Summary
Unspoken things grow in the cave of Shane’s chest, lapping over with new mineral layers the way a cluster of particles swells into crystal over eons. He knows that’s where the power comes from, from the relentless tug of the secret between hope and fear, evolving, expanding, fueled by the stewing uncertainty.
He’s only making it worse for himself. At this rate, if he ever confesses to Rozanov, there’s no end to what it might destroy.
Or: Old secrets are dangerous things—strange, unpredictable magic that Shane has never been skilled at controlling. He's spent years swallowing the words that could eviscerate his life as he knows it.
