Summary
“Are you not in want of a name, then? A way to be known in this world that will keep you when everyone else fades?”
Hands frame his face, the light chill of them cooling his fever. Tempering him from inferno to candle.
“Who else knows me but you? I called myself Victor, not knowing the difference between what was you and what was myself. And you affirmed it, that first day. Affirmed it again when it was mine to return to you as we sat locked in ice and our own thinning malice. Perhaps I longed for a different name, once, but that longing faded when the old man called me friend, and I could be that. When others called me demon, inhuman, monster, and I could protect myself as they expected me to. When you called for Maman, and I could answer.”
