    Summary

    The Town and the Kin, an Odongh had once whispered, were sewn together wrong. The plague had torn those old connections apart, and it was left to Artemy Burakh to suture the severed halves back together in a better way. Blood could, and would, flow through them as one common body. And it would, and must, start with solidarity.

    This, too, could be its own form of utopia.

    In which Artemy unionises the Termitary workers, organises a strike, and finds a new way to unite the Town.

    Summary

    For all his life, Daniil has considered his work both wife and husband, with no thought to seeking either among his peers. Having borne limited witness to the trials of romantic entanglements, he has only ever considered himself lucky that none has ever come to him. He never imagined that his growing closeness with Artemy might resemble such a connection, grateful for Artemy's care and support and friendship through the months since the plague and expecting nothing else.

    For his part, Artemy has been battling more tender feelings for Daniil—and when a misunderstanding brings their contradictory assumptions to a head, they must figure out how to honor their connection, and make a life for themselves, despite the differences in their natures.

    When Andrey Stamatin gets wind of all this, it seems at first to be nothing more than an opportunity for humiliation. But strangely, unexpectedly, it might be the solution they have both been looking for...

    Summary

    The first thing that struck Artemy—upon his waking—was discomfort.
    The second thing that struck Artemy—upon realizing that his wrists were thoroughly bound together in front of himself—was that The Bachelor was more than likely responsible for it.

    ___

    In which The Bachelor interprets an offhanded joke a little too literally, but The Haruspex decides to roll with it.

    Summary

    Or, Pathologic 3, the Haruspex Route.

    Daniil Dankovsky is having an impossible time in the Town-on-Gorkhon; time itself has broken, smashed mirrors hold the key to rewriting any choice or retaking any path, and his eternal enemy Death can't claim a hold on him anymore.

    But outside of Dankovsky's personal miracle or madness, another protagonist—no longer centerstage in the spotlight—still has his own path to walk. Linearly, one step at a time, one day after the other, as it ever was. The Haruspex's duty is neverending: Children to protect, a cure to discover, the Kin to lead, and now a rogue Inquisitor stepping on stage before her usual cue and dragging him into her own convoluted personal schemes too.

    And, for all he'll need to work together with the strange Bachelor if they're going to get through this, it's increasingly clear that something is wrong with Dankovsky too.
