Years later, Robert's curiosity and hunger for easy money lead him to spy on his enigmatic guardian, and what he discovers sends him down a dark path that will eventually cross Mr. Ishveli's justice once more. This seven-page tale asks whether salvation is still possible for a man raised in the shadow of cosmic vengeance.
