    Summary

    Arcade Gannon has been sold to Caesar. A simple thing, the betrayal of a lover. A nasty thing, the workings of the Legion. Sometimes comfort comes in the shape of a crucified man of dishonour. Sometimes there is no comfort at all.

    //

    Safe and sound, murderers walk the charred earth. Fancy themselves Gods, wash their humanity off when they pass the Colorado. Courier Six – Cassius as he calls himself here – is one of them.

    Arcade tries to banish the memory of a man who could’ve been more than an instrument of Caesar’s iron fist. Should’ve. Would’ve, maybe, if things had been different. Neither stupid nor cunning, neither bloodthirsty nor hopeless enough. Just a coward in the flesh. Hollow, yes, empty. Only space for himself in the ashen remnants of Cassius’ heart.
