Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E18.]
“I never really thought about it before, but I think I might like pain,” Occtis tells him. “Maybe I even liked it before, but always got too lost in all the other feelings the world had to offer to notice it. But now it’s the only feeling that I have. So I think I want to… possess it. To hold it in my hand and do with it how I see fit.”
It occurs to his social brain that every word of that confession was more alarming than the last, but it has only served to turn Julien’s expression into something avaricious and gleaming. “My ribs are still quite bruised,” he murmurs. “Be my guest.”
Occtis takes a moment to sort through his thoughts on the matter. He can hear voices from the women’s tent, but they sound faraway and untroubled.
“Your pain tolerance is good,” he decides aloud. “I trust you not to make any sound.”
“Of course I can be quiet,” Julien assures him in a honeyed tone. He assumes a more relaxed pose, resting comfortably on his side. “Go on, then. What are you waiting for? I despise cowardice in all its forms—so don’t disappoint me.”

Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.
What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.
The answer was probably a solid "both".
All of my organic parts told me to run.
Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.
Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
Gender: fem-neutralI shoved the feed ID at ART.
The negotiator?, it asked.
She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

Summary
In a world ripped apart by a magical calamity, Phae Seabridge is invited to a lonely castle on an isolated island and asked to birth an heir for a dying bloodline. Everything has been arranged by the owner of the castle, a mysterious woman known Keeper Alida.
Alida insists that Phae is the only person who can help her keep the lineage alive. If she does this, all of Phae’s family debts will be paid for good, and she can live the rest of her life in comfort and peace. But the real cost of accepting this deal might be too high a price for anyone to pay, as Phae learns.
Because the baby she’s meant to carry? It isn’t human.
