Summary
You don’t even feel the need to apologize to Dennis until you start to realize how good he is. Like, good at heart. There’s nothing performative. He’s just a sweet boy. And you’re you, which never made you feel as bad as it does now that you’re surrounded by good people all day long. He’s the worst of them all, though. So fucking sweet, so considerate. He knows you hate the apologies, and he stops. He knows you hate the upstairs neighbors, and he says something to them to make them quiet down. He knows you hate talking about Langdon, and he gives you an out every time the man comes up.
Trinity probably should have known that Huckleberry was going to be trouble when she persuaded him to come live with her. She couldn't have known that he would become so important to her. (Seriously, this is the guy who killed a patient on his first day! What was she thinking?)

Summary
“And you are–,” Armand pauses, as though searching for words. Finally settles on… “Safe.”
The implications in that one word. Daniel’s near certain the kid doesn’t mean safe as in a safe bet, a sure thing. He means that he feels safe. And the fact that the kid is finding safety here of all places– in an old journalist’s arms, in his own professor’s bed, without any defined relationship. Is he speaking about emotional safety? Or is he speaking about physical safety?
Daniel’s afraid it’s the latter.

Summary
He’s a boy hiding in a closet, temporarily safe from the men who will inevitably tie his ankles to the bedframe until they pull into harbor somewhere at the bottom of Africa. He’s a monster who killed a paralegal in cold blood eight hours ago. He’s five hundred years old. He’s fourteen, maybe— they guess his age instead of asking at the auction. It doesn’t take long for Arun to forget all the things he used to know about himself, to be reliant upon the slavers’ incomplete records for his last name, his birthday, the name of his village.
They don’t pass this information on to the brothel owner. The next time he loses it, he can’t get it back.
[Armand has a nightmare. It sticks around when he wakes up. Louis talks him down.]

Summary
[UPDATED AND COMPLETE!]
“There were times in my life when I wondered whether I’d been here at all. Whether it was something I made up— something Marius made up. He took me back, once, as a customer. I didn’t recognize anyone.”
Daniel leans back against the cushions, runs a hand over the stubble along his jaw. “It happened, Armand. It fucking happened.”
“Yes.”
“And you don’t think it stuck around? You don’t think it lingered?”[Post-interview, Armand and Daniel go through the files assembled by the Talamasca on Armand's past.]
