Summary
Viktor dreams of standing in front of Yuuri's statue, his ethereal beauty all the more present in this state. He reaches out to touch the stone cheek and is met with warm flesh that seems to burn at his touch.
With stone eyes, Yuuri's mouth slowly opens to reveal a black nothingness. Viktor leans forward to hear the words that do not come out of this stone Yuuri's visage. As he gets closer, hand on Yuuri's cheek, the mouth extends just a bit more, morphed into this inhuman shape, to let a storm out.
Out of the mouth pours an ocean, water flooding Viktor's dream and Viktor himself. Even as he drowns, he calls for Yuuri to hold onto him, but the stone countenance does nothing but let out more water.
Yuuri is silent even as Viktor cries out for him. Then Viktor wakes up.
--
At the peak of his career and the bottom of his motivation, Viktor partners with a tourism program to regain his sense of self. What he discovers in this small city of Hasetsu, however, is a handsome figure of the past that pulls him deeper and deeper into the city's very being.
(Or, Viktor falls in love with a rock.)

Summary
“We cannot let anyone see us die. We cannot let them see us heal. We must get out of this city, away from them. If they catch you, they will kill you. If they see what you are…it will go as badly for you as it would for me. Neither of us is safe with them, you understand? You need me to help you get past them, away from this place. I need you to help me out there, in the desert, until we reach a port. Do you understand? We are the same. We must get out.”
He stopped; he was not sure how to make himself any clearer, and the Saracen was not evidently interested in conveying anything other than his loathing. Nicolò waited, and after a long, uncomfortable moment, the Saracen finally responded. He spat an incomprehensible sentence in Arabic, heavy with disdain, and thrust his bound hands forward. A demand to be released? That would make sense. Nicolò hesitated.
“Do you understand me?” he pressed, repeating his gestures. “We are the same. We go together? Away from here? Both of us?”
The Saracen repeated also; his Arabic phrase, and the twisting of his wrists against their bindings. Nicolò nodded, and crouched before him.“I am going to free you,” he said. “Please help me.”

Summary
He would not go back to that church. If there was something his father had taught him that stuck was to not let his weaknesses show, to let a side open for people to sink claws in. Having spoken them out loud once was bad enough. The secret of confession could work once, maybe twice. It was not easy. Giulio’s father took up so much space in his life, there was very little left for God.
──────────────
The story of Giulio Sabbadin through his life, from a young man to a cardinal. How he became who he is and how he built the relationships that shaped his life.
