    Summary

    “I did not intend to startle you,” Rashid says, setting aside the tablet he always has clutched in his hands. He hadn’t been using it just now, Daniel’s pretty sure. More prop than anything, set dressing, just like those god-forsaken gloves that he’s still wearing at ass-o-clock in the afternoon.

    “Why are you awake,” Daniel says, croaks, still trying to swallow down the sip of water that had caught in his throat.

    Rashid laughs, low, and the sound ricochets through the room and straight into the cavern of Daniel’s skull. “You’ve stolen my line, Mr. Molloy.”

    Summary

    He stops struggling, goes rabbit-limp in the jaws of death. If he dies tonight, he’ll die putting up a fight; if he doesn’t put up a fight, he won’t die, at least not yet.

    Clever boy, something croons in his ear.

    And there’s a rising indignation there, swelling alongside a dizzy euphoria, but then Daniel’s world flips once again, and he is slammed down belly-first into concrete.

    Summary

    A remix of the middle of pickedaxe's Tether.

    There was an article Satomi read once, back when Masami was in his bouldering phase and had pointedly never invited his homebody younger brother along to his climbing gym. Something about how mountain climbers eventually stopped being afraid of falling. Their bodies just got tired of the adrenaline and quit producing it, and after that they could hang off a cliff face the way other people hung laundry. The downside, the article said, was that they also lost the ability to tell when they were actually about to die.

    Satomi, in the same bed as Kyouji.
