    Summary

    Since the beginning of the 18th century the numbers of […] wolves decreased rapidly. […] The total elimination of the wolf, considered as an extremely dangerous and harmful animal, was the official goal. [..] The wolf vanished from […] Austria. […] In the region of Mühlviertel, on the estate Stift-Schlägl, 42 wolves were shot between 1635–1746 […] The last shot animals are recorded from the year 1854 for Upper and Lower Austria (locality Königswiesen and Gross Gerungs respectively).

    The very last historic reference to the wolf in Upper Austria […] is from the year 1870.

    Summary

    Distantly, Twilight realizes this will be the last time they ever do this.

    A decade’s worth of training to control his emotions barely silences that thought. If he starts counting his lasts with his family, he’ll drive himself mad.

    One more day, one more hour, one more moment. As if anything less than a lifetime could ever be enough.

    -------

    One week before the end of Operation Strix, Twilight’s conviction wavers.

    Summary

    The first time Yor and Loid slept next to each other it was out of necessity.

    The second time, it was accidental.

    By the third time, it had become a habit.

    Or, Twilight is clearly losing his edge. He keeps falling asleep next to his fake wife. And even when he wakes — he swears —it feels like he’s still dreaming.

    Summary

    Instead, she asks, “And what does this mean for us?”

    He thinks she means his ill-timed apology but then, as he looks into her eyes and sees his own reflected back, he realizes that she means this. The greater this, the this that is the space between them where truths and lies mingle into an unsalvageable mess. And, well, that’s more complicated than a misspoken apology, a reflective gunshot and matching bruises, isn’t it?
