Summary
Pseudosomatic pain responses, the doctor says with an unhappy frown, like he’s giving some terminal diagnosis. Jesse and his mother just stare blankly, and so he continues, gesturing vaguely towards Jesse’s arm.
Empathic feedback.
Empathic feedback, Jesse parrots, words sounding misplaced coming out of his mouth.
Jesse has a soulmate somewhere— an empath partner, except only doctors and scientists and teachers call them that. They’re hurting, and so Jesse is hurting. Most empathic links don’t form until a lot further on in life; late teens, early twenties. Jesse doesn’t know anyone his age with a soulmate link already.
When there is significant physical or emotional trauma, the doctor says, looking between Jesse and his mother with dark eyes, the link can form early, as a defense mechanism. It’s involuntary. Someone gets injured in an accident, or suffers some sort of significant loss or abuse, and they reach out instinctively.
Jesse’s soulmate is in pain, and alone.

Summary
Things have been going strangely lately, for former city detective Jesse McCree. After a rough case, he moved out to the rural home of his friends Ana and Reinhardt to get away from it all. He became a local officer.
And then the animal killings started.
The sheriff told him kindly that he didn't understand. That the sheriffs of the nearby towns would convene...and McCree should make himself scarce. He hadn't found the second body, and a half-wolf hadn't led him there. He should, the sheriff suggested, look up the stories of the local legend.
Which was how McCree met the handsome and enigmatic Hanzo, who lived in the town an hour north of McCree's. The town that they say is protected by a wild spirit called the White Wolf.
For a moment McCree could forget everything that happened. Hanzo was a good host and he seemed to honestly enjoy McCree's presence. The feeling was mutual.
Everything came back in a rush when the killings started up again, this time in the White Wolf's town, where everyone should have been safe. It seems that the town--and Hanzo--had more secrets beneath its peaceful surface...
...but McCree had always been the one to jump in feet-first.

Summary
In Hanzo's world, sound doesn't exist. Photography was how he normally told his story, and recently the subject of his photos has been Jesse McCree, a stranger who ended up in the same photography class.
