    Summary

    “Hey,” Verso tilts his head chidingly. “I may not be the creator of this world, but I’m more or less sure that you’re not supposed to be sad here. We even found a list of rules, look,” he waves a crumpled piece of paper. Reads, “‘Feeling whooo allowed only in designated areas. Inside the house whooo is prohibited’! See?”

    “I’m not inside the house,” Gustave objects, just to be an ass — he can feel a smile forming on his lips. “And I’m not ‘whooo’. More like, ‘hmmm’.”

    “‘Hmmm’. Is that the official term?”

    “Yup,” Gustave lowers his head, examining the wrist connections of the prosthesis.

    Or: Gustave finds out that “Barbapapa” is not really compatible with intricate mechanisms. Luckily, Verso is there to help.

    Summary

    Gustave and Verso meet on a train, but never exchange names. So Verso takes matters into his own hands and publishes several ads into the newspapers, looking for Gustave. Meeting again seems impossible, but fate has other plans for the two. After all, Paris is the city of love, and so love will triumph.

    Summary

    The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:

    Maelle.

     

    OR

     

    Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.

    He's definitely not prepared for their children.
