    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    Xie Lian hasn’t been acting like himself for the past few days, but Hua Cheng doesn’t care, because he loves him. He loves him, he loves him, he loves him.

    It occurs to him too late that the thing in front of him might not be Xie Lian at all.

    Summary

    “Now you get to help me stall them since you almost blew my cover.” Keith shifts in his lap and Shiro’s fingers tighten on his hips. “We gotta act like we’re into public shit. They’re gonna leave otherwise.”

    Shiro freezes where he’d been mouthing at Keith’s bare shoulder.

    “I’m serious, Shiro, don’t blow this fucking mission,” Keith hisses. “We’ll deal with this later.”

    Summary

    Dyspena: difficult or labored breathing.

    It was hard, his lungs moving the wrong way, bulging against his skin. The way anything deeper than light inhales stabbed him until he could only whimper. The way, that no matter how many breaths he took, he still felt breathless and dizzy.
    (He couldn't catch his breath anymore, but looking at the stump that he made with his bayard, he wasn't sure he wanted to.)

    Summary

    “I still - I don't-” Shiro feels like his brain is broken. “I still don't get why this is necessary.”

    “All aspects of physical stamina are tested during the trials,” Kolivan replies, standing next to him as both of them watch the screen. “Awakening the blade is only the first step. Your friend is an omega, and all omegas currently serving with the Blades have lasted an hour or more on this device. It is protocol.”
