In The Yard, Tirso is known as a Terrier who is wired from eyebrows to paws, fixing trouble by causing slightly less trouble. Tirso insists the old world burned because somebody forgot to share, and nobody has had the heart to test it. Even the glassbirds quiet for a moment when Tirso walks under the leaning tree. Tirso just wants the soup hot, the friends close, and the sealed doors to stay sealed for at least one more season.
