    Summary

    "I stay in the house, move the furniture about
    Try and control what I can
    And feel the world slip through my hand
    You can have it all
    You can have it all"

    Bolaire and Occtis keep the secret knowledge of unworn masks.

    Summary

    Alogar could already be dead by now.

    Thaisha is digging through a linen closet for extra blankets though because Lady Aranessa Royce needs somewhere to sleep. Because her last host had their skull removed. Because the Palazzo Davinos has apparently already been swept clean of everything but memory. Julien Davinos stands next to her, still covered in gore, but his freshly cleaned hands are held at the ready for the stack of deep red quilts she manages to unearth. The blankets have been perfumed with lavender and sage from the family herb garden, and some of the dried leaves have escaped their sachets and scattered across the stitching. It's fine. They’ll do.

    Summary

    “All I’m saying is, I can tell that story isn’t a silly made-up thing, not entirely, not even mostly. What I can’t tell is whether or not it’s an analogy for something that happened out there, or something that really happened.”

    "Of course it really happened."

    There was a rat in Misty's swimming pool, that morning before the doomed flight. (A character study of Misty Quigley and her motivations.)

    Summary

    Far below, Kendall could hear the waves, trapped in an unbroken rhythm of crest and collapse. "Be water," Kendall’s therapist had said, and like water, Kendall did not sleep.
