    Summary

    Erik studies him for a moment – Charles Xavier, a fascinating contradiction of a man: he is unreservedly compassionate even when he has seen into the dregs of humanity, curiously arrogant and unaware of it; he looked at Erik from the start like he was promising him everything, but even now, when Erik puts his hands on him, he sometimes flushes all over like it’s the first time he’s ever been touched. It’s addictive, wonderful, frightening. Erik wants everything and doesn’t know what to do with what he has.

    Summary

    Control has always been crucial to Bruno Bucciarati. His stand, his choice of work, everything about him reflects it, and he's happy with that. Fortune favors the bold. But there are so many things that are out of his hands, no matter how he fights against them. Things like the indifference of the government, the brutality of the drug trade...

    He just never thought his own body would be one of them.

    Summary

    “At least I don’t pretend what I’m doing has meaning. I don’t pay for affection, Buccellati. What I have is real misery.”
    “And that’s better?” Bruno set his glass down on the bar with a sharp thud. “Destroying yourself quietly is more honorable than… trying to move on?”
    “That’s what you call moving on?” Abbacchio made a dismissive gesture with the hand holding the cigarette. “Looking for my ghost in anyone’s bed. It’s pathetic.”
