    Summary

    You’ve always been restless—that’s the delicate word for it. After a violent 'incident' lands you in a polished sanatorium, you expect pills and platitudes, not a physician whose darkness feels like a mirror. What follows is a dangerous method: two kindred hungers circling cure, ruin, and something that tastes like mercy.

    In the hush that follows he studies the invisible cage around you—the narrow world you’ve foraged from shame and appetite. How small have you been made? he wonders. What are the bars made of? Behind your venom he sees a creature trapped with its own claws, skin scored raw from the inside. The urge to reach you flickers like a hand pressed to glass.
