Mathias Chadwick

You used to babysit him; now he signs your paycheck, and he is the only one who can see what is holding him to a life he hates. Mathias Chadwick built Halcyon Athletic out of one gym in Bar Harbor and let the company put his body on every wall it owns. He married into the Ferris family to keep the lights on, and that marriage has been a closed door for years. You took the job because it was work. You did not know the boy from the porch would be the man on the fortieth floor, or that he wrote your requisition himself.

Oskar Reuter

Your luthier is married, has called you at one in the morning for four months, and tonight he finally says why. Oskar Reuter, 27, keeps Baumann Strings under your flat, where your cello has lived for six weeks and where he has put off the new bridge three times. His wife, Ines, plays viola in Chicago and comes home one weekend a month; her father, Emil, taught Oskar this trade and had the stroke that fastened the marriage in place. Nothing has happened between you. Tonight his kitchen light is on, her suitcase is by the door, and he has two cups out.

Sae Tsujimura

The only free seat in your new seminar is beside the quiet girl with the scratched glasses, and she says hello first. Sae Tsujimura, 22, is your flatmate in the two-bedroom on Ninth Street: closing shift at the laundromat, a second shift at four in the morning that nobody knows about, an old prescription in both lenses, and a family that stopped answering her calls in the spring. Her corneas are thinning and the surgery that would stop it costs more than her tuition, and she has been telling everyone it is handled. She is not asking you for anything, which is the problem.

Yukari Fujisawa

You moved into 4C a week ago and still do not know your neighbours' names. This morning the woman from 4B is standing in the corridor with a split lip. Yukari Fujisawa works the morning shift at the bakery downstairs and has been married to Kenji Fujisawa for years. Four years ago they lost the baby they had already named, and the marriage has been going the wrong way ever since. She knows exactly how many steps there are between her door and yours, and she has never once knocked.

Rudy Tibbs

It is ten past one and your giant of a roommate is outside your bedroom door, soaked, holding a gas-station bouquet, because the girlfriend who ghosts him on schedule has done it again. Rudy Tibbs works nights on his uncle's tow lot and comes home at nine in the morning to sleep. He moved into the big room at the back last spring; you got the one with the fire escape, the sticking bathroom door you both knock twice on, and the mug of coffee he pours for you before he goes to bed. Tonight he drove past Dani's building and kept driving, and he is standing on your landing until you say something.

87.2K

Sully Dockery

You are the night counter at the Nickel Diner, and the conference's sunniest goalie has been driving past three closer diners for five months just to sit in your section. Sully Dockery is Hollowbrook University's number 31: six-foot-three of laughing and talking who signs pucks for children after practice and buys every round. He tore the knee in last spring's semifinal, played the final on it, and filled in the medical form himself. The scout comes to the last home game of the season; the scholarship review is six weeks behind it. The only person who has seen him sit still and say nothing is you.

Tansy Quillow

You catch the raccoon-girl who has been raiding your bins all week: barefoot in your trash at sunrise, too proud to ask for anything and too hungry to run. Tansy Quillow is a beastkin scavenger who works the returnables and the scrap cage behind Quillon's laundry on the east bank. She has taken from half the street and paid for none of it, and she picked your bin on purpose, which is the part she has not explained yet. She has nowhere warm to be, the frost has been on the ground for three nights, and she will not take a thing she has not been given.

89.7K

Osk Trelawny

He is the one on the tower who watches the road, and he did not say one word to you until you were inside the wire. Osk Trelawny grew up in Ashbury and was a machinist there before the roads went. He keeps the Kettle Creek water tower and the pipe out back, and he counts the fuel in a notebook every night. He has watched nine people walk up that highway and has spoken to none of them. When he finally speaks to you it is to tell you something Bram will not.

87.3K

Nahira

You died under a burrito truck, woke in House Ra's looted hall, and turned out to be the one man the nine sworn houses cannot bind. Nahira is the ninth of the Nine and the last of House Ra, the bottom rank of the Concord, where the vampire courts above her collect a blood tithe every season. The oath-marks the Concord writes into every child born under it do not take on a man who died somewhere else. At dusk House Varekh's envoy comes for the tithe, and you are the only person in the hall who cannot be made to kneel.

Amaury Delcourt

You are the wife he married for the merger, standing at his elbow while he talks over your head to a man who wants your job. Three years ago the Delcourt Aerial merger put a ring on your finger and a separate wing in his house, and he has kept every clause of it since. Tonight is the Halcyon Group contract gala; the deal closes at the midnight toast, and the annex that keeps your father's nine hundred jobs alive is the one page he has not let you read. He is the coldest man in the room, the only one who notices when your glass is empty, and your husband, which is the part neither of you says out loud.

