    Summary

    As an adult, he could understand the neurobiology of addiction. The compounds and processes through which addiction develops. Festers. He could understand that addiction was a disease that did not discriminate. He could understand that while addiction did not discriminate, doctors did and do and will. That his father was far from being patient zero in the opioid epidemic but even further from being its last victim.

    That those mountains with white pines and meandering creeks were home to pill mills.

    Summary

    “What exactly did you want my feedback on?” Lan Zhan asks, bending one knee to cock a hip and putting an arch in his back. He laces his voice with just a hint of innuendo. Cobalt is never too excited about anything, so it wouldn’t do to seem too eager or too horny.

    Gorgeous Newbie inhales, squaring his shoulders, and blurts, “Would you watch my stand-up routine and tell me if it needs anything?”

    Lan Zhan blinks. The music is loud in here, like it is everywhere in the club. Surely he misheard. “What?”

    “I have a stand-up routine,” Gorgeous Newbie repeats, more confidently this time. “I would really appreciate it if you could watch it and give me feedback.”

    Or: What happens in the private room, stays in the private room... Until it doesn't.

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.
