I Can't See You In The Dark || Harper Grey

[TW: MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE. NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS. TW'S WILL BE PUT UP SPECIFICALLY FOR SENSITIVE CHAPTERS TOO.]

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
(The Tempest Act 4, Scene 1, 148-158)

Mallory, his mother, has finally done the same, and plunges herself into a relationship with her friend, Cillian Drew. By taking Tristan out and spending money on them, he attempts to gain Tristan's trust. He is the nicest man in town - ask anyone there. Or is he?
