Summary
That sentinels - marvels of science, human beings enhanced to the edge of human perfection - fell apart without someone to focus on was, by every scientist's account, complete bollocks. That all his running went down the drain because Neil happened to match with one was, in his personal opinion, even more absurd.
Meanwhile, Evermore Laboratories continued to care not one bit about what was or wasn't possible, and weren't about to let a little matter like basic human rights stop them.

Budding apothecary witch, Kevin Day, has always known that he has a soulmate, though he has no idea who they are. In a wild bid to protect them from the cruelty of his coven, the Ravens, Kevin decides to perform a "soulmate swap" spell and binds himself to someone who couldn't possibly exist. However, when Kevin finally escapes the Ravens years later, he manages to run into not one but two people who might just—impossibly—fit the bill.

Summary
Kevin didn’t look up when Neil neared, simply said: “I can’t answer your questions, Neil.”
“What,” Neil said, a bit breathlessly and endlessly curious, “are you so afraid of?”
And something about Kevin - flickered. Something in his shoulders and in his head as it hung, just for a moment, in defeat. He looked impossibly tired, exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with sleep and everything to do with the burdens they both ignored were there.
“Monsters are real, Neil.”

Summary
"There’s a lamp glowing warm in the corner beside Bee’s bookshelf, soft light catching on the edges of framed degrees Andrew’s never bothered reading before now. That’s where he sticks his gaze, just shy of looking at Bee.
Neil had looked gray when Andrew left the dorm. Gray, like someone had scooped the color out of him with both hands and left behind whatever was underneath. Every sharp bone in his body has started showing through lately - collarbones too pronounced beneath loose shirts, wrists thin enough Andrew can nearly circle one entirely with his hand.
It’s like watching something eat Neil alive from the inside out. Like termites hollowing through wood. The details accumulate under Andrew’s skin like splinters.
“Andrew.”
“He looks like a corpse,” Andrew says flatly."
