Summary
Verso does not want this life. Maelle gave it to him anyway. And because the winner takes it all, he has no choice but to remain.
Learning to live is not an easy thing when you have spent so long existing for a purpose you never chose. It is even harder when you have to stand beside the people you once believed you had to sacrifice.
But perhaps, through bonds he never believed he could build, even someone like Verso can learn that existing is not the same as living.

Summary
Against all odds, Lumiere survived.
Maelle did her very best to restore the city and repaint everyone that she could reach - and then she left. Now the city stands, promising a future; tomorrow has finally come and Gustave... has no idea what to do with it.
For the first time in generations people have started looking towards the Continent not as expeditioners, but as settlers. There is just one problem: Nevrons still exist. If they are to ask Maelle to paint a bridge between the continent and Lumiere when she next visits, they need settlements on both its ends, under a shield dome.
But the original plans for the dome's construction have been lost and, unfortunately for Gustave, the one who might be able to help is one Verso Dessendre - the man who let him die... and the one who might just show him what tomorrow's for. But while Gustave slowly rediscovers the man all call a traitor, Verso struggles to confront the terrifying possibility that there might still be things in this world worth living for.

Summary
Father Gustave Moreau knows three things when he arrives at Saint-Élie: his flock is wealthy, his predecessor is dead, and the bishop has warned him about the Dessendres.
Verso Dessendre knows three things when he comes to Mass with blood under his nails and sin on his tongue: he killed the woman who broke him, he wants to fuck his priest, and he's not sure which sin is worse.
Father Gustave has one answer: come to me. Bleeding or whole. Just come.
What they build is a private religion—one where worship happens on knees, absolution is paid in pain, and the only miracle is the moment a sinner learns to let himself be touched gently.
Or : Verso Dessendre didn't believe in God until a priest put his mouth on him and called it prayer.

Summary
Gustave awoke to the gray light of early morning and Verso crouched beside the bed, two fingers wrapped around his wrist.
"What," Gustave managed, "are you doing."
"Your heart rate was elevated during sleep," Verso said, matter-of-factly. "Irregular breathing patterns. I wanted to ensure you were not experiencing a medical emergency."
"I was dreaming," Gustave said, with extraordinary care. "People do that."
Verso's brow creased slightly. "Oh." A pause, and something moved through his expression that resolved before Gustave could name it. "My apologies. I have logged this for future reference." He did not let go of Gustave's wrist.
"You can let go now."
"Your pulse is still elevated."
"Because you startled me awake."
Verso stared at him, and for just a moment, something like annoyance flickered across his expression.In which Gustave comes across a destroyed android in the scrapyard. When VRS-0 wakes with no memory, neither of them are prepared for what comes next.
