   Summary

   Jekyll had changed, he noticed.

   He was always first to notice when it came to Henry Jekyll.

   Why was he avoiding him? Why was he seeking out a strange, unknown, troglodytic man?

   Gabriel Utterson didn't know. He also didn't know why his heart twisted with torment when he imagined Jekyll with another man.

   ...

   a retelling of Jekyll and Hyde, except Utterson yearns with his whole heart for a relationship in a society where relations between men were forbidden.
