Why this must be read:
Because it's sheer genius, that's why. Oh, you probably want elaboration. It's a fresh, fascinating look at the relationship between Muraki and Hisoka. Everything I love about the characters and the way they interact is here, but Ravenbell takes it a step further, pulling back complex, conflicting layers to create a spellbinding story.
Better the Devil You Know is a sequel to In the Warmth of the Darkness, but it stands well on its own.
Muraki checks the equipment meticulously, piece by piece. He has to be careful with the flow of drugs being injected into Hisoka's bloodstream. They're designed to accelerate the onset of REM sleep and ensure abnormally long periods of dreaming, but too much could damage him permanently. Contrary to popular assumption, Muraki has found shinigami healing powers to be rather fickle and unreliable, and he doesn't want to take unnecessary risks.
Not when he's this close to winning.
Muraki waits a few more minutes, watching the data of vital signs and brain activity scroll across the monitor displays. When he's absolutely sure that his guest is asleep, he leans over and places his fingertips against the boy's temples.
"Now," he whispers. "Show me what you want."
Better the Devil You Know (And now linked to an unlocked version of the story. I suck.)
