    Summary

    Jazz turned in his seat, cube at his lips, just in time to spot the white pursuit vehicle steaming and panting in the doorway. “Jazz of Staniz,” the enforcer shouted, “surrender the matrix and come quietly!”

    Jazz knocked back his drink. “Well!” he said to the open-mouthed bartender, “time to split!”

    Summary

    Summary

    If you had asked Lan Qiren ten years ago, he would have confidently asserted that Lao Nie was one of his dearest friends.

    And yet – it had been Lan Qiren, who was short on friends, and not Lao Nie, who had many, that had cut off their relationship. Lan Qiren hadn’t truly spoken to Lao Nie in seven years, limiting their conversations to the subject of sect business and keeping their meetings as short as could be allowed by etiquette, ignoring the way Lao Nie looked at him with sadness and regret in his eyes. Even when Lan Qiren’s anger had finally died down from a raging flame to a simmering anger he suspected would never leave him entirely, he had thought to himself that it was too late, that the fire had burnt everything out, that there were only ashes left behind.

    And yet – on the seventh year, apparently apropos of nothing, Lao Nie wrote to him, requesting his presence.

    As a friend, he wrote. Come as a friend, or not at all. I have no use for a sect leader.

    Summary

    An episode guide for all seasons of the MDZS Audio Drama, so if you're searching for a specific scene/quote, it's easier to find. A breakdown of novel chapters already exists, courtesy of the wonderful threerings, but the audio drama does slightly different things and has some really beautiful changes/scripting, so this is a supplemental guide for anyone who wants to reference the AD instead of the novel for any reason.

    Obviously, spoilers for the entirety of the plot.
