Summary
"I think that Will is perceptive enough to see his own vulnerability when he is confronted by it, unmistakeably and unavoidably, and I think that when this happens, then he will accept his nature and he’ll be able to give us answers..."
In his attempts to wring professional notoriety from the contents of Will's brain, Dr Chilton employs increasingly unprofessional tactics. This is going to get ugly.

Summary
“Will, I need you to tell me what happened.”
Hannibal waits as patiently as the circumstances allow, but Will doesn’t speak. Will’s answer is cryptic, laid out for Hannibal in ugly clues. It’s etched into his skin, and pungent about the remaining shreds of clothing still clinging to him.
It's in the footprints etched in purple into his side, and the trail of grit and soil, leading from Hannibal’s car, through the house and now smudged into the bed Will is sitting on, barely held together. The answer is something monstrous, and Hannibal will pull it from him, eventually.- Language:

Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.
-
Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
Three months after the upir, Boston is sweltering. Magic is rising. Witches are disappearing.
Shane Hollander's biggest concern should be surviving the heat. Instead, a routine job turns into anything but: a missing persons case involving a vanished coven, fake runes, real blood magic, Japanese mythology, and a hole in the ground that absolutely should not exist.
He's seen enough bad ideas to recognize one when he finds it. Unfortunately, stopping someone else's terrible decisions means following a trail of blood, crows, and paper lanterns into the unknown.
Sometimes the only way out is through.
It's going to be one of those weeks.
