    Summary

    But now, every time her hand brushes Rumi’s waist in passing, she feels a thousand imaginary eyes narrow.

    She starts wondering who’s screenshotting what.

    She starts pulling back.

    Just a little.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, back when the gods still roamed the earth among mortals, there were two girls.

    Gem is born in a country that is devastated by war, that struggles for food, for money, for manpower. Her mother’s houseguests call her serious, call her mature for her age, but it’s not really that. It’s not that she at four-five-six truly understands the gravity of the situation – it’s just that in some inexplicable way she’s already lived through every possible hardship, tasted all the flavours of pain that exist out there.

    OR

    Gem’s life is a bit of a Greek tragedy, Pearl’s life is not much of a life at all these days. They still find their way to each other in the end

    Summary

    Having had all her Christmas plans ruined by a sudden snowstorm, Gem was just about to resign to her fate of spending the holiday season alone.

    At least, that was the case until she spots a figure braving the blizzard outside.

    Summary

    There is a plague sweeping Pearl's hometown.

    One by one, she watches as her friends fall to the infection, the colour and life drained out of them and leaving hollow, apathetic husks behind. Even with the devastating loss of her friends, her village, and her regular life, the worst part of this situation is not the infection.

    It's that Pearl knows that Gem is the one spreading it.
