  1. Summary

    "...it is perhaps strange and horrible
    to know one day one of us will die
    and the other will be alive, volume turned up,
    his mouth now weighing twice as much.
    We cannot be excused from this
    device of road and harrow, from this weight
    we heft and heave."
    On Speaking Quietly with My Brother, Jay Deshpande

    Summary

    “Look,” the doctor says, and the tightness in his voice isn’t good. “Your brother—I’m not sure if—”

    “You will,” Knives says. Means to put more threat in it, but. “You will all perish miserably without him, so you will save him.”

    Summary

    Knives is reaching the end of his patience trying to convince Vash to cooperate with his efforts to save their species.

    Wolfwood decides to roll up his sleeves and intervene.

     

    “Which hole?” Wolfwood asks, so crudely that Knives can’t help the incredulous bark of laughter that escapes him.

    “This is really how you speak to my brother in bed.”

    “I told you,” and here he’s treated to a wolfish grin. “We’re a couple’a dirty boys. Welcome to the club.”

    Summary

    There’s the vision: Nai soldiering onward, eyes forward, while his peers gradually peel off and get on with the rest of their lives.

    Soon he’ll be the only one left. The last man standing on the road to gold.

    --

    Or: Nai ponders his career ambitions, unresolved family issues, and new coaching situation. Maybe if he focuses hard enough on skating, he won't have to deal with a quarter life crisis (no such luck).

    Summary

    Wolfwood wakes to the sound of gunshots in the early morning.

    He groans and tries to roll over, but the couch he’s been sleeping on is narrow so he almost ends up toppling to the floor.

    “God… dammit… Knives.”

    Wolfwood thinks he’s never seen anything so lovely and dangerous in his life, like a flower with a million thorns.

    There’s that flicker across Wolfwood’s face again. It’s gone just as quick. “Please, angel,” he says.
