Summary
“Do you trust us?” Mira asked. Rumi’s gaze zeroed on her with an intensity that felt too heavy to carry on her eyes.
“I do” she said solemnly “with my life.”
The answer weighed in the room by how openly vulnerable it had been. There was a raw undertone to it, more than one way she meant it; she’d die for them, she’d trust they could save her and…she’d let them take her life.
The moment existed; it burned and went out without any of them being truly able to acknowledge it, nor ignore it.
Zoey dropped the contents of the bag, revealing a collection of brushes and a variety of paint bottles “I have an idea” she said “Well, more than that, obviously, but this one feels the most meaningful” she grabbed the supplies “maybe to help you accept yourself and for us to truly understand what you are feeling, we should feel it in the flesh as well.”
“We are going to paint the patterns on our skin, exactly as they are on yours” Mira provided.

The defeat of Gwi-Ma didn't take away the scars they had inflicted on one another. Words weren't enough to shatter the silence, but perhaps rewtriting the meaning of the patterns into their own skin could help them all understand what laid underneath.Series

Summary
Mira moved like she was underwater. She had pulled the melody straight from memory, from Rumi’s humming, from the way the lyrics had clawed their way into her chest and embedded itself in her heart.
Every motion, every step felt distant, disconnected—like she was watching herself from somewhere outside her own skin.
She danced for everything she hadn’t said.
For the guilt she couldn’t shed.She thought it might be a sort of twisted way of coping but she needed to do it.
It was her penance.
OR
The 3 times Mira over hears Rumi singing Free in different moments and the one time Zoey does. The words reopening wounds and guilt inside them. So Mira deals with it the only way she knows how, she dances, diving deep into her regret and emotions as she learns how to accept and forgive herself. Rumi and Zoey is there for her.

Summary
“ You can figure it out though, it’s been right in front of your face this entire time. Since we were kids Rumi.” The confusion on Rumi’s face was palpable.
Of course they had to talk about so much but this, this truth needed to slip out just a bit more to give the oblivious girl a small push.
“Watch that live Rumi, and then find me.” Mira stepped back and walked away with lethal grace throwing a grin over her shoulder that whispered come find me.

Summary
Mira asks, “So, what, we just pretend ‘polytrix’ isn’t top one on the global trending list right now?”
“It’s—” Rumi physically freezes. It looks like it takes her a moment to compute what Mira had said, then she finishes stiffly, “It’s what?”
Mira’s never been one to lie; and, lo and behold, hashtag polytrix was indeed pressed up as number one on the social media app they’re staring at. Zoey glances down at the related hashtags trending with it: #ITSREAL #POLYTRIXONTOP #RUMIONBOTTOM #HUNTR/XGIRLS #TOTHEGAYWORLD
Or, Mira, Rumi, and Zoey get caught in the middle of their fans' shipping war—but maybe one ship in particular has more substance than the others.
