    Summary

    It wasn’t obvious at first. The person was almost entirely hidden under the corner part of the trellis, but it was the little red glow of a cigarette being drawn on that caught Tim’s eye.

    Summary

    “…You want me to get close to them,” Gerard says, slowly.

    “In a manner of speaking,” Gertrude replies.

    Gerard pauses, considering her words. It takes him a minute to even begin to formulate a response but he manages. Incredulously, he asks, “Are you telling me you want me to try and seduce the Distortion?”

    Summary

    "So the Archivist ate Jon," Melanie starts, eyes fixed on weak lightbulb so they won't fall on the scalpel in her hand. "That's what you said."

    "I said I am Jon. And that I ate him." The Archivist turns a page, not even looking up. "Metaphysically, for the most part."

    "Sure. Whatever." She exhales out the urge to swing the scalpel in an arc, to follow through like a conductor until it meets skin. It would be so easy. "So if...if the Slaughter eats me. I'll Become. Something. Or. Or it Becomes me."

    "Not exactly." The Archivist taps the rocky floor, glancing over at her. She doesn't dare tear her eyes from the lightbulb, not with the scalpel in her hand. "The Slaughter might eat you. But to really Become, you'd have to eat the Slaughter back."

    Jon wakes up four months early. This is not necessarily a good thing.

    Summary

    The voice gets under his skin. Is it pleasing or terrifying? Inside his head or out? Is it even real, or is his still-human brain just cobbling monster-sounds into something he can comprehend?

    It’s impossible to get out of his head, whether literal or not.

    Doesn’t matter, though, because the answer Michael gives is a terrible one, and ends the same way: Gertrude could protect herself, Jon can’t, and he’s going to die for her sins.
