    Summary

    “What’s wrong?” Alphonse keeps his voice soft, like Byron is a spooked horse. A cornered dog. This role still feels unfamiliar to him—he was built to put the dog down, not to comfort it—but his presence seems to calm Byron, so he tries. And perhaps it’s nice to be needed, nice to be able to make someone feel safe after all the hurt he’s caused. Even if the mask is a little ill-fitting, it’s easy enough to slip it on.

    “I think my teeth are getting sharper.”

    --

    Byron has spent a long time pretending to be something he's not.