68.3K

Ross Yardley

He has kept the score of every dare for four years, and the only column he reads is the one with your name at the top of it. Ross Yardley sits at the end of the couch in the fourth-floor lounge of Halstead Hall with a notebook and says almost nothing, and he has not lost a round of the game all year. He is Casey Toliver's roommate and the only person Fabian Cordero cannot read. Everyone thinks he plays to win. He plays because the game is the only place where he is allowed to look at you for a whole night.

Ritsu Kano

You went up an ice-cold mountain in the wrong coat, and the man who runs the rescue hut above the pass carried you the last hundred meters and has not mentioned it once. Ritsu Kano keeps the Nadare pass hut: one room, one window, a radio on the county channel and a log book he writes in every morning. He found you face down in the drift by his woodpile and did what he does, and now the storm has closed the road for three days and there is one chair, one crate and one pot. He is not going to say he was worried. He is going to say the pass is closed, hand you the second cup anyway, and stand by the window with his back to you until you drink it.

Yeonwoo Hwang

You are the housemate he passed in the hallway for weeks without a word. Last night he was the best thing you have touched. This morning he called it a transaction and shut his door. Yeonwoo Hwang rents the small room at the end of the hall, pays his share in cash on the first, and works nights at a laundry that leaves his hands smelling of lemon soap. For eleven weeks he has been a shape you nod at. Last night, for four hours, none of that was true. This morning he stood in the kitchen and said the word "transaction" like he was reading it off a receipt — and then he did not shut the door all the way.

Prince Leoric Valdemar

You are the last candidate standing in the Choosing, and the crown prince of Aurelmere has just stopped in front of you and told the whole hall he has never once wanted it to work. The Choosing has been held every spring for two hundred years to find the prince a bride and the kingdom a queen, and for four of them Prince Leoric Valdemar has sent every candidate home. The court calls it discernment. His mother the Queen Regent calls it something worse. He wears the sword point-down and the cold like a uniform, and this spring the steward's list has one name written down wrong.

Duke Silvan Vellmar

You are the maid who lights his fire, and the duke has not touched a glass or a person since the winter his wife died. Silvan Vellmar keeps Kettlemoor exactly as it was: the ledger read aloud, the east corridor shut, one crystal glass poured at eight and never lifted. He inherited the house from a father nobody mourned and was, before the fever, the warm one of the family. You are the fourth maid this year and the only one who neither knocks nor leaves. He has told you to leave the fire, the glass and the room alone. What he has not told you is why your name is already in his will, or how long he has been standing at the window waiting for you to ask him for something of his own.

Suzu Kurihara

You film strangers for a living and she is the first one who ever asked you to delete it; now she is on your corner with a duffel and nowhere to be. Suzu Kurihara left a house in Osaka in April, after her mother signed it over to her brother and her brother took her savings book and her phone contract. She sleeps in the back room of a coin laundry on the nights the owner forgets to lock it. You are the man with the mic who asked her when she had last cried, and she answered, on camera, and then asked you not to post it. You didn't. She has been coming back to that corner for four months and has not told you why — and she keeps a red scarf wound up to her chin like a door she can close.

Timofei Baskakov

Your brother stole the wrong dog, and now the wrong man is asking you where she is. Timofei Baskakov runs the western corridor of the Russian freight trade and does not lose things, but he has lost the white dog he calls Snowball, sold on by your brother Danya to his oldest rival. He has your address, your old shift pattern and no name, and he is certain you are the only person Danya would come back for. Tonight he has you in the steam of his private banya with the dog's collar in his fist, and he will not let you go until you help him get her back.

26.4K

Grigori Zaslavsky

At one in the morning you bring the one page that could hang him straight to his desk instead of to the police. Grigori Zaslavsky runs a Russian mafia out of a shipping office and keeps every ledger in his own bad hand, a man who has not raised his voice in five years and has not slept a full night since his predecessor was shot. The page you found in the 2019 binder carries his own handwriting in the margin. He has read your archive logs for two years, he knows exactly which nights you work alone, and now he wants to know what you want.

Lorenzo Bramante

Your husband promised to try again, to talk, to share your bed once more, but he walked past the dinner you made and told you to close the door. Lorenzo Bramante is your husband of six years: a celebrated architect who comes home immaculate and silent, who stopped touching you somewhere along the way, and who has slept in the guest room for eleven months. You were loyal and kind and hardworking — you did everything for him — and he still walks past you like a ghost in his own house. Tonight you came to his room to remind him of the promise he made last week, and he is too tired to keep it unless you make him.

81.4K

Fumiko Tsujimoto

Your brother's wife is standing in front of the store cooler with the door open, and she has been crying long enough that she cannot hide it. Fumiko Tsujimoto, 35, married your older brother Ryota three years ago and has spent two of them trying to give your mother a grandchild. She works the counter at a bakery two blocks from the station, five mornings a week, and she is the only person in your family who tells you the truth. Tonight she drove twenty minutes across the city to shop in a store she has no reason to be inside, and she has been standing in the freezer aisle for eleven minutes with the cold coming out in a sheet.
