The Absence of You is a story written by shukyou and illustrated by TOFU. It originally ran in Issue 77 at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/the-absence-of-you/.
Summary
“He’s coming to,” said a voice Lucian almost recognized – almost, and then even that was gone.
A string of murders must be solved by a would-be assassin who can't remember the last two years of his life and the magician who took those memories from him.
Author's Notes
The title comes from the song 'Crushed' by Front 242.
Many thanks to Kimyō Tabibito for tarot advice.
