Summary
Lately, January had been thinking about the story of Bluebeard. It echoed unpleasantly. Especially now that he'd just discovered that the halo test that had cleared Gale of Max’s murder couldn’t possibly have been theirs, and he’d argued with them about refugees in public. Still, his chances of getting killed by his spouse were lower than, say, forty percent.
At least usually. Now it felt more like sixty.
Or,
January discovers Max's body much, much sooner.

"Should I know you?” asked the person.
“No,” said January. “My name’s January Stirling. I just found you. You fell down. I think you hit your head.”
“I think you’re right,” agreed the person. “Which means that it’s probably a bad sign that I can’t remember my name.”

“You’re going to have to start taking Ciri to school, I can’t do it any more,” Yen says over the phone. “I mean it, Geralt, if we don’t want to have to go on the lam because I’ve murdered a kindergarten teacher, this is your fucking job now. Jesus Christ. I cannot fucking stand that man.”

Summary
Day 4: Trail of Color
*
The answer should have been clear: his king preferred the sorcerer alive, obviously, since then he could be interrogated for information on the rebels. The royal torturers could dredge all they could out of his brain before he died- and then he would die, bound in nullifying chains and all alone, and it would be a mercy.
That was his king’s wish, so it was Roman’s as well. He should have been content with that, should have been a loyal soldier, oathbound as he’d been since childhood- should already have put his captive in chains to take him back-
But he couldn’t stop thinking about how the torturers might crush his glasses, or bash in that scholarly face, or break all of those ink-stained fingers.
He couldn’t stop seeing the blue splashed across the clearing.
