    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He thinks so many things and does not say a single one out loud. He chokes on such longing he cannot spit it out.

    Summary

    The Knights’ cloaks are the color of an open wound against the walls of the atelier, their pennants like exposed bones. They look at him like Olruggio has committed a crime he cannot remember. Maybe he has.

    They do not tell him who Qifrey is, even when he asks. They do not tell him much of anything.

    Olruggio thinks he can figure it out from the empty space.

    Summary

    “And when he’s gone?” Andrew asked.
    Then I’m gone too, Neil thought, but didn’t say. There likely wouldn’t be any reason for Neil to run, but he was going to, anyway. Everyone looking for him would be dead or in jail by the time the FBI was done, but Neil had never been taught to stay in one place. He wasn’t sure if he even knew how. All Neil knew how to do was disappear.
    “I’ll be alone, I guess,” Neil said with a shrug.
    “Lucky you,” Andrew said. He flicked his cigarette butt off the roof and onto the sidewalk below them.
    “Yeah,” Neil said. He stubbed his cigarette out on the sole of his shoe and tossed it over the side of the building after Andrew’s. “Lucky me.”

    or: neil is an insomniac. andrew is going to beijing. they aren't supposed to meet, but they do anyway.
