    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    Well, just look at him. Driver's voice is flat. The difference from his usual tone is jarring; Driver is generally a quiet man, but that doesn't mean he lacks emotion. Ryland has learnt to identify the small tells in his mild-mannered voice — the lilt in his speech when he smiles, the tight, tense note that his tone takes on when he's feeling on edge, the way his words go all soft and warm when he's being shy. But Ryland doesn't think he's ever heard him sound like this, his voice so utterly devoid of inflection. Does he look like a good guy to you?

    In the background, the cartoon keeps playing, the animated shark now segueing into a villainous monologue.

    I smell blood and I bite! The shark declares. Its serrated teeth are drawn in identical isosceles triangles. That's just what I do!

    It's easy to take a stray dog home. The hard part is keeping him.

    Summary

    It’s the same now, with Ryland. Frozen like a prey animal caught in a trap, a frog paralysed with venom; his traitorous body still shaking like a mutt from the leftover adrenaline and the sudden, overwhelming terror that, once again, he has revealed the brutality of himself, the ugly violence comprising the foundation of who he is, to someone he cares for.

    And once again, they will leave him for it.

    Driver almost kills a man. Ryland watches.

    Summary

    The man left his apartment at 7:14 every morning.

     

    Not 7:10. Not 7:20. Seven-fourteen, the way a clock keeps time — without deciding to, without knowing it was being watched. Driver had started noting it the third week. By the fifth, he didn’t need to look at his phone anymore. He just knew. He’d be at his door with his coffee, stepping out to the shared landing for air, and the door at the end of the hall would open.
