Summary
He remembers the first time Kaz Brekker offered him a place, back when he was hiding by the canals, the damp stone pressing cold into his back. The offer came with a price he understood immediately: the slow erosion of whatever morality he still carried. He had said he did not like hurting innocent people. In answer, Kaz had given him nothing but a raised eyebrow and a flat, unimpressed stare.
“There is no innocence in the Barrel,” Kaz had said. “And your morality will not keep you alive here.”
He should have realised the real reason Kaz Brekker employed him, but his wit could never rival the devil’s.
——or: a story of revealed secrets, wise friends and a new-found belief that the "trick to falling, is getting back up".
