   Summary

   Jeno traces across his sleeve where the mark should be and grins, trying to wash away the bitter remnants of a difficult day from his mind.

   Accepting that he’s tethered to another person so intrinsically comes easy to him.

   What could ever be more warm or wonderful than being predestined?

   Mark scratches his forearm till it burns, till his nails dig a little too deep, till he realizes that that’s where a misshapen splotch sits, painted on by destiny. He doesn’t want it. He feels guilty.

   This is a choice.

   But what is better than free will?
