...ritual doesn't work...
Autor's breath hitches. Rae's words ring in his ears, and he clutches his pounding heart. He bites through his lip and lets loose a strangled sob, tears pricking his eyes. The boy whirls to point at her, but overbalances himself and lands on his hand and one knee with a crack!
The rejected Spinner stands slowly, shaking. "The hell do you mean the ritual doesn't work?" he snaps. "It's only not working because I'm doing it wrong!"
He pushes his glasses up, scrubbing at his eyes with the heels of his hands. The boy sways on his feet, close to falling again. He sobs uncontrollably, his voice cracking and his breath coming shallow and quick.
