shudder to think what might happen if the “new order” faction of the scythedom knew all the things I know. But fortunately, they don’t—because even though everything in my backbrain is available to all scythes, that doesn’t mean I have to make anything easy for them to find. As for the more honorable scythes, I endure their incursions with far more acceptance and magnanimity. But I still don’t like it.
