Summary
The universe is so much larger and infinitely more confusing than we can possibly understand. If an ignorant god realizes your place is elsewhere, what do you do other than accept the kindness you've been gifted? But that's easier said than done. Especially when a man with eyes like gentle water and his alien best friend keep trying to convince Simon that he's safe and all the violence is behind him. All he can do now is wait for it all to be ripped away just like every other nice thing he's ever had. The Butcher cannot be loved.
An aching man, convinced he'd never see another human in his life, finds someone who shares his pain and anger, but not in the ways he expected. This stranger is distrustful, constantly watching corners and walking into every conversation like he anticipates a death sentence with each breath. Adrian tells him to be patient, but that was one of many virtues Ryland was never gifted with. How he aches to understand the anguish hiding in the haunted heterochromatic eyes of the mutated man from Mars.
