    Summary

    War changed people.

    Verso's hands were made for music, not violence. Even so, he couldn't escape the bloodshed that enveloped the continent—crushing the melodies of his soul in its heartless embrace. Returning to Paris meant rediscovering what it meant to be Verso Dessendre.

    He found Gustave instead.

    Summary

    War changed people.

    Gustave had left Paris to serve with honor, but when he finally returned home, he was a shell of himself—broken in more ways than one. It seemed wholly unfair that Verso Dessendre had come out unscathed.

    Summary

    He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.

    The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.

    Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.

    “Run,” Verso croaks.

    Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.

    Summary

    Freshly repainted, Gustave doesn't remember anything about his prior entanglement with Verso - but he finds himself drawn to Lumière's pianist all over again.

    With Verso reluctant to tell him the truth, Gustave soon finds himself falling back into the same old patterns: a secret relationship, the hint of something forbidden, and the familiar pressure of a welcome hand around his throat.
