Woof, last chapter was an absolute doozy. Gibson is gone, Hadrian is alone. Or is he? Will hope spring anew or is Hadrian destined to an anagnost's cell? First, he is going to his mom's resort where he will spend the last few weeks on Delos! Relaxing, avoiding hanging out with his little brother. You know, teenager stuff.

It is clear that Crispin is not who Hadrian believes him to be in part. We discuss how Hadrian views Crispin and how much daylight there is in what Crispin says and the verbiage Hadrian uses to describe him.
