Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

Summary
A priest's role is one of guidance, discipline, devotion, and absolution—a shepherd tending to his flock, a servant of God who stands as an intermediary between the sinner and salvation.
But what happens when that priest is also the instrument of suffering? When his hands, meant for blessing, become the hands that punish, that test, that push a soul to its limits before granting the mercy of release?
And what happens when another man—a fellow priest, a scholar of faith—kneels not before God, but before him?

Summary
The Vigil bells are still tolling, calling the monks to the nightly orations. In his bed, Caleb is still adrift between sleep and wake, not sure if he is dreaming the gentle fingers combing his hair in absent-minded strokes, their owner absorbed in his reading.
