Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

Summary
“I want to die.”
That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”
“I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”
Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

Summary
The Butcher of Torfan. Frankly, Eric Shepard liked the nickname.
Or: This is the guy they picked to represent humanity?
~
“Torfan.”Anderson nodded. “Despite everything that happened, you proved yourself on that moon, Shepard. You showed you have fortitude, dedication, and grit. These are the qualities we need to put forth to the council to get one of ours in the Spectres. I think you’re up to it. Do you?”
A laugh escaped Shepard’s mouth before he could stop it. “Sir, I never thought I’d make it to twenty before you and I met.”

Summary
Whatever Kaidan had been expecting from the Butcher of Torfan, this isn’t it.
There’s nothing krogan-like about the soldier sitting at the table. The lethal gaze from the vids is watery and unfocused. The empty bottle in his hand isn’t a gun, but he clutches it like one. When the bartender delivers a fresh one Shepard doesn’t look up, merely pops the top off and takes another quick pull.
This isn’t good.
~Sam Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, in the years before the Normandy. AKA, the slowest of slow burns.
