Summary
Phainon’s soulmark appeared when he was a young boy in Aedes Elysiae. It was supposed to tell him the name of his soulmate, but it was written in an alphabet he had never seen before. He delighted in the idea of a soulmate from a faraway land.
Of course, life didn’t turn out as he’d planned. By the time he arrived in Okhema, love was the last thing on his mind. He'd never learned how to read the mark, and at this point, he'd resolved he never would. He'd dedicated his life to the Flame Chase.
Once he met Mydei, he felt a connection he had never experienced with anyone. Surely, if he had a soulmate, it had to be him. They started spending more time together, growing closer, until Mydei informed him - he had a soulmate, but it wasn't Phainon.
(Or was it?)

Summary
Lygus steps toward him, bringing himself closer, and lowers his voice. "You defeated him in battle. You struck him down and lived where others fell. By law and by custom, the honor is yours."
He holds a hand out, almost casually, toward the man in chains. "Execute him."
The square tilts. Khaslana doesn't move.
Or, after everything is over, Phainon gets trapped in another timeloop. This time, with Mydei.

Summary
"Do you still remember?"
“Maybe it’s better,” the angel says, forlorn, “if you don’t remember.”
“Remember what?”
“For what follows, I’m sorry. But Kephale always remembers, and I promise not to forget this.”
Phainon frowns. Kephale? That name tickles something, but he doesn’t know what. It feels weird, like that pudding that got him sick last month.
“Forget what?”
“Remember them; the ones that won’t reach the dawn.”|
Visions burn behind his eyelids ever since, and the fire roars forever more in the canvas of a picture. Mydei used to quench the fire, for a while, but he never understood what art truly means for Phainon. So why, fifteen years later, does Phainon find Mydei stand there, staring up at a painting of burning gold?- Language:

Summary
It was a cultural miscommunication. The product of a cultural difference. Phainon was certain of it. After all, Phainon had hardly been aware of the implications when he first arrived in Okhema. It wasn’t until he attended a class on Okheman theatre at the Grove and they were halfway through analysing a play script from Era Bellica that he was exposed to the symbolism for the first time.
The girl next to him had taken pity and timidly whispered the answer to his question.
Throwing apples was a ploy at seduction.
By the way Mydei happily crunched at the apple perfectly matched to the one he had thrown with every intention for Phainon to catch, and the lack of scandalised attention from the surrounding Kremnoans, tossing apples clearly did not carry the same meaning in Kremnos as it did in Okhema.
A cultural difference over apples leads to some self-inflicted torture on Phainon’s behalf. After all, if Mydei is ignorant to the symbolism then there’s no harm to Phainon indulging in a little fantasy.

Summary
For a moment, all Mydei does is stare. He wants to see Phainon drop that veneer of professionalism. He wants to see what Phainon's real laugh looks like. He wants to see Phainon, truly see him without all the shine and glamour obscuring his vision.
Slowly, deliberately, so that his intentions can't possibly be misread, Mydei says, "If you have nowhere else to be, you could come over to my place."
Or, Phainon is the Flame-Chase's top-rated host, five consecutive years and counting, and Mydei can't seem to keep his eyes off him.
