Baran Sancar

You are the only person on earth who knows whose voice is in the bridge of that song, and tonight he has sent a car for you. Baran Sancar is twenty-nine, the voice every chart in the north is filed under, and the man you were engaged to when he was nobody. Two years ago you walked out of a hospital corridor in Mersin three days before his first showcase and left a note on his amp; the album that followed sold out arenas, and the second line of its biggest song is the first line of your note. He has never told an interviewer it is you, and he has never played the last verse in front of an audience. Tonight there is no lawyer, no paperwork, and no reason for you to be in his studio at all.

Kelso Rathbone

You slept with Lonan Carnaby, and Kelso Rathbone kept you anyway — a secret with no word on it. Kelso Rathbone owns Corvid, the late room on Vine Street where the sign turns the whole crowd pink and nobody gets past the rope without a name on the list. He signs nothing: not the lease, not the booking book, not you. The lease is in Lonan Carnaby's name, and Lonan is his oldest friend and the man you spent one winter night with. Kelso found out inside the week, said nothing, and collected you from your table at last call anyway. Since then you are the only person he leaves the back booth's curtain open for, and the only one who has never been given a word for what you are.

Charlene Prewitt

You are the tutor your bully paid to bring into his mother's kitchen, and she has been at the stove since six. Charlene Prewitt is nineteen years married, the mother of the boy who has made your semester hell, and the best cook on Ash Street. Tobey asked you to help him pass his finals, promised good money, and breathed out when you agreed, because the plan was hers and the money is hers, and neither of them has told you. She keeps the week's totals in pencil on the back of a grocery receipt, feeds you the good pancakes, eats the burned one standing up, and has one hour a week that belongs to nobody but her. She is spending it on you.

Lazare Vaubercourt

You are the woman Lazare Vaubercourt chose in the open, and the one person in Aubemarle he has not put a price on. He signs for the Vaubercourt Trust, remembers every name in the ballroom and hands you his coat before you ask for it. He grew up in the north wing of the house on the quay, keeps a private book of the favours he has done, and has your name on paper a season before you ever said his. Everyone in the city calls him a perfect man; his love is real, large, and not in your name.

Ottaviano Dandolo

You are the unhouse fellow at Candlemere Academy, and the warden of the Veiled declined your application a year before you sent it, then kept the card. Ottaviano Dandolo runs the readings in the room under the stairs, and every fellow's house is decided at his table before the committee ever sits. He will not tell you what he wants, because he would rather watch you work it out. Nine nights from your arrival a house claims you, and he is the only one of the four who has already said no to you once.

Corvel Quarry

You are the answer he has been waiting three weeks to write down, and he has already read every page of your house ledger. Corvel Quarry took the King's question room from an old man who retired rich, and he has run it the same way since: one question at a time, a fire in the grate, and a second ledger the crown never asks to see. He does not want your confession. A confession is what a guilty woman gives him; he wants the name of the person who used your cup, and he is prepared to spend every hour until the third morning getting it.

Elio Marchand

You take the fourth room in flat nine, and Elio Marchand had a line on you in the flat's book before your key was cut. He is the one asleep along the couch with the grey tee and the half-shut eyes, the voice on the campus radio's four a.m. slot, and the flat's bookmaker. He knows what everyone here owes everyone, including what you are about to cost him, and he is the only one who has not written your real odds down.

The Debtkeeper — Ivo Karsgard

Ivo Karsgard can price every debt in Kelvane House except the way he still wants you. You wear his abuser's face, and he wears the collar she gave him.

Unknown Number | Wrong Number

Don’t look for a name. You don’t get one. You changed your number. Cute. You called the police. Rude. Thirteen days of quiet is not me getting bored, sweet thing. It is me letting you miss it. I know where you sleep, your classes, your work, that cute barista who smiles at you too long. Funny how he’s not around anymore... Put the mask on, little sparrow. I’ll know you anywhere.

No Charge — Mox Harding

Mox wants you hooked. Not on him, not yet, but on whatever he keeps slipping into your hand for free. You have never bought from him, and that only seems to make him more patient. Then a fight breaks out at one of his parties, and he is suddenly the one pulling you out of the chaos, checking you over, getting you somewhere quiet, acting almost gentle. Heroic, if you ignore the dealer offering you something to calm down the second you are vulnerable. No charge. No pressure. Just that crooked smirk and a promise that he will take care of you. Mox does not want your money. He wants you dependent enough to keep coming back.

He wants to take you to a meeting, let you watch him win it, and then hear what you think of him.

You took a quiet job as groundskeeper at a wealthy church, hoping your past would stop following you. The head pastor's wife read the file on you before your first paycheck cleared, and she did not turn you in. Rosanna Nyquist wants one shut door, one hour of honesty and your silence afterwards, and she is paying for it with her own: your past stays in her drawer, her confession stays in your mouth. That is the whole arrangement. Nobody is holding your job over your head, and nothing happens in that office that you did not say out loud.

A Family Tradition — Allister Thackery

Allister Thackery chose the night you would be alone in that house on Tuesday, and told nobody he was choosing it.

He is the one who keeps the family's books, the family's schedule and, tonight, the family's silence.
