“Right. Abbacchio cares about Bruno’s comfort now. Okay.

Bruno remains a water-resistant shadow all the while.

And Abbacchio may or may not work faster for his presence there.”

“It’s all the time Bruno needs. He’s crouched at the zombie’s side, a fist punching clean through that rotting skull, coming back with a handful of brains.

Abbacchio really needs to catch his breath. He’s fairly certain that he’s entering something like a state of shock…”

“Abbacchio’s heart leaps into his throat at the sight of Bruno there, slumped on the ground at the side of the toilet. Sagging so far down, like he’s trying to disappear into the tile, can’t hold himself upright.

His face is green-pale, much more so than usual, and that purplish scar on his cheek pulls tight at the skin around it. The only spot of real color is his mouth, settled a little bit open and stained red all over, as if Bruno had scrubbed a hand across it at one point, smearing what has to be blood across his cheek. Even the blue of his eyes is dull and dead.”
