"Sean was doing something to her, I think. There's no other reason she would have been following him like that, without even saying anything. Can you call Adrianna? I don't think I have her number." God, what if she saw what happened?

Any time now - I'm hiding in the damned bushes with a mysteriously frozen girl, and... Ruby? Carmine mentioned something about her yesterday. "Um, hello? Dear, you've caught me at kind of a bad time here..."

 Attic A body lays on something that is not a medical table, not even a laboratory table, but more of a workman's table. It's the sort of thing that you might see in a machinist's shop. Large halogen lights hang from the ceiling, illuminating the body in a way so as to produce no shadows. On the wall are a set of perfectly-organized tools: files, spacers, calipers, magnifying glasses. They are exactly the implements that you'd need to work on a clock a hundred times too big. For example, Coppelia. There is someone else in the room. For the moment, all we can see are his perfect white gloves. He stands over the girl, illuminating a pasty, youthful face. His hair is tied back in a net and he wears magnifying spectacles. One glove runs gently down Coppelia's cheek, across her neck, and over her chest. The caress ends with a flourish of the hand. One white glove retrieves a screwdriver; the other picks up a stainless steel probe. The skin is pulled up piece by piece. A tin full of screws accumulates on the tray until the boy is able to - oh very so gently - remove Coppelia's left breast plate. The process is repeated: left breast plate, right hip cover, front-right neck quarter. With the confidence that he's unraveled the first secret of the master who built this wonderful machine, the boy unscrews and removes Coppelia's brain casing. Inside are the finest possible gearings. They make up all that is Coppelia; for the moment, however, they have stopped entirely. This is likely for her benefit. Piece by piece, the boy disassembles her mind. Each component is laid on a white cloth. The boy often stops to take notes and draw sketches in a thick, blank tome. He clearly intends to reassemble this remarkable machine. It will take him days, perhaps weeks to retrieve the deep mysteries of the infinitesimal gearings and impossibly delicate balances. Taking a machine apart is easy. With enough care, a proper analysis, and a perfectly scientific mind, he will put her back together. As he likes.

"What's she saying?" Ruby leans in, absent-mindedly dabbing at her neck. "Wait, Alex, you said Sean did something to Coppelia? He's not doing anything right now. You paid him back for that." She remembers that other people don't enjoy eviscerating bullies. "I mean, I don't think he's dead, probably. You just mopped the hallway with him. Somewhat." "So what about Adrianna? Does she know about you? I think...I think maybe we should just bring her in on this."
