Summary
When he only saw daylight, he now sees the trail of silver stars at its tail.
“Wow…”
“Do you see it?” Clearer than the sun. “That’s you, Malcolm. The magic that flows inside you. The magic that makes you you.”
A lump appears in his throat, his hand twitching in reflex. It’s been a few years now since they first laid hands on him, but his deformed fingers hadn’t stopped hurting at random times. He doesn’t think they ever will.
“Are we dangerous, Rory?”
“Only if we want to be.” She answers as if rehearsed or prepared. Malcolm believes her regardless. “There’s a saying I’m particularly very fond of, kindness is a choice. It is the choices you make every day, and being kind in a world this fucked up takes a lot of trying.”
Malcolm blinks at the sudden swear, half-wondering if he’s going to get in trouble. But Rory is smiling like she knows, and Malcolm remembers just how much safer he already feels with them.
“I want to learn everything.”
“In due time I will teach you. We have the rest of our lives.”
