Summary
Seven hundred years old and carrying two lives in a single head, Jefferson is the Order's Templar: the man at the boundary, the keeper of doors; the one who stands between the people he loves and the thing coming for them. He tells the whole of it — the Wound and the Words that hold it, and the found family assembling across hundreds of years around a plain brown cup. He is the one with the flat, accurate voice who has learned to say hard things plainly and to file every grief behind a locked door.
But there is a wrongness in the telling that only his doubled head can feel: an absence with edges, a rescue that isn't coming, a marker missing from the formation. This is the account of what that absence cost, of presence achieved and proven worth its price, of a wall taken down on purpose, and of the two words the whole thing comes to rest on.
