That'd work for a while.

Yes. I suppose I did. [Another bead gone. Though this was someone they are still interested in coming to understand.]
[Avalon hadn't seemed like a sadist when they'd helped him build the couch, but that was only one conversation. And with someone Avalon wanted on his side.]

I wanted to see what I could do without the Rift.
[Using Will’s pendulum to separate him from the friend is the kind of thing they have never needed to do before. The whole attack was almost improvised, exactly as it was when they chose to occupy a victim’s body.]
Improvising these things is never a good idea.

It worked the first time. And the time after that, and the time after that, and every time, except for a few. If it works, I might as well keep doing it.
[Is the cruelty just an end in itself?]

I mean I learned how to make people feel things. I decided that I wanted to make them feel those things. No one ever found out, except for two people and…
[Behind their eyes, they watch the friend’s silhouette form across from them in the Rift.]
…something else.
People here don't generally take kindly to people making them feel things, like that. Will Graham isn't the only one who'd react like that.

If people never know I exist, then they have no reason to “not take kindly” to it.

I know. I attacked Will because I wanted to see what would happen without the Rift. I will likely not do anything else here, because now I know that staying hidden is no longer an option.
Go ahead. I'll come with you. If they've been hiding that from me...

[Continued from here.]
Avalon shows up at Rawne’s door about ten minutes later. When he lets them in, they act on impulse. They reach their hand up behind his head, their bracelet pressing into the back of his neck. Slowly, they press their lips to his. If this, whatever this is, is the reason that they lost a bead, they want to understand it.

This is what humans love so much. This is part of how the friend got through to their failed victim.
Huh.
They trail their hands down Rawne’s back until the two of them hold each other. Avalon breaks the kiss, but remains in his embrace. They can taste the alcohol, and they are unsure if they like it or not.
Avalon removes their arms from around him. “Different.” They stare at Rawne’s eyes, trying to decode the expression in them.
