    Summary

    When the expedition ends, Lune is left with too much knowledge, too little meaning. Verso is somewhere on the continent, convinced he has no place in the world he fought to unmake.

    She goes to him seeking clarity, but what they find are the truths they ran from, the weight of their choices, and a shared question neither knows how to solve: what comes next when the thing you’ve built your life around ends?

    Summary

    But before she understood what was happening, the world tilted sideways and the cavern lights blurred into streaks. For one impossible moment she was weightless – suspended above the ground.
    Lune hit the liquid stomach brine with a force that drove the air from her lungs in a single violent burst. The substance closed around her instantly; warm, viscous, thick enough that it clung to her limbs as she sank. The texture was like cooking oil mixed with mucus, like something half-alive trying to pull her deeper.
    The brine forced itself against her mouth, seeped into the corners of her eyes, clawed into the grooves where pictos had overextended and bled.
    She twisted, arms flailing for anything solid. Her legs scraped against slick muscle and found no traction. The water dragged at her clothing, at her hair, at her limbs, pulling her down and a hand collided with her back.
    Then an arm wrapped around her ribs.
    A chest pressed against her shoulder.
    “Got you,” Verso’s voice, low and steady, came out of the darkness, distorted by the wet echo of their surroundings. His grip was firm, anchoring her as the two of them were jostled by the slow, rhythmic contractions of the bourgeon’s stomach.

    Summary

    "Who are you? What's with the uniform?" He asked, and Lune met his eyes.
    "I, too, am an Expeditioner," she said slowly, repeating the words decades before Verso would say them to her.

    Or

    When the battle with the Paintress goes terribly wrong, help comes from the least likely source: the Masked Woman. Lune is cast back to the beginning to find the truth about the Fracture - and hopefully stop the Paintress and her yearly ritual of death. This puts Lune on a collision course with Verso and his family, before they were cursed with immortality. But the Dessendres have their own secrets, and unraveling them could cost Lune dearly - not just the success and safety of the future, but her own heart as well.

    Mainly canon through Act II.
    There's only one Paintress.
    The world is real (not a canvas).
    Everyone is real.

    Summary

    A finger under his chin, holding his gaze as she whispered softly against his skin. “As I said, I want to make this memorable.”

    “You’ve already—,” He started to say, but she shook her head.

    “Verso.” She said quietly, somehow his name had become like a command, freezing him in place. “This is for you.”

    “For me?” He whispered…and the way he looked at her now… disbelievingly, in awe, almost broke her heart.

    “Yes.” She said, with the solemnity of an oath. “Just you.”
