Summary
Back then, they hadn't been entirely sure exactly what visions Amo’s abilities played to her victims, but Riyo's face in particular when the illusion had broken had stuck with him.
That woman's powers are real vicious, he remembers thinking to himself as he looked at Riyo’s crumpled form on the ground. Real vicious.
Which is exactly why he hesitates to answer.
Or, the one where Zanka discovers who he would've seen had he forgotten his mask back in Amo's tower, and how he deals with the consequences.

Summary
“This,” Zanka snarls, thrusting his broken weapon in Jabber’s direction, “Is what happens when ya do things that’re best for me!”
Jabber is silent, staring at the crack in Assistaff as Zanka steps toward him with fury running hotly through his veins like fire. What he must be feeling, Zanka doesn’t know— he’s starting to find he doesn’t really care.
Jabber struggles to cope with the foreign weight of his own emotions. Zanka searches desperately for a way to save himself, but there's only so much his heart can take before he succumbs to his long-accumulated anger.

Summary
To the Cleaners, their bond doesn’t make sense— they don’t know, likely won’t ever know what they went through together, how Jabber initiated and Zanka, in an unhinged rush of stress, pain and desire, met him halfway.
They’re too similar not to have ended up like this, he thinks bleakly. Maybe it was bound to have happened, one way or another.
After the loop, Zanka recovers. But recovery is not a steady slope, and before the healing process can begin, all infected areas must be purged. The question is: once all the ugly bits are cut away, how much of Zanka really remains?
A continuation of Larkspur.

Summary
Zanka’s breaths are short and wet– he’s not long for this world. Without his mask and with that gaping wound in his chest, anyone can see that he’s not going to survive more than another minute or so. Jabber sits beside him, giddy with anticipation as he waits for Zanka's inevitable death.
Jabber gets trapped in a time loop where Zanka dies, over and over. It doesn't bother him- he loves the look on Zanka's face as the light fades from his eyes- until he comes to a few realisations about himself, and then it really, really does.
