    Summary

    Another motorcycle whizzes by, breaking the stillness of the moment. Joowon glances at the digital clock inside the store. 03:01 glaring back at him in red as if accusing him of dallying with no reason.

    He could cross the street. Greet Dongsik like a normal person; say 'hi' and ask him how his night went. He could cross the street and he knows Dongsik would smile at him—because of course, he would, he's Lee Dongsik—and isn't that just the very reason why Han Joowon shouldn't?

    Summary

    In Lumière, soul bonds are not gifts - they are obligations.

    Verso Dessendre has spent years perfecting the art of staying untouched. Once a prodigy, now a soldier, he's learned that wanting anything is dangerous. His hands are scarred. His reputation is carefully constructed. And he has no intention of letting anyone close enough to see what lies beneath.

    Gustave Virlogeux is the Academy's most reliable engineer - the one who fixes what the system breaks, who never asks for anything for himself. His prosthetic arm glows with borrowed Chroma. He's useful. Essential. Alone.

    When destiny pairs them together, neither is prepared for what their connection will cost—or what it might save. As Lumière's bond ceremony approaches, they—along with Verso's sister Alicia and Gustave's ward Maelle - will discover that the system they trusted might be more fragile than anyone realized.

    A story about two people learning that sometimes the most broken things fit together in ways nothing whole ever could.

    Summary

    It was only supposed to be a one time thing. With the expedition reeling from the loss of a core member, Verso was only hoping to gather some intel that he might use for his own ends.

    Why continue reading? What a great question. Verso would give a lot to be able to answer it.

    Or: 5 Times Verso read Gustave’s journal + 1 Parting Word.
