Wholeheartedly, he waits, with his mouth curled and eyes narrowed — as though he means it, and then he sighs a laugh through his teeth and begins to draw open his coat. To tug aside clothes underneath until his fingers hold open the barriers and leave the long fissure over his heart, red as a fresh wound, exposed. He will not take it out, as though further daring the demon to come and take. ]
