Summary
❝ Yeah, but your ... the agent pauses, as if searching for his words. Your friend Mr Mendal was quite convincing. He said you were a serious person and that he could vouch for you. This greatly reassured them and—
_ He did what ?! ❞I speak louder than I would have liked, which draws almost all the eyes in the open space to me. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Elenda leaning back in her chair. Our eyes meet and she raises a questioning eyebrow at me. I make a vague gesture with my hand, as if to say that it's nothing, that she needn't worry.
Because it's nothing. This guy's probably just messing with me. He's probably trying to get back at me for the stunt I pulled with Jason — well, more me than Jason — and the little show we gave him. That's it, I can't think of any other reason.
At least, none that would explain why Jason would do this for me.

Summary
A coda for episode seven: Akk takes Ayan to his secret island. It’s all downhill from there, as Akk realizes his island might not be the refuge from Ayan he believed it could be.
--
"Akk forces his gaze away as sweat drips down Ayan’s body, sliding down his temple, the curve of his calf. Instead, he presses his palm to the sun-warmed stone, feeling the heat seep into his skin. His eyes drift over the cliffs rising before him, the tangled roots, the briny air thick with memory. Something stirs deep inside him. A pull that went beyond nostalgia.
This has always been his quiet refuge. He can almost hear his father’s voice in the wind, feel the stir of the summer's past shifting with the tide. It’s more than land. It’s part of him, his own heart carved into earth, as much a part of him as breath and bone."
