Summary
Alhaitham doesn't believe in anything he can't measure, empirically. When he gets promoted to Director, a role that has him looking over unexplained cases, disappearances, strange sightings—events that don’t fit in any other body of government—his urge to dismiss the occult, the mysticism, and the strange is strong… but when his ex-boyfriend, Kaveh, gets involved in the mystery, Alhaitham chooses to follow the red string until he finds the evidence of what is actually going on…

Summary
When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.
But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.
“Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”
“How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.
“And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

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
“Alhaitham.
I won’t say my dear, my dearest or my love, or any other sweet names you don’t deserve. You never call me those anyway. But it doesn’t matter.Because this is goodbye. You won't see me for a while.”
The newly reinstated Scribe- not Acting Grand Sage anymore- with the biggest salary any Scribe has ever gained- finally free from all the pompous titles saving a nation bestow upon you- Alhaitham, just freshly clocked-out for the day, already has enough of this bullshit.
He might have neglected Kaveh for a bit. True. But who could judge him? Do you know how many books he missed out on while being the Acting Grand Sage?
Anyway, from the unprecedented dramatics in this one greeting and first four sentences of a five-page letter, he hopes not all of Sumeru is involved in their lover’s spat.
