Summary
“I didn’t want you to see,” Viktor says, as if it were the simplest thing.
“See what? What could we possibly have to hide from each other anymore?” But Viktor does not answer - nor does he appear to have any intention of doing so. Jayce presses, “Were you afraid it was going to make me angry? Or sad?”
There comes another long silence. Viktor tilts his head to look out of the rondel window, inviting slate shadows to inhabit the grooves of his face; his gaze is distant, drawn to the sky, as if he would like to drift off the point.
“It wouldn’t make you happy.”
In the end, two souls become one - until they don’t.
Alive and once more his own person, Jayce finds himself in the coastal city of Nashramae. There he must grapple with the indolence of an aimless life and his complicated feelings towards Viktor: who, after everything, pushed him away, but left the shell of his presence to linger in Jayce’s heart like a curse.
