Summary
Ten years have passed since the fall of Babel, and whispers now swirl of a new invention being constructed in Britain. An invention capable of restoring uncontested British hegemony.
Hermes can not allow such a thing to come to fruition. And neither can Victoire. With her return to Britain, she places herself on a collision course with not only the empire, but the last remaining vestige of her life at Babel.
The final act in a tragedy a decade delayed is now set to play out, as Victoire and Letty finally draw the circle the four of them forged together back at Babel to its final inevitable close.

Summary
Robin finds himself aching to speak the language his heart knows but his mouth refuses to translate. He can think of the etymologies of the words 'express' or 'feel' or 'emotion' but this, felt better untranslated. He tries to think of a match-pair but he realizes he shouldn't.
Because what was the point? For Robin, it’s always been like this. Some things were meant only to be felt, not named, not acknowledged.

Summary
The Chinese character ài (爱) carries the English meaning of “to love or to be fond of.” It’s not much different from its English counterpart: it’s what a father tells to his son, his wife. Or so Robin has been told.
But there was one thing that confused little Robin. The Chinese character for friend (友) was always present in ài. No matter what era of documents he scoured through, there wasn’t a single instance where ài lost its friend.
So perhaps he never learned the distinction between “friend” and “love.” Perhaps he had intertwined the two concepts in his mind so deeply it had, unbeknownst to him, changed the way he viewed his world. So much so that when he was presented with a friend, he thought it was love.
Or perhaps his feelings for that brown eyed boy were genuine. Perhaps the only reason he thought it was a friendship was because he was merely confused by the intricacies of language. It wouldn’t be the first time it had occurred.
He would die without an answer, left only with a feeling so intense it would follow him past his final breath.

Summary
Ramy can't take his eyes off Robin, which leads to an unexpected confession of their feelings for one another.
...
"Ramy’s pulse quickened. So Robin had felt it too. The unspoken yet overwhelming bond between them. Not the bond they shared among their cohort. No. This was love, and Ramy wasn’t going to let it pass them by." -

Summary
ramy heals.
it’s messy, and he bleeds more often than he should, losing a shit ton of blood. but the progress is there, and with robin’s crappy mending skills it’s honestly a wonder. a lot more than he could’ve hoped for. despite everything, despite ramy talking to him on every occasion he is able to, despite ramy desperately trying to joke – and the jokes aren’t even that bad, better than one could’ve expected from a half-conscious person soaked in blood – robin is still a panicking mess.
a fix-it where ramy lives, basically.

Summary
“Do you love him?”
Had Victoire asked a question about Seneca’s writings, translations of Cicero’s works or the best equivalent of the Greek word philotimo, Robin could have answered with ease, nearly subconsiously, almost instinctively. But this was the one question he had to think before answering, or worse, the one question that he didn’t know the answer to.
***
Victoire started to think there was something more between Robin and Ramy. Seeing Robin has no intention to act on it, she decides to talk to him about it. -

Summary
“Ramy,” he started, but paused, not knowing exactly what he wanted to ask. Ramy didn’t look worried, though, just prompting. “Why am I not scared? Why doesn’t this make me nervous?”
“Beats me, Birdie. But I don’t think I could be scared of you.”

Summary
He presented him with the origami in his hands, cradled like it was something precious.
“It’s a crane.”
“It’s beautiful.”
“Yes, it is.”
Their eyes met, and something hung heavy in the air. Ramy spoke again, his voice tender and oh-so vulnerable. “Robin, are you going to give one to the girls too?”
He opened his mouth to speak but thought better of it. It seemed the logical thing to do, to give one to the girls as a token of friendship, but as Ramy’s gaze burned his skin, he got the impression that this was not the answer that Ramy wanted.
“No. No, I’m not.”
