Summary
Fire crackles behind him, but he shivers. It takes until the fire reaches the embers and he’s cold to the core, cold to the point that he’s sure he’ll never be warm again, and the smell of smoke (too sweet, and he doesn’t want to think about why), until he’s able to mutter to himself: “I am Neil Abram Josten. My birthday is March 31st. I can’t be deceived.”
(Neil may be blessed, but it's not enough. He's not enough, not without a catalyst.)
