeans were only interested in the fancy feathers and hacked off the wings and legs when they taxidermied the dead bird.

Summary
Sam glanced over the mottled bruises and thick scars wrapping around his torso, accompanied by a hollow stomach and protruding ribs. Dried blood coated his side, spilled from a large gash in his abdomen. Tremors ran up his spine, making him fight so hard to sit still under Sam’s hands. His tearful eyes refused to make contact, like he was afraid of what would follow if he did.
Like this, he didn’t seem so scary. Just… fragile, like tempered glass beneath the threat of a nail.
Or: Sam stumbles across an injured and fearful man in the middle of the night, one month after Triskelion. After bringing him back to his apartment to treat his wounds, he realizes just who — what — he's brought into his home.
