    Summary

    She burned Viktor’s name. No one else would. He was cursed now. A bad omen. A villain to scare children. If you don’t go play outside every now and then, you’ll end up like the Machine Herald. Don’t go too deep into the Sumps. That’s where the Machine Herald lives, waiting to take your soul and turn you into one of his puppets. That was not the Viktor she knew.
    The Viktor she knew had an expressive face. A brilliant mind she had thought of cultivating before Jayce came and they snatched each other from her. She remembered him as he was. The young man who would roll his eyes behind Heimerdinger’s back whenever he mistook a deadline by months. The man who broke every law, pretended to be sneaking Jayce Talis into his bedroom, and changed the world. The man who fought against his death with all he had and who Jayce loved. Like a brother, he’d said. Like something else, she’d thought.

    Mel mourns. Jayce and Viktor find her again.

    Summary

    Erik was hopeless and helpless to the man and had been for years.

    He had thought, once, maybe childishly, that he would get used to the torture that he was kept in. That Shaw’s words and actions would no longer hurt the way they had in the beginning and his body would get used to the strain he was in but that hadn’t happened. At one time, he had even thought that this wouldn’t be forever. That one day, maybe when he became an adult, Shaw would let him go. Even if he had been kicked out and left homeless, it would have been an improvement but that day still hadn’t come.

    At eighteen, Erik had been with Shaw for the last six years after his mother had died and he had no one else in his life.
