    Summary

    He startles when he sees a string of blood drifting in the water toward him. His breath quickens, and he realizes he’s gasping for air. He closes his eyes, squeezing them shut tightly. “It's not real, Phainon,” he tells himself out loud to fill the silence.

    When he opens his eyes again, there are bodies floating in the bath with him. Some are face-down, some look in his direction, confused. He knows these people, who they used to be. Before—
