    Summary

    “You ain’t gonna leave me, Ray?” he murmurs.

    The only answer is the wind in the trees. Someday soon he’s going to step off his porch and walk and walk, and he’s going to slow to the perfect stop and he’ll be there, Ray, and the Long Walk will have two winners. He can do it. Someday soon he’ll get it.

    ———

    Peter McVries, in the aftermath.

    Summary

    “Anyone ever tell you you’re a funny guy, Pete?”

    “Oh, all my life. A real comedian.”

    This was a lie. People had called you a lot of things. Only Ray ever said you were funny.

    “Funniest guy I know,” Ray chuckled. You could hear his grin. It was nice. 

    It was nice to have Ray Garraty with you, even like this. Even if it meant you were just crazy.

    Summary

    Ash just wanted Eiji Okumura’s attention.

    He couldn’t justify it, couldn’t unravel the logic of why he always craved the older boy’s dark eyes on him. Ash had spent most of his life being the centre of the show; the disgusting old men in Golzine’s club, the patchwork of gang members who followed his every move like he was a messiah. Even simple passerby seemed to watch him like they were cataloging something glamorous, something other worldly.

    He always hated the attention he drew, and yet—he would do anything for Eiji to look at him, to focus on him, to stay with him just a little bit longer.

    [Ash's need and Eiji's unconditional love, in four snapshots.]

    Summary

    The beast stared at him. Its teeth were still bared, but Clark had the dim sense that its—its heart wasn't quite in that snarl, not anymore.

    And then those red glittering eyes closed, and it muttered, as if to itself, "Unbelievable."
