After his stint with Miasma, Nureyev's debt collectors decide he's run late on one too many payments. As such, Nureyev never gets the chance to send Buddy his resume. Instead, he spends that year as a slave to Solar Medical Solutions. --- Juno looks up at the bed. Nureyev has turned to stare down at him. His edges catch the glow of the stars outside.

The fury at the people who hurt Nureyev—how useless Juno feels, that he couldn’t find Nureyev sooner. That he can’t seem to help him now. “What did they give you?” Juno rasps.
