Day one. Aimee in her red coat, buttoned to the throat, reading by the door while Kaelan watches. Later. The same room and the same door. Aimee in an open purple coat, meeting his eyes. Day 1 Later

Aimee's Terms

Same room. Same door. Every change, she chose.

Drag across the picture.

Her partner was poisoned on the road. The cure is due every night.

Miss one night and the price goes up. It never comes back down. The Church refuses to pay for it.

Day 1In her purse812
Night 1The cure −350462
Night 2The cure −350112
Night 3Short.−238

The Church won't pay. You can. She decides what it costs.

She writes down what she won't do.

Every term is one short sentence in her own hand. You can't cross any of them out. Only she can.

When a term falls, it falls for good, and you see it: in her clothes, her voice, the way she fights.

Over a hundred terms. Two of them, here.

Her terms

  • Day 3. She loses them at cards.
  • Later. A third of the buttons, every day.
  • I wear trousers, not skirts.Not yet.
  • My chest stays covered.Not yet.
  • I cover up in the street.Not yet.

Tap the first two lines.

Aimee on day one, coat buttoned to the throat, eyes on her book.
Day 1Buttoned to the throat. She won't look at you.
Aimee later, coat open, looking straight at him.
LaterNobody made her. She's looking right at you.

She is never forced. She is never fooled.

Every step is her choice, made with her eyes open. That's what makes it hard to watch.

Three ways in. None of them easy.

Every term has its own key. What opens one can lock another.

Pressure

Let the bill do the talking. She bends, but not toward you.

Trust

Pay for her and she trusts you. She also needs you less.

Heat

The slowest of the three, and the one she notices last.

You play the man across the table.

Kaelan

Kaelan

you

Gloved, patient, generous with money. Every night he writes a report to a patron who reads more than he writes.

Aimee

Aimee

the exorcist

Counts under her breath. Keeps the ledger and her terms in the same book.

Murash

Murash

her partner

Bitten at the barrow. The poison is his. The bill is hers.
