    Summary

    Sua holds the pearl up close, studying it. It’s bigger than she thought they would be, about half the size of her thumb, a little weight in her hands. She catches herself in the mirror. In a trace, she raises her hand, raises the pearl not to her ear, but to her neck. She presses it against her skin, against the brand seared into her flesh; it’s just the right size. Sua’s heartbeat, trained and restrained, is steady as she practices, one final dress rehearsal, where the bullet will collide with her throat.

    (or, two hours before doomsday, in her dressing room, sua muses about the deaths of stars)

    Summary

    “The fuck is a Medarda doin’ in this bum-fuck town?” Jinx asked, squinting at the card.

    -

    In sleepy, small-town Zaun, nothing changes. Sevika never wanted to return to this shit-hole, but in the aftermath of Silco's execution, she didn't have much of a choice. With two new wards thrust upon her and a forced retirement, she wasn't sure what to make of her new life.

    She didn't expect much.

    She definitely didn't expect her.

    Summary

    Ein gemeinsamer Abend mit Robert im Nichtraucher-Waggon erinnert Johann an einen ähnlichen vor etwa dreißig Jahren. Ebendieser Abend hat einiges an Spuren an seiner und Roberts Beziehung hinterlassen. Jetzt wird es langsam an der Zeit, sich diesen zu stellen und ehrlich miteinander zu reden.

     

    Wie in der Weihnachtsgeschichte von Charles Dickens. Der Geist der vergangenen Weihnacht war, in Gestalt von Robert, durch die undichten Fenster des Nichtraucher-Waggons gekrochen und hatte den Staub von den Fensterbänken gefegt, die Johanns Erinnerungen waren.
