    Summary

    “I’m not sure what exactly you want, Herr Wright,” he says instead, flattens his voice down so neither anger nor tears leak through, and tries not to wince at the fact it defaults to friendly but distant charm instead. Like Wright’s an overenthusiastic fan who’s caught him while he’s busy and won’t take a hint.

    Wright knocks a fist against the doorframe, somewhat absent-mindedly. “I want lunch,” he says, finally. “The bus takes forever, give me a lift back into the city, will you?”

    In which Klavier and Phoenix are smart enough to finally have that conversation about the past, and dumb enough to do it in two parking lots and a burger barn drive-thru. There's no accounting for taste.

    Summary

    Kristoph, cont'd:
    She was also the murderer, but I won't bore you with the specifics. He ate glass for her. Nobody did anything of the sort when his own innocence was called into question; though I suppose that there was no question as to his guilt. What he did is not the sort of thing that can be covered up so easily.

    Trucy:
    Oh, Mr. Gavin, what a silly thing to say! You can cover anything up.

    Kristoph:
    I found that anecdote quite interesting. Do you think your father would eat glass for you, Trucy?

    Or, a three-man performance.

    Summary

    It reminds him of being younger, when he thought he was so much older than he’d ever been before, and he played poker and smoked cigarettes and fucked Kristoph Gavin into the mattress three nights a week. They’d hated each other in a way that Phoenix has been reaching for ever since. The sheer honesty beneath the constant deception; the undeniable truth of – I will dedicate my life to your living autopsy / I will commit myself solely to deceiving you / I will entwine my greater purpose with yours and only one of us will survive.

    or; Kristoph Gavin's execution.
