Summary
Artemy once promised Daniil he would follow him to trial if the situation ever arose. Looks like he turned out to be a liar. But perhaps he is willing to hide Daniil from the nosy inspectors looking for him?
As far as the capital knows, Daniil killed himself in the steppes after the bombardment of The Polyhedron, and the whole town seems willing to corroborate this.
But a mysterious dark-haired man has shown up at the house of the Haruspex to help him restore the town... and he bears a remarkable resemblance to the big-city doctor.
---
The healers would like to believe the town's troubles stopped with the plague, however this would prove to be a naiive and misguided hope. The townsfolk have burned through their winter reserves and cattle and must find a way to survive the upcoming winter.Series

Summary
“But what if I change into something worse?” Daniil bowed his head, gaze dropping to the Crowstone’s back. “What if I become something unrecognizable? I already feel it sometimes. Like the real Bachelor Dankovsky died a long time ago, and I’m just the thing that stepped out of his grave and kept walking.”
or
There are consequences to meddling with time. Bachelor Daniil Dankovsky finds himself trapped in a special kind of hell, searching endlessly for the solution to an impossible task while memories of his past slowly slip away. A single frail human cannot be expected to overcome such a terrible foe, regardless of what special power he may have stumbled into by "happenstance". He will have to unite with others if any piece of himself is to survive past the twelfth day.

Summary
Daniil cleared his throat.
“The Powers That Be are the embodiment of order. There are always threads in the universe that dare to hang loose, and like a moth to a flame, they are always there to tug on them. The Powers That Be unravel everything simply to see what falls.”
“So what? The plague is... it's all gone.”
Daniil noted the slight tremor in Artemy’s voice. Artemy Burakh also lost many things in the chaos. He must also suffer from the nightmares. He must.
“They wanted me to die in the plague along with Aglaya and Block and yet, the more information they received from us, the more they urged us to cure the incurable. To preserve the town. Do you hear me? They will not leave a town of miracles alone. It may not be right away… but they will send someone.”

There's no choice but to build a new life and live with the consequences, and so they do. But the events of the plague left deep wounds with the pain and fear of loss ever looming.
