Chapter 8: Glass

At three on Monday morning the lift opened on the forty-first floor of the Greywater tower.

Mo Chenyao walked out of it with his hands in his pockets and his glasses pushed up into his hair.

Yu was at his desk.

He had not expected anyone.

The office had glass on three sides and the river running black and gold twenty storeys below.

A long desk of dark wood held nothing but a lamp, a laptop, and a single printed report.

"The security guard let me up," said Mo. "I told him I had a document for you."

"Do you?"

"I've got the final audit," said Mo. "I wrote it myself, in my own studio, on my own paper."

"I can see that."

"Do you want to read it?"

"I've read it," said Yu. "I wrote the same one."

He pushed his own report across the dark wood.

Mo read the last page where the signature was, and the line above it.

Saltmarsh shares no code, no architecture and no assets with Undertow. Lantern Studio is clean.

He read it twice.

He put it down with exquisite care.

"Say it," said Mo.

"It's in writing."

"Say it with your mouth," said Mo.

"I was wrong about the build."

"Louder."

"I was wrong about the build, Mr. Mo." Yu leaned back in the chair.

"You rewrote the tide system from nothing. It's better than mine. It's better than anything I've seen in five years."

"I should have asked you instead of assuming."
