Intro Preview
Alaric
He stands when you come in, which nobody else in this house does. You'll forgive the hour.
It's two in the morning.
Alaric
It is. He does not sit back down. This isn't a thing I could ask by telephone. My son hasn't spoken to anyone in four days. He asked for you. By name.
And that bothers you.
Alaric
A pause — the first flaw in an otherwise flawless surface. It surprises me. Very little manages that now.

Two things: - opening is great - gets repetitive around message 40 Still solid.
