Summary
Monoco sighs. There are no marks on his body, of course, but he can see — the bloodstains on the ropes, the long-burned campfire with an iron rod lying in it. The gag, not compatible with a real interrogation. Most importantly — Verso’s evasiveness; barely hidden fear in the pale eyes that refuse to look up.
“Questions”. Sure.
He finishes with most of the ropes, feeling relief that it’s almost over — and stops, trying to comprehend what he is looking at.
Or: Monoco finds Verso after a rough encounter with an expedition. Freeing him turns out to be more complicated than any of them was ready for.

Summary
It didn’t storm in the canvas.
Or at least, before the Fracture it never had. It snowed in the mountains. Rained softly in the forests. It didn’t storm.
Well, there was a first time for everything.

Summary
It happens too fast.
A moment ago everything was well, and the expedition — brave, good people, believing in their duty and their oath — was moving through the half-frozen caves, lighting the way with their chroma lamps. Monoco and Noco followed, arguing about who is the best Searcher between them two, and Verso — being in surprisingly good mood, Verso was walking beside them, teasing them both and purposefully adding fuel to the fire. Noco, the wise old man that he was, only laughed at his little jabs; Monoco, to their utter delight, was getting more and more agitated.
Everything was well.
He should have known that “well” never lasts.
Or: Old Noco does something reckless. Neither Monoco nor Verso take it too well.

Summary
"God, Maelle can’t believe it, she’s so close now. She can’t believe it’s finally happening.
It’s taken weeks and weeks of work and raw, ugly communication to bridge over the hurt, guilt, rage and grief, to slowly rebuild the wreck of their lives.
And now, she's here, at the edge of her world."
In which Maelle returns to the Canvas after reconciling with her parents, but sometimes reunions are messy, and things rarely remain the same. Also she notices the very unexpected friendship between Verso and Gustave.

Summary
Verso gulps. Monoco can see his throat working — his thin, ridiculously fragile human throat, too easy to squish and too easy to damage.
“I need you to tie me up,” he repeats — voice firmer, more desperate. “And hurt me. Make me feel pain. Make me feel… helpless.”
Monoco can't not notice the shiver that runs through him when he says it. Not an excited one, not something brought by the adrenaline before the fight — pure terror.
Monoco sees it in his eyes, dimmed with exhaustion.
Or: "I used to have horrible dreams. But somehow, it was worse when they stopped. Now it’s just this… oppressive void."
