Summary
"What people are calling it now, the Rat War, there are no words to describe what we faced. And I do not want to find the words to describe how I felt. Trapped underground in the dark, squeezing into tunnels that aren’t meant for men my size. Knowing at any moment the walls could be caved in on us and we’d be trapped, or worse we’d be trapped with Fear himself. And the voice that found me in Attica- that found me in that bloodydam box returned, taunting me at every corner, whispering to me when I tried to find sleep, seeping doubt into every one of my decisions."
Four months after returning from the Rat Wars, Darrow and Sevro learn to deal with their traumas of war and Darrow's lingering fears and anxieties from The Box.

Summary
It was a long ride on the Archimedes through the Rim and a not unlikely chance of meeting the Old Man in the Vale. Darrow was sure that it felt longer due to the company he was currently keeping. What happens when a Gold, a feral half-breed, a Red, a Pink, and a man who should have died too many times to count are trapped together for months, while everyone knows they are on a borderline suicide mission? Between his recent self reflection thanks to Aurae and his individual conversations with the crew of the Archimedes, Darrow is forced to face a secret he’s been hiding from everyone, including himself, since his time at the Institute.

Summary
It takes Virginia a few moments to remember that tonight, the spot next to her should be warm, occupied by her husband who is finally on home leave after half a year of absence. But Darrow's not in bed, and the pillow and sheets next to her are cool. He hasn't been in bed all night.
(Set during the Rat War, cca in 749 PCE, so spoilers up to Iron Gold just to be safe.)
