Summary
They can’t sleep.
It is the images that keep flashing in their mind no matter how many times they try to cram their eyes shut. They did everything. Threw It in the cage dragged Berdly to the hospital crawled to Noelle rolling on their back to show the soft vulnerable parts of them, sorry sorry sorry sorry and they don’t think she bought prank—know now there is no way to convince her of that again—and when they tugged out the thorn she winced but somehow didn’t flinch away from them, after it all, after It.
Their hand reaching for Noelle’s. Shaking. Trying to plead run with every single part of them. They weren’t fast enough. Because then It was there and Its words were thorns stabbing their cheeks, Noelle was terrified, Noelle was freezing, please not her hurt me do anything to me leave her alone leave her alone, but they couldn’t even scream by then. Just begging. Rolling over to It. I’ll be good. I’ll be so good. Just please don’t hurt her.

Summary
For centuries Castorice has wandered the lands of Amphoreus, haunted by the curse of Thanatos. Death has been her ever-present companion, leading to a life of loneliness and pain. Though she found friends and comrades amongst the Chrysos Heirs, it did little to quell the longing in her heart to know another touch- to feel the warmth of life and love. Over time, she buried those feelings deep in her heart, allowing her the opportunity to live peacefully at the very least.
Yet when a stranger from beyond the skies appears on Amphoreus, one filled with warmth and brimming with the vim and vigour of life, Castorice finds herself forced to contend with the feelings she buried so long ago. However, exploring those feelings won't be so easy- that stranger from beyond the sky, Stelle, has her own complicated with death. Together, they will attempt to navigate their complex feelings about death, and in doing so, find comfort in one another.

Summary
Still, like a selfish child, Kafka wants more. She wants more than just to see or to watch, like she’s some voyeur staring through a window into another life. She wants to hold, to feel, and to love.

Summary
She took a hold of the Modulator’s hand, and pressed it against the fissure at her chest. She had no heart, but energy surged at the crystal below her neck, pulsing in tandem with the Modulator’s heartbeat. “An oath from my heart, a vow from my soul,” Shorekeeper promised, her voice a private, soft song. “I will stay by your side, now and forever always. I will watch over our home until you return, and will watch over you when you do.”
