Julian ate breakfast; I didn’t. He had a lot more practice than I did at keeping to routine, no matter what happened.
    Eventually they would lower the shield, and I’d have my gifts back. If I was lucky and behaved myself, I might go the rest of my life without ever being gutted again; Julian claimed it was rarely done to adults.
    But the threat would always be there. All it would take was a single touch, and the cage embedded in my soul would slam shut once more.
    We hadn’t said a word
... all morning. When I went to sit in the living room, though, Julian followed me, and stayed in the doorway while I sat. Eventually I looked up and met his gaze.
    “I’m not giving up,” he said.
    Of course he wasn’t. He didn’t know how. He’d made a promise to Neeya, a promise to me—a promise to himself. Maybe it was the geas mixing with his training, or maybe Julian would have always grown up to be the sort of person who would do everything he could, and more.
