"There's a map on your skin," The oracle says. Her fingers trace the aftermath of stray bullets and lit cigarettes and inkstained needles. "I want to read it. Everywhere you've been. Everything you carry."
"Why?" The soldier asks, inhales slow then sharp as the oracle's lips find her palm. Her other hand twitches, bandaged and bloody. Phantom pain for a phantom weapon, paranoia digging into her bones. "I'm still on-mission..."
"Mission's scrubbed, you're in the dark. But I need you alive. I want you alive."
"Why?" Her voice is brittle, hollow.
"...sentimental reasons," the oracle says, leaning in, murmuring nothings.
