    Well, why not?

    Summary

    Galen thinks a good first step towards breaking Eugenides out of his self-imposed post-behanding isolation is to get him active on internet chatrooms under an anonymous handle. Irene thinks she might go mad if she keeps turning her dwindling choices and her past mistakes over and over in her head all alone, and maybe it’s time to use that anonymous internet chatroom handle she made for the sake of lurking online and gauging the Attolian populace’s problems for a new purpose: seeking random internet advice.

    It doesn’t take long for Gen and Irene to start a private message conversation, neither suspecting who the other is … nor for them to become each other’s main source of support when nightmares leave them awake in the dead of night.

    Summary

    The thief was looking around the dock as if expecting to see someone suddenly appear when a shot rang out and a bullet tore through the sail, leaving a neat hole. A group of figures in Sounisian colors had appeared on the other end of the dock.

    Her kidnapper sighed theatrically. "We'll do this the hard way, then. Into the boat, Your Highness." He offered her his arm and Irene considered her options only briefly. A fight would be short and end unhappily for her. Without looking, she stepped past him into the dau. It rocked under her feet as the thief severed the ties to the dock and pushed them away.

    Summary

    Jon’s fingers run absently along the handle of his cup. “What you said, in the Lonely,” he starts, and Martin can feel him hedging. “When you said what you said, I…” He sighs, using his free hand to cover his face. “Did you mean it? When did you know? How long have you known?”

    Did he mean it? Of all the dumb, thoughtless questions. “Of course I meant it.”

    --
    in which Jon puts a little too much emphasis on "loved" and Martin is a little slow on the uptake

    Summary

    It starts when Jiang Yanli almost permanently relocates there with Jin Ling, and then the people just don’t stop coming. Apparently, the Burial Mounds are now a prime piece of real estate that everyone wants to live on.

    Wei Wuxian is just very confused.

    (Or, wherein everyone keeps moving into, or frequently visiting the Burial Mounds, and Wei Wuxian has no idea what is happening anymore).
