    Summary

    Pantalone draws a shaky breath. "I was in your office earlier," he begins, "looking for a copy of your will. You don't have a will. Did you know that?"

    Dottore says nothing. Pantalone takes a drag of his cigarette and continues.

    "One of your subordinates came in looking for something. He reeked of antiseptic. I had to send him away."

    Because he smelled like antiseptic?

    "Because he smelled like you."

    Alternatively: The funeral proceedings of a man who dared to fly too close to the sun. Forsaken by all, survived by one.

    Summary

    What was Dottore going to do then, pin him against the door? The man was half a head shorter even in those hideous boots — and that was Pantalone being generous.

    Dottore took another step forwards, ignoring the height difference as his presence completely dominated that of the banker. Pantalone had never felt smaller in his life. He swallowed thickly, wondering if that was how a rabbit appeared before a fox. A rabbit, however, did not have the advantage of being able to talk himself out of any problem, so maybe his situation was not as dire as he thought.

    Sometimes, all one needs to realise his feelings for the other is a sense of loss. Other times, when those feelings had long been accepted and concealed, the horrifying news might lead to unexpected consequences.
