Every day, Sebastian looks at the tea I make him, then smiles, closing his eyes. With all the recklessness of hope, he drinks the tea.

Neither Mortons nor revolutions can tolerate loose ends. Neither of us can leave the other without destroying them.

It had been the pills, and they had slipped away. Touching Sebastian, being touched by him, didn’t have the same intensity. But I woke up every morning and chose him, just as I chose not to kill the people who cut in front of me in line.

It was one thing, being separated from him in my family’s hidden room. But Helshire was the real world, where I needed real air to breathe.
His absence marked every tree, every stone.

Neither of us had said the word love before. I wasn’t sure I loved him. This wasn’t what I’d felt for Hiromi. Sebastian felt more necessary— like air. I no longer made my own oxygen.

“Why did you want me? Back when I was a true Morton?”
“Because you were so certain,” he said, kissing me. “Unafraid.” He kissed me again. “You didn’t flinch. You didn’t cry.” And again. “You didn’t speak unless you had something to say.” Another, deeper, kiss.
The same sentiments as Xavier. “My certainty’s gone. Why do you still love me?”
