   Summary

   Post-canon.

   Months after emperor Ashravan has risen from the ashes, Gaotona falls ill. Affection for his mentor compels him to flush Wan ShaiLu from hiding, and it is affection that keeps Shai by their side.

   As the weeks pass, Ashravan comes to understand how much it means to bear witness to the end of someone’s life. And how much regard he truly has, for his little thief in the night.
