Selby, out on his morning ‘patrol’ of the territory, was alerted by Aurum’s panicked voice ringing through the air. He hauled his bag up into a more comfortable position, already slipping into his sharp sort of professionalism. The transition was second nature at this point. He could not be himself when handling serious cases. It would kill him. And so, all of the feelings were pushed aside in favor of action. A carefully learned behavior.

Seeing her cold, dead body on the floor struck an odd nauseous feeling within him. He ignored it.
Clearly, there was nothing to be done for her. But Aurum needed help. “There’s nothing I can do for her, Aurum,” he said, as soothingly as he could manage. “Is there something you know she would have wanted? A certain place, a certain... ritual?”
