Eugene Allerton has always existed in the margins - a man of clean lines, clinical silences, and quiet resistance. In postwar Mexico City, where the air simmers with heat and hungover desperation, Eugene lives like a shadow - always present, never quite seen. But when William Lee latches onto him with obsessive longing, Eugene becomes the unwilling center of someone else's spiral.

To William, Eugene is gravity. To himself, Eugene is splintered.

This is his story - not of love, but of survival. Of how it feels to be wanted not for who you are, but for what someone sees in you. Of being queer in a time when language fails and touch feels like threat. Of guilt, of retreat, of never knowing whether he was running from William - or from the self he refused to name.

In the pages of this aching continuation, Eugene untangles the myth of desire from the reality of disconnection, telling the truth he could never say aloud. This is what it means to be disassembled. This is what it means to be known, and not survive it.
