    Summary

    Such dreams I have, Atrus. Those of Tamra, of happier days, are painful. Shards of glass in my heart, yes, of course. But their pain is nothing compared to those of you.

    In my sleep - when it ever comes, for I am so afraid I will never wake up - I see you. I feel you, I know, deep in my very bones you feel me too, that someday I'll just turn my head and there you'll be, like nothing ever changed.

    Sweet, dangerous dreams. Cursed things, promising joy and bringing only agony. Just like you.

    - - -

    (Saavedro writes and remembers happier times with Atrus and his family. Sometimes, the best dreams hurt the most. Do you ever fall in love with the guy who's basically your God, and then get betrayed so badly you lose every bit of your shit? Yeah.)

    Summary

    Daniil Dankovsky, reduced to working as a pathologist, is summoned to an idiosyncratic port town to help hunt down the man suspected of a string of gruesome, ritualistic murders. Dankovsky quickly deduces that he was not selected by the Behaviorists for his medical expertise, but for his personal connection to the Ripper—and, perhaps, his outlawed thanatological studies.
