Summary
“You’d spoil your children rotten.”
Columbina laughed, light and musical. “And you’d make an excellent co-parent. You’d fix their toys and tell them bedtime stories full of formulas.”
“I would not.”
“You would,” she teased, flicking a dot of blue paint onto Sandrone’s cheekplate. “And you’d pretend you didn’t enjoy it.”
The Kuuhenkis swirled around them then, each glowing a different hue due to the paint dyes — blue, gold, rose, and green — forming a halo that painted their faces in color. Columbina leaned back, eyes still closed– Sandrone missed seeing her eyes, but she did not say this outloud but there was one unforgettable thing about her former colleague, her expression was always serene.
“This,” she whispered, “is what it must feel like to be human. To make a mess, and call it love.”
Sandrone looked at Columbina for a long time, a small smile tugging on the corner of her lips — then quietly returned to cleaning the last jar of dye, her movements slower now, gentler. And when a Kuuhenki clumsily dropped a droplet of color onto her metal palm, she didn’t flinch this time. She let it stain.

Summary
After that night. Sandrone worked longer in her workshop, her creation sprawled around her like discarded prayers. Even if Columbina’s familiar was trying to fetch her, she did not come to visit. Every clink of metal was a poor substitute for the sound she craved. And when she closed her eyes, all she could hear was Columbina’s half-smile, her lullabies that could make even a monster sleep.

Summary
Sandrone said nothing. Her chest was too tight, her throat too dry at the thought of Rerir possibly eradicating the only being she’s held close in her lifetime. And Columbina, ever merciless in her softness, leaned close enough that her breath brushed her’s ear. “Stay tonight. Let me sing you restless. Let me see if these strings can take a break.”

Summary
They had found the West Coast together, running away from the Court of Fontaine with no real plan—just Furina’s wildest dreams and Lumine’s willingness to follow as an adventurer.
