Summary
“This was an old song and dance. Kaisa knew nothing she said could dissuade her best friend, not when he was so certain that he was never going to be this in love again.
And honestly, Kaisa kind of hoped he was right. You had to be arse over teakettle to keep coming back after so many fights. She only wished she didn’t have to be the one to pick up the pieces every time it happened.”

Summary
"The troll brought with herself, every night without a fault, a baby.
Every night, she placed it upon the grass, and pointed upwards, showing her baby the stars and constellations. Showing her baby the fireflies.
Holding it tight. Cuddling with it. Making sure it saw the beauty the world had to offer. He had never considered himself a sentimental man. Yet this image, for some reason, never failed to make him return home feeling something gaping and void inside of himself.
Every one of his former coworkers must have returned to their families.
Who would Edmund return to when he could work no more?
What would give him a reason to get out of bed when the fireflies were no longer enough?"
An OC's origin story as well as a Bell Keeper character study, because this character is much more fascinating than I'd been giving him credit for.

Summary
Trolberg General Hospital is a lovely place to work in. Unless you piss the pathologist off, of course, in which case it's hell. But she is hardly ever even seen in those white corridors, and apparently her mood has gotten better in the past few months since the new paediatrician had been hired.
That day was an unfortunate exception to Dr. Underhill's new wave of goodwill, though.

Summary
“Johanna had been in Kaisa’s class since they began Elementary School, even if they rarely ever interacted, so she knew the girl’s reputation well enough. Johanna was brave, resourceful, beloved by all, and most importantly. she didn’t run.
So, obviously, the class’ favourite adventurer fleeing on the verge of tears wasn’t on anyone’s guesses for what they’d see that day.”

Summary

Summary
"The trees are the same.
When Johanna moved back to Trolberg, it felt like everything was different. The buildings were higher, and new ones had been brought up. The streets were smoother with new asphalt, and many of the shops she’d known had been closed, usually making room for other ones. The places where there were benches to sit in her favourite parks had been switched, and even the librarian she used to chat with in her youth had been replaced by a mysterious, yet very intriguing woman.
But when she drove back to the wilderness, the trees were the same."

Summary
Johanna didn’t really care for her daughter’s favourite singer. In her opinion, the songs were just a tad too aggressive, too loud, and all too capable of filling her young mind with ideas that her mother didn’t really think needed enforcement. So, obviously, Johanna wasn’t too thrilled to know that KAiSA would be performing in Trolberg.
But it would make her daughter so happy and it would just be one night, wouldn’t it? One night, and she’d never have to think about that woman again

Summary
Taking a step back from our poetry nerds, this instalment focuses on academic research projects, less than legal shenanigans, and most importantly, two coworkers who are smart enough to be geniuses in their respective areas but apparently not enough to confess.
Over the span of two decades.
Seriously.
Somebody has to do something. Before all their students lose their minds.

Summary
“Johanna bit down everything she wanted to say, seeing red in a way that didn’t allow her to notice the challenge in Kaisa’s voice as she called her her best friend. No, that certainly wouldn’t do. Her Kaisa, going out with someone who couldn’t keep from lashing out at others because of her own emotional turmoil? Someone that was so clearly only interested in her aloof persona, since she never got close and that was all that people who didn’t talk to her could ever see?
Her Kaisa, telling herself that a mediocre relationship was fine, that this was the best she could ever get, because somehow that was how that wonderful girl’s brain always worked?No, Johanna could not let that stand.”
