    Summary

    The nightmare comes for him the old way—mean and sudden, like a hook in the dark.

    Kaz wakes choking on it.

    The room is wrong. The air smells like clean linen and rain instead of rot and river-sludge. For a breathless, terrible second, his mind insists this is a trick. He expects the press of bodies, the creak of a boat that never stops rocking. He expects Jordie’s weight. The stink of plague. The water.

    His fingers curl, grasping for a cane that isn’t there, for something solid enough to anchor him to the present—but the present won’t settle. The past surges up instead, sharp as broken glass.

    Don’t let go. Don’t—

    He drags in air through his teeth. It hurts. His heart is galloping, a traitor, pounding like it wants out of his chest. Sweat slicks his spine. His body is already braced for pain that hasn’t arrived yet.

    “Kaz?”

    ---
    Kaz Brekker wakes up from the recurring nightmare where he's once again sinking to the bottom of the canals, into a body ten years older, that has grown and progressed and healed and weathered. But the nightmare has reduced him to his former self, all that work he's done slipping away.

    Summary

    He slit the seal with his letter opener.

    The words inside were brief, rushed. 'The Wraith will soon dock at Ketterdam. Please have a healer ready on standby.'

    The signature was nothing but a mark—someone who had never written much in their life, or whose hand was shaking so violently they could barely force pen to paper.

    That was all.

    No elaboration. No flourish. No “Saints keep you, Kaz.”

    Not Inej.

    His pulse faltered for half a beat, then roared back, sharper, louder. Not Inej. She always wrote herself. Her hand was steady, her script precise, elegant in a way that reflected the discipline with which she lived.

     

    In which, Inej is injured while out at sea and has to be rushed to Ketterdam to be treated. And Kaz, unlike the last time she lay unconscious bleeding out on a boat, decides stay with her the whole time.

    Summary

    Wylan would never admit it, but he worried about Kaz.

    Granted, Kaz could take care of himself, very well, if Wylan recalled properly. But, it still gnawed on him sometimes. Kaz had a good number of enemies, a penchant for pissing people off, and an incapability to ask people for help. He had spent many long days at a time hearing nothing from him, wondering if he had finally made his way to the Barge, before receiving another knock at the door out of the blue.

    Jesper loved those visits. Wylan hated them.

    It was another one of those long stretches, the sixth day of it precisely, when he said to Jesper, “I think that I want to invite Kaz over for dinner.”

    Jesper had blinked at him owlishly, before casually shrugging and saying, “Whatever you say, Wy.”

    Summary

    Kaz Brekker knew how to deal with pain. Most days he could push through it, stay focused, and get the job done. But it was the quiet moments when the pain was the worst—the moments when there was nothing to focus on but the dull ache in his bones that never fully faded. It was just enough to keep him on edge, to fill him with exhaustion but keep the relief of sleep out of reach. Tonight was one of those moments.
