    Summary

    Ever since your men tackled me to the ground and sent me to spend my last few days on Earth in an induced coma, my soul or whatever has been floating around the base like a one-man production of A Christmas Carol. Welcome to your own personal haunting, Eva Stratt.

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    Xia Fei grins, unaware. A sour feeling curdles deep in the cavity of Liu Xiao’s chest in a slow killing. “Did you miss me that much?”

    I did. Liu Xiao wants to say, but doesn’t. He stops — hesitates. Then: replaces them with a practiced smile. The words die a brutal death at the back of his throat by the lined firing squad of his teeth. “Not at all. I saw you yesterday, after all."

    // or: In this one, Liu Xiao finds himself no longer a stranger.

    Summary

    In the dimness, he takes note of the looseness in Xia Fei’s posture, his head lilting with an invisible wind; a wreathe of distant light highlighting the blonde of his hair, and the pupils of his eyes blown wide. Then he blinks, trying to remember himself maybe, and fishes a pack of cigarettes out of his pockets.

    Liu Xiao quirks a brow as Xia Fei’s eyes ghost over him, somewhere else.

    “You smoke?”

    A fragment of the night, and a fragment of the comedown.

    Summary

    “Well, I have to tell myself something to keep my mind off the fact that you never know when to stop talking.”

    “Yeah, because you don’t talk at all. You lay back and, oh I don’t know, maybe you think of England.”

    “Maybe I might say something about how to fuck me better if only for once you’d shut the fuck up—

    Fyodor wonders and wonders and wonders. That's pretty much all he does here, actually.
