    Summary

    “Sometimes, I feel like my eyes are seeing things just fine and the information’s getting hijacked before it gets to my brain. My perception interrupted.” With a touch of whimsy, he adds, “A man in the middle attack on my mind.”

    “Perception is a tool that’s pointed on both ends,” says Hannibal and it sounds like agreement. “Tell me, Will. What do you think you ought to be seeing?”

    He knows what Hannibal wants him to say. He doesn’t say it.

    Summary

    Hannibal is very possessive of Will.

    It might have something to do with the fact that he’s a centuries old demon.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
