Chapter song: Fracture - Stephan Moccio
The two men sat on the couch, talking about their respective days and what Kenneth encountered inside the gate.
Lucien's eyes immediately fell on his arm once he mentioned getting scratched by the Entity. He couldn't believe Kenneth hadn't told him about his injury sooner. Then again, that was exactly the kind of thing the Anchor would do.
Suffer in silence.
He shook his head, reaching for the arm.
They'd since changed out of their uniforms, and Kenneth was wearing one of his looser t-shirts he'd insisted on changing into. He stared at the extended limb. Smooth, peaches and cream skin greeted him, free of any markings or blemishes. You wouldn't have been able to tell the skin had been clawed out had you not been made aware of what happened. That was how simulated gates worked. You felt the lingering pains and aches later, but nothing that would leave a trace. Lucien felt a mix of emotions.
