I did not put Bite into the slot.The nursery waited.So did Jonah.So did every screen in the theater, every frightened face, every person who had decided I was cruel until the moment cruelty became harder to package.I held the transfer tag between two fingers.It was thin as a fingernail clipping.Black plastic. Gold edge. Jonah Vale printed at the top in neat white letters, as if that made stealing him administrative instead of monstrous.Below it:SECONDARY VESSEL PREPARATION.COMFORT OBJECT ROUTE CONFIRMED.The red room screen froze.Jonah stared at the tag."What does that mean?" he asked.No one answered fast enough.I hated that.Children always knew when adults were protecting them from the sentence."It means they were going to use Bite to call you somewhere," I said.Jonah's hand went to his own chest."Me?""Yes.""But I am not special."The sentence came out flat.

The black circles turned toward me like open mouths.Not toward Serena.Not toward Valerius.Toward me.For half a second I did not understand the horror of that.Then Jonah looked down at the floor under his bare feet and whispered, "Aria?"The circle moved with him.It slid across the red room floor without touching his skin, patient and waiting, a hole that had learned manners. Mira dragged Eli backward by both shoulders. Silas swung the bent pipe at the darkness and hit nothing but tile.My debt key burned cold against my wrist.Kael's voice came through thinly.
