    Summary

    Ruan Mei leans into Jingliu’s space. “You must get terribly close to a star to lay a scratch, much less cut it open. Do you think you have what it takes?”

    “I will do it. I want it more than anything.”

    Ruan Mei smiles. “I believe you.”

    She moves her mouth to Jingliu’s ear. “Show me,” she whispers. “Show me how you'll kill an Aeon.”

    “Say I'm the star you wish to cut.” She places Jingliu’s hand on her neck. It's searing hot.

    “What are you going to do?”

     

    Or, Ruan Mei is on an unerring path to becoming the Aeon of Life, and Jingliu is hot on her heels.

    Summary

    "You give Valentine's Day gifts on Valentine's Day." Himeko groans, massaging her temple briefly. She sighs once, "What's the catch?"

    Kafka points her index finger to herself.

    Himeko blushes. "No. I meant what is it you are trying to do?"

    Kafka points her index finger to her.

    Summary

    And, oh, there it is. That damned face. That heart-wrenching expression.

    Clorinde, her heart bared for Navia and her eyes shining more pathetically than anyone else in the world. She’s like a little kicked dog, looking up with the lightest of pouts and her breath held in silent question. Her eyebrows tilt up as if asking Navia for the world and Navia hates how her chest clenches at the simple recognition that this is the woman who killed her father.

    It’s not fair.

    It’s just not fair.

    Summary

    Clorinde notices.

    She notices the way Navia stops short of herself from leaning into her space. The way she was trying not to grab her hand and intertwine their fingers like they used to. She notices the way Navia looks at her, but then suddenly becomes scared of something. Clorinde didn’t mind, of course. They have been apart for years, so it was only natural that Navia no longer desires to touch her or smile at her the same way she did before.

    But she notices. The way Navia had become more…clingy. Touchy.

    Or

    Clorinde loves and takes care of Navia after the flood, even if Navia doesn't want her to.

    Summary

    “Am I dead?” Jingliu gasps.

    “No.” Ruan Mei pries Jingliu’s mouth open, holding the tongue down with her thumb. “You are so delightfully alive. And now I have the pleasure of putting you back together.”

    (Or: Jingliu becomes Ruan Mei’s test subject.)
