    Summary

    It’s the same now. His contempt for the system that offers up shamans like sacrifices makes him eye non-sorcerers with suspicion, but the connection he shares with Satoru makes him laugh into his mug. The way he talks, the way he smiles. The way he sometimes chews with his mouth open, and the way he teases Satoru. The way he looks out for him, when he forgets to look out for himself. He isn’t the same person he was eleven years ago, and neither is Satoru, but then again, are they not? How else could Satoru explain how their conversation settles into an easy rhythm, cradled by a sense of familiarity? At the sight of the man sitting before him, his heart cheers in recognition, and his soul settles in peace.

    A story about power and who holds it, life and who saves it, lessons and who learns them, and second chances and who gets them.
