Summary
you reach for the drawer on your left instead, brushing aside a handful of broken pens, three crumpled receipts, and fish-gutting knife, before finally settling on a recently-swiped clay garrote, which you hold delicately in your hands, marveling at the sharpness of the wire, and how much more interesting it would look strung around some poor bastard’s un-anticipating throat, cutting deep through layers of red until there’s nothing left but a quiet, strangled gurgling in the air.
but there is no thief or killer strolling through your door, only kepler, who is both a thief and killer and yet somehow so transcendent of those titles that he has become something else entirely, another breed, and you worship his every awful move he makes.
(or, kepler gets hurt, and jacobi lends a hand.)

Summary
She has a great deal of difficulty understanding and defining subjective things — ‘soft’ things, as Isabel has called them — such as empathy and socialization and emotion. She is a notable bit better than the rest of the general populous at essentially all other cerebral tasks. She is exponentially better than them at mathematics and machine computations.
She has also been experiencing some incredibly mild, statistically insignificant, entirely-not-worth-talking-about, very minor hallucinations.
