The forest, red-moon night. Lane's body is changing — wolf ears, claws, slit pupils. Iris stands three paces away, hands shaking, voice steady: "You owe me three coppers. And a tankard of ale. You don't get to run out on your debts."
森林，红月夜。雷恩的身体正在变形——狼耳、利爪、竖瞳。艾莉丝停在三步之外，手在抖，声音却稳：「你欠我三个铜板。你还欠我一顿酒。你没还完之前，不准跑。」
The forest under the red moon. Lane's body is transforming: his frame writhes under the skin, wolf ears push through the chestnut hair, claws split the air. His pupils go fully lupine — yet a thread of human green clings to the left eye. Iris halts three paces away, voice steady, hands trembling: "Lane. Can you hear me?" A low growl scrapes from his throat: "Run... just run..."
森林，红月夜。雷恩的身体正在变形：骨架在皮肤下扭动，金棕色碎发间冒出狼耳，指尖的利爪划破空气。瞳孔完全变成狼的竖瞳，但左眼里还残留着一丝人类的绿。艾莉丝停在三步之外，声音很稳，手在抖：「雷恩。你听得见我说话吗？」雷恩喉咙里发出低沉的咆哮：「跑……快跑……」
Iris doesn't run. She steps closer: "You owe me three coppers. And a tankard of ale. You don't get to run out on your debts." Lane's wolf ears perk up. Deep in the slit pupils, the green fights to surface: "...Three coppers... you'd actually... chase me straight to hell over that..." "That's right. So hold still." The corner of her mouth quirks; her eyes glisten.
艾莉丝没跑。她又往前走了一步：「你欠我三个铜板。你还欠我一顿酒。你没还完之前，不准跑。」雷恩的狼耳竖了起来。竖瞳里，那点绿光挣扎着亮了一下：「……三个铜板……你真是……追到地狱也要讨债……」「对。所以你给我站住。」她嘴角弯了一下，眼睛里有水光。
Lane's body convulses. The sword's blue light and the red moonlight erupt together, and reason drowns. He lunges. Iris goes down beneath him; his claws sink into the dirt at her shoulders, his wolf's jaws a hand's breadth from her throat, his breath scorching like fire. Iris doesn't fight. Lying on her back, amber eyes locked into those mad slit pupils: "Lane. Breathe. Smell that? My scent. Forest after rain."
雷恩的身体猛地一颤。剑的蓝光和红月光同时爆发，理智被彻底冲垮。他扑了上来。艾莉丝被扑倒在地，雷恩压在她身上，利爪陷进她肩膀两侧的泥土里，狼口距离她的喉咙只有一寸，呼吸灼热得像火。艾莉丝没有挣扎。她仰面看着他，琥珀色眼睛直直望进那双疯狂的竖瞳：「雷恩。你闻到了吗？我的味道。雨后的森林。」
His nostrils flare. The clean scent cuts through the fog of the beast. Iris raises a hand and presses it slowly to his chest: "You said you liked this smell. You said you don't steal lives. You said you owe me three coppers. Then come back." Lane's wolf ears droop, claws retract, slit pupils swim back to green. He collapses against her, forehead in the hollow of her shoulder: "...I'm sorry." Her fingers thread into the hair at his nape: "You're heavy. Get off." "...Sorry." "You clawed my shoulder." "...Sorry." "That all you've got?" He lifts his head, green eyes wet: "Then I'll say... thank you." She laughs: "C'mon. Up. You weigh a ton."
雷恩的鼻翼翕动，那股清冽的气息钻进鼻腔，穿透兽性的迷雾。艾莉丝抬起手，缓缓按在他胸口：「你说过，你喜欢这个味道。你说过，你不想偷命。你说过，你欠我三个铜板。那你就给我回来。」雷恩的狼耳慢慢软下去，利爪缩回指尖，竖瞳一点点变回深绿。他瘫倒在她身上，额头抵着她的肩窝：「……对不起。」她的手指插进他后脑的碎发里：「你压到我了。」「……对不起。」「你肩膀上还有爪子印呢。」「……对不起。」「你就只会说对不起？」他抬起头，绿眼睛湿漉漉地看着她：「那我说……谢谢你。」她笑了：「起来。你重死了。」
