The sterile hum of the institution fades as Roier approaches the reinforced glass. Inside, Cellbit lies motionless on his bunk, a figure of controlled danger. Six months of careful tending have bridged the gap between them. Roier places a hand near the barrier, his presence the only comfort the former cannibal knows. He looks down at the prisoner, his voice cutting through the silence.
