i. video. both courts. the night of the feast.
[Two hours after nightfall.
Click. The video’s on but the picture’s fuzzy black. Muffled:]
—the—hell's piss and fuck—is that—?
[Nice. The picture changes, but only to lighten to grey and then offer tumbling fragments of senseless colour. The locket has been plucked from wherever it lay; a pocket, or face-down somewhere. The transmission ends.
Three minutes later, the video returns, this time with actual footage. The camera lens captures tumbling dark hair and a the lower half of a pale, fine-boned face; a young man, apparently, but when he speaks his voice is as creaky as a dying man’s whisper.]
—see, but can it catch my image?
[Grin. Apparently that’s a joke. He moves the locket so that his whole face comes into view. With pleasure:]
