    Summary

    In the middle of it all unfurls an untold world. As he marches, Aspen tramples over ledgers, notes, maps. On his desk, the mess continues. Postcards of places beyond the monastery walls. Books regarding forbidden theory. Unfamiliar names peeking through unfamiliar envelopes. Memorabilia from old friends, ex-lovers. Blurry photos starring him, two related women, and a consistently teared-away face. Past, past, and more past.

    If nothing else, the man has history. Even when they met, long ago during a lumber mishap, Times felt his renown. His du jour. An air suggesting he’s been everywhere, done everything, but never for long. What he’s been up to, he’ll never tell. His fleeting endeavours lie buried beneath polite smiles and practiced charisma. Not quite a persona. Not quite authenticity, either.

    Aspen's always going through more than he lets on. Times helps in the only way they know how.
