Edge 7 had a reputation for breaking things—boats that returned with ghosted planks, compasses that spun like indecisive beetles—but it also had a strange capacity for revealing what needed mending. People came to its ledges when maps failed, or when the city’s warm lights could no longer mask an ache. For Rafian, the edge had been both exile and cure. Years of small compromises and a single catastrophic refusal had left him with a body of scars and an inventory of regrets. The “patches” on his clothing were literal: pieces of canvas and leather taken from old sails, sewn crudely by his own hand. The metaphoric ones were deeper—pacts he’d made, apologies he’d never given, loves he’d shelved like novels never finished. High priority: A: No
