[Sometimes, he thinks the execution would almost be preferable.
Almost.
But there's no way to rewrite the past, so Sunday must find some way to deal with being in the "temporary" custody of the IPC with the looming specter of Jade, when and if she decides to cash in her "goodwill" in orchestrating Sunday's freedom. Or the facsimile of it.
Admittedly, there are a few benefits to being in his position. Namely, he's more aware of the inner goings-on of the company, and he's picked up on the growing hostilities between divisions. And those who are looking to capitalize on that. If the IPC is dealing with internal struggles, there's a better chance that whenever he's handed off to his next keeper, it might be more on his own terms.
Which is how he finds himself in this very unlikely alliance, waiting for Aventurine to show up opposite him at the table once the other is finished doing whatever his previous job entailed so they can exchange information.
"This is temporary" is quickly becoming a mantra, these days.]

More than that, now that he doesn't have to deal with navigating the previous conversation, he's getting the faint impression that something had happened before Aventurine's arrival.
He doesn't like acknowledging it, doesn't even like thinking about it, but their similarities do give him a crumb of insight into someone otherwise inscrutable. And he can recognize the release of tension, the slight relaxation when there's no longer a metaphorical dagger pointed directly at one's throat. He's felt it plenty of times maintaining his position in the Family, after all.
Maybe Aventurine's tardiness had a reason?
He tucks that away to ponder over properly later. The quicker he understands the real goings on of the IPC the better.]
