    Summary

    “Emmrich, since we let our relationship become known, no less than three Watchers have come up to me and said it’s their duty to let me know you have quite the past.”

    “Rook…”

    She walks her fingers up the buttons on his shirt and Emmrich does not move a muscle. Purposely keeping her voice low, she says, “Reading between the lines, I’ve reason to believe that you were a bit of a slut when you were my age.”

    Summary

    Finally, she sees them: the lower frequencies of the Fade. They are visible just at the edge of the Lighthouse bubble, just before the device nullifies them. They are slower than a heartbeat, but faster than the tick of a clock, a steady oscillation that she realizes matches his own.

    He is fucking her to the pulse of the Fade itself.

    Emmrich finds his lover, Clara Ingellvar, waiting for him on his balcony. While talking about the Fade, Emmrich helps Clara find her pleasure.

    Summary

    “There are no illusions here,” Emmrich told her. He was halfway down the braid now, fingers weaving soothingly through her hair. “Not between us, my dearest one.”

    Shirin let him finish the braid in silence, though words, kept back, thrummed in the tension of her shoulders.

    “I’m just tired of it, y’know?” she asked, seeming to speak more to her reflection than to him. Anger crackled under her quiet. “Cleaning up the so-called gods’ mistakes, seeing innocent people pay for those mistakes over and over again.”

    Or: Emmrich imagines a future for himself and Rook, and Rook tries to imagine that future too.
