Summary
Several months after Invisigal disappeared with Shroud's mask, Robert is falling apart. Haunted by what happened with Shroud, guilty about Visi, running on fumes. He can't taste, can't feel, can't stop his off-the-books investigation into underground surgeons removing Red Ring implants. Every back-alley beating, every late-night break-in is just him chasing pain to cut through the numbness. To atone.
Despite his best efforts, some people on the team are starting to notice.
Flambae's got an alternative therapy in mind. The kind that doesn't end with Robert bleeding out behind a club. The kind that involves heat, control, and figuring out what Robert actually wants.
A story about choosing to live and finding heat in all the wrong (right) places.
