Summary
Sandrone prefers silence, and the empty seat beside her. It is a space no one in class ever sits in.
Then a new student transfers in.
Soft-spoken. Calm.
And unexpectedly… blind — walking with a white cane and quiet confidence straight toward the empty seat beside Sandrone, throwing her completely off-guard.
The new student isn’t fragile.
She isn’t helpless.
And for the first time, someone sits beside Sandrone without fear.And that’s what unsettles Sandrone most.
To make matters worse, she’s assigned as the transfer student’s “class buddy.”
“The hallway’s getting crowded,” the new girl says softly.
“Can I stay closer to you?”Sandrone scoffs.
“Stay close.”
A pause.
“…If you want.”Bookmarked by Cas_Ted

Summary
“It’s pretty good..” Sandrone finally comments, tapping on the teacup. “I mean.. it's good I guess. I could totally make better tea for us later tonight. But I can taste the effort.”
More tea time between us? Columbina stifles a giggle, finding the world’s gravitation to be drawing the both of them closer together. Her hands pat along the sofa, searching for something of Sandrone’s to hold onto– which she chooses to be her hand.
Sandrone doesn’t pull away when Columbina holds on, if anything, she makes it easier for her to fully hold. “In that case..” She leans over, slowly, carefully sinking beside Sandrone. “Could I hear how you make it? Maybe I could learn a thing or two.”

Summary
Sandrone retells the story she has explained thrice by now; the backup plan in Fontaine, the blueprints updated after her interactions with the Wanderer, Master Albedo, and the witches of the Hexenzirkel, the important nature of her core, and all the instructions a robot can give to be rebuilt over and over again if needed. Lauma listens, and listens, and the sun setting behind her gives the warmth in her eyes a certain spark that makes Sandrone feel as if she could remotely understand what dying and reviving by her own hand feels like.
“It pleases me to hear of your success,” Lauma says, when Sandrone runs out of things to explain. “Nod-Krai welcomes you back again, for as long as you may need. Though I suppose you came here with a goal in mind?”
In the aftermath of her rebirth, with Columbina dragging her along into a mission to get Lauma and Nefer to fix whatever is keeping them apart, Sandrone finds that what comes after death and learning to live again is an odd thing indeed.
Next Update: February 11th.

Summary
What Sandrone thinks is a date, Columbina thinks is obvious. Sandrone is precise with everything—except her feelings for Columbina. Columbina is kind to everyone—except she doesn’t realize how deeply that kindness cuts.
