Summary
Stefano's abundance of time in STEM did not alter the fact that his art remained a sweet, difficult and nerve-racking task. Neither the standards of his own imagination nor the considerable advantages which accompanied them made this burden easier. Due to the limited supply of people that Mobius was willing to put into grey terrain, the selection for acceptable subjects had considerably diluted and true grandeur was now as difficult to find as a barley grain in a mountain full of needlework. The agents of Mobius had long turned out to be a scarce diet for a constantly growing appetite like his own. What Stefano craved for were the means to perfection. But perfection usually did not come around the corner like movies and songs made it ought to be.
It was all the more uplifting for the photographer when he occasionally found a stone between the human coals which could be polished into a splendid representative of its class.
That said stone turned out to be a former cop of the KCPD and the father of little Lily, the STEM’s heart and lung, made the whole thing just more perfect in its irony.
