Summary
It's March, and Viktor knows he doesn't have long left to live. His friends only know that his health isn't great, but not that he's dying. How could he tell them? What could he possibly say to Jayce? No, better to just keep quiet.
Then the unthinkable happens: Ambessa Medarda, for reasons of her own, offers to fund state-of-the-art surgery for him, and suddenly the preciousness of hope dangles enticingly in front of him.
“Viktor?” Jayce’s one word question actually means: excuse me? What? Que? Please explain your outlandish comment?
“I need some time off. Just for a bit. Probably. Then I will be back. Also probably.”
“Probably?” What does that mean? ‘Probably’? That sounds incredibly suspicious. “I need more information.”
What Viktor says next, and in the same tone he uses for what coffee do you want? knocks Jayce for six.
“I am having possibly life-saving surgery, and then I need time to recover.”
Jayce doesn’t so much sit down, as fall backwards. Fortunately his desk is right behind him, otherwise Jayce would be but a sad flesh puddle on the floor. He runs that bewildering sentence back through his mind, trying to sift out the meaning.

Summary
Viktor felt, for a second, somewhat sated. This was not the life he had dreamed of, but only because he had, on some level, not really expected to have a life to dream about. He had a comfortable job, a kind employer, he had more time than he ever really expected to read, to study, to learn. He had, of course, a yearning for something more, but while their travels interrupted his personal experiments, they also funded them. He could imagine a better world for himself, and simultaneously accept the hand he had been dealt, as much as he disliked it.
None of this was new—they were the facts of his life.
But after that feeling of being sated came another. Something deep, twisted, terrifying, awful. There was no evidence to support it, only a sensation across his fingers, down the back of his neck, clutching at his chest.
Something—and he was not sure what—was about to change, it said.
—
When his employer is hired to tutor a young woman, Viktor hardly expects to meet anyone interesting in the process. Instead, however, he meets Jayce Talis: wealthy, handsome, a scientific genius—
And an asshole. That too.
