    Summary

    Maggots burrowed into the crow’s wet innards—its delicately encased lungs, the firm rubber of its heart, the string-like tunnels of intestines. As a swarm of flies buzzed in Regulus’ bedroom, that was when he heard it. A din of voices overlapping.

    …you know how to say thank you, don’t…
    …there we go…open for…just like…
    …think good little boys…house of God…all messy?…
    …lovely like this…such a…

    They spoke as an auditory palimpsest. Voice after voice, almost indistinguishable, as if it was a single force speaking.

    A sibylline premonition slicing through time. A crow, giving warning.

    Regulus Black goes missing for forty days.

    He comes back different. Wrong.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
