Summary
Aventurine barks out a crude laugh, all sorts of grating and wrong even to his own ears, “And what do you know about wanting, Ratio? This want– it’s a crippling disease; it has created a great monstrosity in me. I’ve lived in its shadow for years, waiting for the day this madness will consume me– and maybe that day is upon me already. Maybe I have used up all my luck.”
“If you think of such a desire as fatal, then I am already a dying man,” Ratio murmurs, voice thick with resolve, as the doctor’s thumb traces the outline of his cheekbone with a tenderness he’s wholly undeserving of, “If this want were indeed as deadly as you claim it to be, then perhaps I am on the verge of breathing my last, and getting to have you like this will be the final nail in the coffin.”
Following the events of Penacony, the IPC sends both Aventurine and Ratio on a manhunt to dig out a drug kingpin responsible for creating and peddling a drug that preys on a person's specific desires.
Aventurine has the foresight to admit that that's going to be a big problem.
