    Summary

    The final companion piece to Ochre, Resin, and Light.

    In the wake of desperate pleas and heavy admissions, the balance between what is, was, and could be, has never felt so precarious.
    Stede must decide whether he wants to pursue a relationship so soon after leaving his marriage, and what it is he really wants to do with his life when a dazzling invitation arrives in the mail.

    Izzy is forced to admit that he might not want this dalliance with Stede to end, and navigate between the truth and wonder of who he might be outside his strictly enforced framework. What price he'd be willing to pay in order to reconcile softness in his own heart after a brutal reminder of why those walls were built in the first place.

    Edward is searching for meaning in the onslaught of more and more powerful visions affecting them all as they bleed through the cracks into everyday life. They are becoming real, and he worries 'real' might actually mean 'dangerous'.
    Still, something is missing from the puzzle until a third painting presents itself as a gift from a strange, unknown presence.
