    Summary

    “I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”

    Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.

    “But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”

    Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.

    Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

    Summary

    “There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."

    “Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.

    “Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”

    There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.

    Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

    Summary

    “You– You can’t see any colors AT ALL???”

    “... I believe I just said that.”

    “How can you be so… so nonchalant about that!?!”

    (...Because for as long as he could remember, his world had only ever consisted of black, white and countless shades of grey).

    Summary

    "After the summer's yield, Lord, it is time
    to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.
