    Summary


    if we die at the same time, does it still scare you?

    Perhaps it was his damned luck, Aventurine thought to himself. And he should’ve known better, that this kind of love — the type that comforted him, benefitted him — could never have found him without him needing to pay some kind of price in return.

    Mother Goddess, he prayed silently, a warm tear tracing the side of his face. Please let this be real, because I don’t think my heart can handle this being a dream.

    Summary

    “I guess it’s your turn then, right?” Kakavasha said, ending their game of chicken, “Shoot.”

    Shoot. Ha. That was a pretty apt word for the question she was about to ask. It felt just as piercing as a gunshot.

    Vashara forced her voice to come out steady and not concerned, “What is the relationship between you and Jade?”

    Shock flitted across Kakavasha’s face. He looked at her like she was crazy, like the question was utterly ridiculous. He had some nerve.

    It was obvious Kakavasha and Jade had more of a relationship than they led on. He spoke of her constantly, and mentioned working with her all the time. And sure, maybe Vashara wanted some dirt on an IPC big wig. But Vashara was a mercenary and was doing a fine enough job researching Jade on her own. Really, she just wanted to make sure Kakavasha was safe around Jade. Or, that is, as safe as he could be with such an evil woman.

    Maybe he was just surprised she had the nerve to ask.

    Kakavasha was silent for a few more moments before finally, he laughed, short and uncomfortable, “Weird. It’s super weird. Okay, I think we’re done for the day!”

    Vashara and Aventurine have a conversation they’ve been avoiding.

    Summary

    Albedo, usually one for blunt and quick actions, was struggling to determine how he should continue. On one hand, marking the death as suicide, as it very much appeared to be, would immediately close the case and give the bereaved family some much needed closure. But could Albedo really do that when so many things didn't line up?

    Sitting back in his chair Albedo let out a deep breath. He scanned down the page reading the provided boxes.

    ...

    He was really going to do this wasn't he?

    Picking up quill with a steady hand, Albedo marked the fourth and final box with a neat cross mark.

     

    Death under suspicious circumstances.

     

    Albedo stood, waiting for the ink to dry before gently picking the piece of paper up.

    Albedo had a new assignment. As head of the Knights of Favonius Investigation Unit, Albedo was not going to let the cause of Diluc Ragnvindr's death go unknown.

    When Diluc is reported dead as what appears to be a suicide, Jean struggles to keep it together, Kaeya is left in shambles, and Albedo begins to uncover the web of secrets and lies that Diluc left behind.

    Summary

    After everything that had happened on Penacony, he’s now caught between an odd set of feelings.

    The lingering taste of the deaths that he had experimented with in the Dreamscape is addicting. The feeling of the knife cutting through his flesh, the rope around his neck, the exhilarating rush of air as he fell – maybe he’d had liked to live in that version of Penacony simply to kill himself over and over and over again.

    But then there’s those few words that have been stuck in his mind.

     

    Do stay alive. I wish you the best of luck.

    Aventurine wants to live, but he also wants to die. He balances these feelings in a slightly unhealthy way.
