Summary
"In art, chiaroscuro (...) is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition." (Wikipedia).
How long can a lie remain a lie before it becomes a justification to linger? For how long can one lie about motivations before the lie becomes their truth?
Shadow Milk Cookie makes good on his threat that Pure Vanilla Cookie's kindness will be his undoing. He arrives in the Vanilla kingdom asking for help, lying that his followers have turned on him and his magic is gone. This lie wraps him up in itself until he is completely enmeshed, unable to tell where the lie ends, and where his true motivations begin. That lie becomes an excuse to linger.

Summary
"It was a word, one word, that had so thoroughly stumped her. Out of the blue, Pitaya Dragon had come to the Hollyberry Kingdom, in the middle of the night, begging for a fight. Far be it from her to turn down a sparring match with this particular friend—she had agreed immediately. In the ensuing melee, after having been slammed into a tree by their tail, she heard Pitaya Dragon utter a single word in Dragontongue. It was not one she was familiar with, and it was such a quiet hiss she was certain she had imagined it. She picked herself up, re-armed herself, and charged back into the fight with her shield in hand. (...) That one single word haunted her. They hissed it in combat as she slammed her shield into their cheek. They murmured it behind her back as she distracted herself speaking with the bartender. They whispered it as they left, certain she would not hear them. According to Hollyberry’s account, this single word in Dragontongue followed her through every interaction she had with Pitaya Dragon."
Following incredibly unusual behavior from her enemy turned friend, Hollyberry seeks counsel on Dragontongue.

Summary
"He watches a plane blink by overhead. He knows it’s empty. There’s nothing outside of this town. No pilots, no passengers, no one to operate an airport. (There’s a word, he remembers, for the sudden realization that every individual you speak to has an internal life. What do you call the realization that half the people you speak to have nothing but empty code and instructions behind their eyes? Is there a word for that? Does he have a soul? Or is his code simply more complex?) 'You know, don’t you. You know what all of this…' he gestures at the Everything in front of them with his hands. 'You know what all of this is.'"
Not long after the Black Mesa incident, Gordon finds himself in a beautiful house with a beautiful roommate, fighting the sinking feeling that he does not belong here, and this is not the right ending for him. On top of a growing sense of dread, he has to contend with Benrey's incessant desire to keep him alive, to an infuriating degree.

Summary
"Before the guards could reach them, The Vessel had stepped in front of The King. Though it could not speak, the message was clear. Stand down. The Vessel met her gaze and tilted its head up to look down at her with pride. In that moment, she knew The King’s plan would fail."
Realizing the King's plan is futile and hoping to protect her young daughter, Herrah seeks out the Radiance for a deal.

Summary
“You do not believe in this cause,” Enjolras continued. Grantaire heard him push his chair away and stand. “You believe in nothing but fictions. You believe in a marble statue that doesn’t exist.” Light footfalls on the wooden floor. Enjolras took practiced steps. Grantaire could feel the gaze on his back and closed his hand into a fist.
“Cast me out, then. You know who I am, ask me to leave.” Grantaire bit the words as though they might burn him if he held them on his tongue.
“Do you want me to?” Enjolras asked plainly.At some point before the revolution truly begins in earnest, Grantaire writes a description of each member of Les Amis in a journal. Upon discovery, this prompts several difficult conversations about what he wrote. Prompted by a thought I had many years ago that the descriptions of Les Amis in the book read as thought they were written by someone in the group. I expanded upon that idea until it turned into musings about aromanticism and love.
