   Summary

   Caleb watches. Calculates cost, and what can be borne, and what will be left after. Hopes that the Nein will forgive him. Hopes, too, that they arrive soon enough for that to matter.

   "You run from it," Trent is saying, gentle, "but there is always a home for you here. Say the word, and it will be yours."

   Caleb does not make it free at the end of the Vergessen heist. Trent offers him a choice.
