    Summary

    Шрамы покрывали большую часть её тела спереди. Предплечья, плечи, грудь, живот, бедра. Выцветшие белые полосы, тёмные, почти лиловые бугры. Кое-где Чуя могла различить иероглифы: «вишня», «закат», «прощай». Как будто Дазай записывала на своём теле историю шифром, понятным ей одной.

    Шрамы перекрывали друг друга как строки в небрежном черновике. Некоторые Чуя помнила. Шрам от косы старого босса, прорезавший грудь наискось. Вздувшийся на бедре с неровными краями — первый раз, когда Чуе пришлось накладывать ей скобы в каком-то дерьмовом мотеле, где их обложили со всех сторон, как затравленных лис. Заживал он скверно.

    Боевых ран было мало, Дазай обладала удивительным даром проскальзывать сквозь пальцы как шёлковая лента.

    Summary

    Kirsh’s gaze never wavered. Eyes narrowing slightly, scanning, parsing, cataloguing data Joe had no way to hide. Silence stretched, suffocating.

    Joe’s stomach twisted. He knew the verdict coming, clinical and merciless, the lung was failing. He required intervention. He could not let Wendy hear it, not now, not when she shone so brightly.

    Kirsh’s expression remained unreadable. His gaze dipped, precise, to Joe’s ribs. A beat. Then back up.

    “Humans are such… interesting creatures,” he said softly. Words not for Wendy, not for anyone but him.

    Joe’s jaw tightened. “What?”

    -

    After his prosthetic lung transplant, Joe hides the searing pain that tears through him with every breath. He endures in silence, terrified that Prodigy will cut him open again and strip away his control, desperate to remain present for Wendy. But his fragile mask falters when Wendy brings him into Kirsh’s path, and worse, into the relentless curiosity of Boy Kavalier. Under Kirsh’s cold focus and Boy’s predatory fascination, Joe is forced to confront the truth he’s fought to bury, the lung is failing, the pain is unbearable, and his endurance may not be enough to keep his sister safe.

    Summary

    Affection is for those who are prisoners of their animalistic behaviors, and certainly not for geniuses and advanced synthetics.

    ( — Or Atom Eins ponders the need to give Kirsh the shovel talk as Boy Kavalier's stand-in father. )
