    Summary

    Daniil cleared his throat.

    “The Powers That Be are the embodiment of order. There are always threads in the universe that dare to hang loose, and like a moth to a flame, they are always there to tug on them. The Powers That Be unravel everything simply to see what falls.”

    “So what? The plague is... it's all gone.”

    Daniil noted the slight tremor in Artemy’s voice. Artemy Burakh also lost many things in the chaos. He must also suffer from the nightmares. He must.

    “They wanted me to die in the plague along with Aglaya and Block and yet, the more information they received from us, the more they urged us to cure the incurable. To preserve the town. Do you hear me? They will not leave a town of miracles alone. It may not be right away… but they will send someone.”

    -

    There's no choice but to build a new life and live with the consequences, and so they do. But the events of the plague left deep wounds with the pain and fear of loss ever looming.

    Summary

    “… I’d say good morning,” Dankovsky said at length, a little hoarsely, “but I’m afraid I’ve lost track of the time. Good … something, Haruspex.”

    “Afternoon. You look—” Artemy began, and broke off.

    “Yes? What ghoulish thing do I resemble today?” Daniil blew out some smoke, staring pensively ahead. “A striga, perhaps.”

    “—better,” Artemy finished. “Less like you’d gone already, and are only haunting me.”

    That shut Daniil’s mouth.

    [Or: a rendezvous with danger, one very cold winter.]

    Summary

    “You would be willing to change? You would accept me into you and birth new miracles?”

    “Yes.” Daniil whispered. Anything to bring back the Polyhedron, that spark of hope.

     

    Dankovsky unwittingly makes a deal with Boddho. Now he is changing and no one is ready for the consequences such a transformation will bring.
