The diner booth slowly filled with relaxed energy as everyone ate. Full stomachs and sweet milkshakes had the team loosening up fast. Laughter rolled across the table, the earlier practice tension melting away with every bite of greasy, comforting food. The guys were happy, trading jokes and reliving past events.

And the nickname?” Julian answers. “The Undone Virgin.” I grind my molars until my jaw aches. “All that fire wrapped in silk,” Elliot goes on. “They think she’s in it to win.

Five people around a table being professionally thorough about a catastrophe that is, at its origin, a catastrophe of professional thoroughness. The Vein is explained to the room by Emre, which is how Sebastien has mentally named the man in the corner chair, because that's the name he signed the registration form with when the Folklore network confirmed he'd agreed to come. He explains it with the brisk clarity of someone who has explained it before, who knows which details are important and which are rabbit holes. The five bloodlines. The resonance architecture.
