    Summary

    “So we got an anonymous report, about some family in the 16ème. You never know, with those, it’s either someone’s ex-spouse wasting our time or the worst shit you ever saw.”

    Emma pours herself a glass and immediately takes a swig. Her face looks hollow in the dimming light of March.

    “It was the second one,” she continues, pressing hard fingers onto the bridge of her nose. “I get to this huge fucking manor, and this lady opens the door, looking down on me like I’m dirt on the bottom of her shoe, right? Refusing to let me in, telling me nothing in there is my business, the works. You know it’s bad when they won’t let you in.”

    In which Emma is a social worker, Gustave is a teacher and Alicia learns to live.

    Summary

    There was no ceremony, only Emmrich raising his staff and one hand tracing a sigil in the air. Between the two the air solidified, took shape, and became a sphere of fire and incandescence. The center of it gleamed whitely, shading through yellow and orange and back to blue in the corona so it was as if Emmrich had the sun cupped in his palms, the only true piece of light in this place.

    Or: Emmrich has a rough day. Rook decides to comfort him and they end up comforting each other. As is to be expected.
