Summary
Five vignettes of Jon's life, captured at 1:17am.
A torchlight project, a shift of the tides, a new beginning, a phone call, something trembling on a knife-edge.

Summary
“Boots, Costa, Greggs, Leon, Waitrose, M&S, Caffe Nero, Pret, Prezzo, Starbucks, UpperCrust, Wasabi, WHSmith. Also something called Giraffe Stop? I don’t know what that is, but it says “Eat in or Take Out” on the logo so my superior deductive skills tell me that’s an option too. O-or, we could just hope that there’s a buffet service on the train? I’m… I’m not being told either way, ha – and even if I was, I don’t think even the Eye knows for sure whether the announcements are true or not –”
“Stop,” says Martin, in a voice that puts Jon in mind of hearing the television play from the next room.
'I don’t think I can,' he thinks, rather desperately. 'I’m not very good at this bit.'
***
Jon and Martin take the 18:29 Avanti West Coast Service to Glasgow Central.

Summary
Somewhere Else, there is a revelation, and a conversation, and a realisation that has been a long time coming.
***
“God, of course it was burns, of course you got burned, it was an explosion for Christ’s sake, god how could I be so stupid –” he shoves his face into his hands, and groans loudly. Then he rips them away, as his eyes flash with further realisation. “That’s why you cover up all the time?”
“Of course.”
“Why didn’t you say? You didn’t mention it at all in those awkward ‘boundaries’ conversations early on. You just said, ‘obviously me being undressed is a no’ or something and moved on, I thought it was an ace thing!”
“Well I thought it was obvious!”
“It was not obvious, Jon.”

Summary
No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.
Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
