    Summary

    ‘Tsu’Tey.’ Jake stood there, frozen between wanting to argue and wanting to kneel beside him and hold him so hard he couldn’t drift away. The tools in Jake’s hands felt suddenly obscene. He set them down slowly—placing a weapon on sacred grounds.

    ‘Tsu'Tey—baby,’ Jake said again, softer this time, voice cracking around the edges. ‘Talk to me.’

    Tsu'Tey's ear flicked.

    OR, Correction without love is cruel. Tsu’Tey understood that not all uniltìrantokx and sawtute were bad; he learned this fact after war, after dying, and after having children. But after losing his eldest son, that same cruel pain took him again to those unimaginable places that he never thought he would have to return to.
