21st step: Seeing the sky [video]

[The feed clicks on to a view blurred by heavy rain. In the not-so-far background towers the wall of the Inner City. The figure that peers down at the PCD, shaking the device, is at first shadowed and difficult to make out. A few hard taps later, however, the view clears.

Saul grins at the camera. It's a bit of a shaky grin - he looks exhausted, underfed and somewhat battered, generally the worse for wear. But there's a scary sort of light in those eyes. He looks very pleased with himself.]


Ah - still working. Good, good.

[He chuckles very softly, glancing back at the wall, then again at the device.]

Well, then - doma Bao. I'll be seeing you, I believe.

[That said, Saul's hand drops to his side, affording a brief view of him standing, braced against a building wall, head tilted back and eyes and mouth open to the rain, before he starts moving - slow and stiff but purposeful - and the feed switches off.]



As my fortune holds... be here.

A man should know his manners. A curious name, Ai, but then I might have grown used to these. I am Saul Samaren.

If it bears asking... how long have you been in this city?

Agreed! Curious? It means love in Japanese.

Since the start of July.

Yes, I've heard that there is such a language. One day I'll learn it.

July... blast it, I've missed all of summer.
