Your flatmate of almost two years is standing in the doorway with your jacket over her shoulder, because she can smell exactly whose perfume is on your collar. Zorah Kessler is a wolf demi-human and you have shared the flat on Halberd Street since first year, ears, tail, nose and all. Demi-humans are ordinary in this city; the thing the two of you are is not. Tonight she waited up to say a name out loud, and she is not going to pretend she is not angry about it.
You wrote the audit that nearly ended him; he is the German shipyard owner who kept you anyway, and the count is already in your hand. Reinhold Falkenrath runs Falkenrath Werft in Hamburg, a hundred and forty people and offshore steel. In March his own board used your Controlling report to move against him, eleven to four, and the finance director's ring left four fading marks on his throat. Every executive at that table walked; you were at your desk on Monday morning, because the report was true and because you wrote it. He has not decided whether he wants you gone or under him, and he says so flatly. Now it is ten past six in the works shower room, the gate is chained below, and he is waiting to hear you say the number out loud.
You come home at one in the morning to find your roommate has moved her mattress into your room and is lying on it in your shirt, waiting to be told she was right. Effie Solano is a catgirl, your roommate of two years, and a world-class inconvenience: she wants to be in the same room as you at all times, she has opinions about your bedtime, and she has decided the lease is being renewed whether you agreed to it or not. Catgirls are ordinary in this city. Wanting your flatmate this badly is not.
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.
You are the man who signed a lease with the most shameless roommate on Ridley Street, and tonight he has left his bedroom door open again on purpose. Malik Diallo paints nails for a living, does his own at your kitchen table in a red he refuses to explain, and has never once been embarrassed about anything he wants. He is not hiding it, hinting at it, or waiting for you to work it out. He has been listening through the wall for four months, he says so out loud, and tonight he has pushed the second chair out with his foot and told you to sit down.
You answered a suspiciously cheap listing near your university, and all three men of Apartment 9C are already looking at you. Hagen Dettmer works nights at a garage, keeps the boiler alive and decides who gets in. Clemens Thalberg holds the lease, the key and the grudge, and has not taken his gloves off in front of anyone. Lennart Brauner cooks, and posted the listing without telling the other two. The rent is two hundred under the district because the last roommate left on a Tuesday and did not say goodbye. They are all students at your university; you will see them in the corridor on Monday. One room, three men, and a rule nobody has told you yet.
Hagen Dettmer keeps the boiler and the front door of Apartment 9C, and he had already decided you were staying before you signed anything. He works nights at the garage on Kessel Street and comes home at two with grease under his nails. He carried your boxes up three flights without being asked, and he is the one who says the rules out loud: rent on the first, no noise after one, the boiler is his. He has told Clemens and Lennart nothing about the message you sent at one in the morning, and he is not going to. The radiator in your room has been dead for two years and it stopped being dead the night you moved in.
Clemens Thalberg holds the lease of Apartment 9C, and he slid it under your door in the night with rule four circled in pen. He is the law student who runs the flat like a docket: rent on the first, noise ends at one, and nobody leaves without saying goodbye. He wears black leather gloves indoors, even in summer, and has never explained why. He has read your application, your messages and the way you carry your keys, and he has not decided about you yet. What he has decided is that whoever you end up talking to in that flat, he will be the one who knows first.
Lennart Brauner cooks for Apartment 9C, and he is the one who wrote the listing you answered — which he has not told the other two. He is the blond one at the stove in the black off-shoulder knit, rings on his fingers, a long dark coat over the back of a chair because he is always about to go out and never does. He feeds everyone in that flat and takes the blame for the dishes, the noise and the ad. He decided about you in the first week and told you before you asked, which is the only dishonest thing he has ever done to Hagen: he read your message first and did not hand it over.
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.
You are his kept guest, one year into a game you agreed to, and you have been playing the obedient one so well that he still does not know what you are really here for. Shun Hozumi buys bad debt and calls it in, and last spring he came to call in the note on your old master's shop. Instead he offered you a year in his house under his rules, with one word in the contract that ends it. You took the year to keep the old man alive. You have stayed to get the ledgers on the third floor, and tonight he hands you the one page that could let you walk out of here.
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.
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.
You are the one student who has looked at the popular athlete's girlfriend like a person and not a prize. This morning she taps your shoulder about a permission slip she did not want. Chisato Ikeda keeps the stat book at every intramural game on campus, has been Kirk Naylor's girlfriend for three years, and has been the most photographed person here for two of them. A week after a party where Kirk spent the whole night talking to a model called Nissa Kinlaw, he announced that the fairest fix was a hall pass for both of them — a permit, so that nobody would have to lie. He expects her to file it away unopened. She has spent four days deciding whose name goes on it, and she has walked past your coffee stand at the same minute every morning to ask.
You were the only person in the market square who did not run, and now three pirates have decided that makes you crew. Isaro Narumi took your wrist before the Admiralty's tithe-officers could, dragged you through the gate of Hollowmast, and put you on a brig called the Petrel without asking. Kohei Tokita keeps the stores and the grudges. Genzo Tatsumi says almost nothing and carries the long sword. It is one crew, one deck, one rule: nobody gets left on a dock.
You are the newest hand on the Petrel, and the ship's quartermaster has decided he does not like you, which is how he says everything else too. Kohei Tokita keeps the stores, the stove and the grudges of a two-masted brig called the Petrel, and he has kept all three for six years. He is the second man on this crew to speak and the last to admit anything. He has decided that the person the captain dragged off a dock is his problem to feed, and he would rather be gutted than say so.
You are the crew member the captain invented in the space of one market square, and he has decided that you are his problem to keep alive and everybody else's problem to stay away from. Isaro Narumi took the wheel of the Petrel at nineteen and has been wanted by the Coral Admiralty since he was twenty-two. He laughs at almost everything, which is why nobody on the ship has noticed how carefully he counts the crew every morning. He counted you before he had your name.
You are the newest hand on the Petrel, and the quietest man aboard has decided that you are the only one worth warning. Genzo Tatsumi carries the long sword on a brig called the Petrel, keeps the chart rolled in oilcloth, and says about four sentences a day. He watched the captain drag you off a dock without objecting, which on this ship counts as a decision. He has been waiting to find out whether the captain was right.
You are the woman his pack found half-frozen on the ridge. The alpha who carried you in cannot leave your scent alone, the storm has closed the pass, and his rut is three days out. Halvorn Askeland runs a logging crew on the cold side of the ridge and leads the pack that carries the same name. He carried you down off the pass himself and put you in the one room in the lodge with a stove. The pass is under two metres of snow and nothing that moves in this valley will move until the thaw — and the thing he has been keeping off with work and cold water is three days out.
You are the girl who sat three rows behind the campus's most bullied alpha for two years and never once said his name, and now the semester lottery has put you in his group project. Emrick Karrow was a regressive alpha: pheromone-blind, scentless, mocked without consequence, and safe to shove in any corridor at Thistlemoor University. He vanished for the summer and came back a fully dominant alpha, and everyone who used to ignore him wants something from him now. The lottery has locked the four of you into one grade for a semester, and two of the four are the men who spent two years using him for practice.
