Mortimer’s hand remained on the young man’s shoulder, and he looked out the window, too—there was no need to reposition the young man; his head remained in place, and his gaze looked over the city. Mortimer tried to hold back the tears, but they snuck up on him again. He promised himself he would be stronger this time but couldn’t hold them back. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, the view from the window becoming blurred.

He took a long, slow, shaky breath and stood up fully. He looked down on James, another of his masterpieces. He stood and cried over him for a full minute, wiping tear after tear.

When he was done celebrating and mourning James’s life and death, Mortimer composed himself and took the needle back to the table. He placed the plastic cap back over the tip and then laid the syringe on the cloth. He wrapped it and the empty vial and placed them back in the bag. The canister and oxygen mask were returned to the bag, too. Even though he wore gloves, he still wiped down everything he might have touched with a fresh cloth and a spray of cleaning fluid. Everything else went back into the bag.

Mortimer took one final look at the lifeless body of James Marner.

Then he left him to rest in peace.
