    Summary

    When Yelan had first volunteered, Ningguang had slapped her, hard, across the face on the train, and then retreated to her room. The next time the two had spoken, Ningguang had written out a grueling training plan, detailed down to Yelan’s protein intake per meal.

    I’m sorry, Yelan wants to say, they told us it was an honor. I’m sorry, I just wanted to know where you had gone. I thought if I won I could understand you again and we could live like when we were children in the Akademia and we didn’t know that we were being raised to die.

    I wanted you back.

    Summary

    They don’t say anything to each other. They don’t have to. The clock ticks in the corner and helps Navia calm the rapid pounding in her chest. Clorinde’s fingertips running up and down her arm and the way Navia can close her eyes and listen to her heartbeat is all that she needs. All that they need.

    All she ever wanted was for Clorinde to feel safe. To feel loved and wanted and worth it, like Clorinde had always done for her.

    There is no Navia without Clorinde. No Clorinde without Navia.

    Or, from beginning to end, how Clorinde falls in the bloom of their youth, the way Navia follows suit in the aftermath, and how they continue to intertwine.

    Summary

    Navia stands up and nearly spills her tea in the process, and Clorinde startles.

    With her palms slammed into the table, she blurts out, “We should get married!”

    It takes precisely four blinks for Clorinde to say anything. A traill of her tea runs down from her knuckle to the bone of her wrist, though Clorinde doesn’t seem to mind nor care.

    “We should… what?” Clorinde says.

    Or, Navia proposes they make an arrangement of sorts. But she's sure that it won't mess with their friendship at all, she insists.
