    Summary

    Light is scarce in this part of Ketterdam, away from streetlights and the stars choked by the thick fog, and so the field is lit by the weak glow of their bonelights. The place spreads out around them, the soil its rocky fingers to the farthest corners of Jesper’s vision. When he shines his light in front of him, all he’s met with is endless grey, the yawning mouth of the creatures from his childhood nightmares. And Wylan is here somewhere, trapped beneath the dead ground.

    Summary

    Finally, Nina looks away, sighing deeply. "Wylan, I'm the last person who would question your sex life, but this isn't healthy."

    He grits his teeth. "I'm fine, Nina. And I said yes."

    "To all of it?"

    He can't look her in the eye. "To all of it. You know what they say about liking it rough."

    The joke fails, miserably. Nina seems to want to push the topic, before she changes her mind. "Just - take care of yourself, okay? The ice packs are in the freezer."

    "I know. Thank you, Nina."

    "Don't thank me." She shuts the door, and Wylan turns back to the mirror, to see the bruises on his throat.

    Summary

    Wylan was digging.

    Quiet footsteps sounded behind him. A tell-tale clack of a cane on stone made Wylan stop for a moment, before he continued.
    "Wylan."

    The voice of Kaz Brekker came from behind Wylan. Underlying anger could be heard, as expected. Just to his left, still on the path.
    "I'm already digging my grave, Dirtyhands, you can finish the job if you want."

    No response from Kaz–Dirtyhands, Wylan lost the right to call him by name–came. Wylan did not halt in his digging. His hands hurt, his knees shook with the strain, he'd been there since dawn, it was now sometime after midnight.

    "Wylan.." Jesper's–Gunslinger’s, he lost that right, too– unsure voice came from the side.
    [...]

    Wylan never got to win, he’d never won in his life.

    “It never really goes away, does it? The feeling of the water?”

    “No.” Kaz interrupted whatever Matthias was going to answer. “It never does.”
