    Summary

    Abaddon’s eyes glisten. “You don’t understand,” he pleads, his voice small and shaking. “Please—I’ll behave! I’m sorry! I’ll be—I’ll be good!”

    Katherine’s hand trembles as she slips the crucifix over his head, pushing down the guilt she feels. “It’ll only be for a few hours,” she says quietly. “I really didn’t want it to be this way.”

    The moment the beads touch his skin, Abaddon cries out to her — a sound that doesn’t belong to a child at all. Katherine forces herself to turn away, heart hammering as she steps out of the attic. She has to remind herself that that isn’t a child, but a spawn of hell in a child’s body.

    The door slams shut behind her.

    Summary

    “So, you're warning us that you plan to poach our future students,” Yaga spoke, looking over his glasses at the other side.

    “We're offering an alternative,” one of Suguru's councilors said. Satoru was pretty sure his name was Toshihisa. “For centuries you've functioned as the sole source of government and education regarding sorcery. There is no choice but to bend to you if someone wants to learn about their abilities.”
    ___________

    Chance happenstance reconnects Nanami and Suguru, and shifts Suguru from destruction to creation. The Time Vessel association ceases to exist, and is replaced by a school; a school for sorcery, an alternative to jujutsu technical college.

    This is good. This should be the best news Satoru has heard in almost a decade. There's no more threat, and no more execution order on Suguru's head he's expected to carry out.

    But he can't shake the feeling that rather than reunite those that were once his classmates and closest confidants, he's farther from them than ever, and it's going to get worse.

    Summary

    It's eerie. It's suffocating. It usually means something bad's about to happen. Not to mention, it brings out Ben's Tinnitus. Just when Ben thinks his future has been assured, things go silent. You might think a life of constant fighting is hard, but when surprise attacks come and go with no one to fight, when the enemy operates undetected, when you can't even tell who IS the enemy, Ben may find it harder to just sit and wait for the next disaster to hit. It's even worse if there's no one left to wait with him. Because then, he waits in silence.

    Summary

    “Speaking of rumors,” Riyo said while nibbling on the remaining chicken nugget. She should have gotten more. “There’s talk about someone falling from the sphere again.” The other two raised silent eyebrows and she shrugged at the unasked questions. “Dunno. I believe some traffickers claim they found a Sphereite, alive, apparently.”

    Zanka scoffed. “Sounds pretty fake if you ask me. Probably just want to squeeze money out of people and end up giving them a skeleton they found in No Man’s Land. Who survives a fall from the sky?”

    Riyo shrugged again. “It’s just rumors.”

    Enjin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I like rumors,” he said. “Should probably go check it out.”

    --

    Or: What if Rudo hadn't gotten picked up by Enjin in No Man's Land but was instead captured by the traffickers and the Cleaners rescue him later on.

    Summary

    “Why do I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin?”

    “Probably because you just got a money shot from a plant from the Upside Down,” Steve grits out between his teeth, “This is the last thing I needed today, god, I can’t do anything right.”
