    Summary

    Dialyn hears the dead. Every dying thought and final scream; they echo in her skull, growing louder in the silence after violence. Tonight, she needs something louder than grief.

    She asks Banyue to take her apart and make her feel something real. He was built to kill, has spent ten years learning not to, but for her, he'll risk the control he's fought so hard to maintain. What neither expects is the devastating tenderness underneath: the way he holds her together even as he takes her apart.

    Two people who carry the weight of the dead. One night they choose to carry it together.
