    Summary

    It's not fair. It's not fair for her either, you remind yourself. That doesn't make it any easier to bear. Her misery doesn't give you back your parents. Her guilt doesn't let you sleep at night. It doesn't make you feel any better that she thinks of herself as a burden; it just makes you feel awful about the selfish little part of you that agrees.

     

    Glass child (noun): A child who feels "invisible" to their parents due to having a sibling with a serious health condition or disability who occupies a disproportionate amount of their parents' attention.

    Summary

    Nothing has ever come to you easily, not even cooking; you're good at that, unlike everything else you've tried, but you're still always striving for some level of skill, of recognition, that's just out of reach. You want something that you are incapable of achieving or even naming. Despite your best efforts to find meaning, nothing has ever genuinely satisfied you. Today, you think you'll make goulash.

    Summary

    It's the most scared you've been since that night at the football pitch where Maddy took you to an open grave and told you you were still alive, that she'd seen your heart and it was beating. You don't need her to have been right about everything: another world, another you, waking up to find this has all been a bad dream. It's okay if there isn't a perfect life waiting for you to slip seamlessly into it, without the mess of changing this one. Really, you won't mind. It's fine. You're good at not getting your hopes up. But you want her to be right about this.

    Summary

    It's quiet in your head. Not that blissful kind of quiet you used to get looking at the Hive or pinned under Levi, knowing that you didn't have to think at all, you didn't have to do or be anything, just let yourself be used as a vessel, but regular quiet. Calm quiet. No longer buzzing all the time. Able to sit and hear yourself think. The kind of quiet that doesn't beg for a distraction from the awful reality of being yourself.

    It would bring such shame to him if word got out, you understand that; but couldn't Domek have somehow told you the girl was a transvestite before you got out the hammer and nails?

    Summary

    What a beautiful thing, to be made important. You were given a purpose before you had to find one for yourself. His presence had sanded away the rough edges of your life, plastered faith over your flaws and sealed them away. It's strange. You have not felt alone since before knowing him, not even when he was taken from you. But you feel alone now, in this place, even as you walk on with the certainty you'll find him.

    Summary

    There is nothing but void outside of this. You were brought into existence to purify these lands, created with only the fulfilment of that goal in mind; without capacity for doubt or remorse, barely enough wonder to think on those. It's not even anger towards the spectres that drives you, just the knowledge you must destroy them. Simple, efficient, single-minded. Purification incarnate.

    Summary

    This is your legacy, your son and heir, your flesh and blood. This is who will continue your work and carry your family name, to take on the role all Domeks take and pass on to their own sons. This is proof that your life has had meaning; you have given away yourself entirely to this purpose, yet it has all been worth it to ensure the cycle continues.

    She turns her back on the reason you and she were born into this world, and does not look back.

    Summary

    Every time you blink, you can see flashes of the screen. The reflection of your own face bathed in blue light. It's not too late to go home and watch another episode, listen to the rain from inside the house. There is still time. It's just that that's not what you want to do with your time now. You're tired of living only in the memories of a show that isn't what you remember it, time passing by in fast-forwards and unspooled tapes.

    Summary

    Even if Sylvian could give you back your leg, you couldn't walk with it. She can't take the weakness from your body, repair damaged nerves and fragile blood vessels, or even stop it from happening again. This won't work. You know that it won't, because if there was any God who could have healed you, then it's one your parents already prayed to. There's nothing they wouldn't have tried before. Well, nothing except taking you to a doctor while that could still make a difference.

     

    Olivia prays to Sylvian to restore a lost limb, and wonders about what can and cannot be healed.

    Summary

    The thing about a relationship is that it's always heading towards the end goal of being in that relationship. Once you're past the stage of finding out if you might be compatible together, it's just a means to that end. And you want to want it. You do. But this thing you're supposed to feel which makes it worthwhile, that pull towards another person, a love like a need for them to love you too... It isn't there. You just feel uncomfortable.

    Summary

    When you meet his eyes, Levi ducks his head. You know that look. You know that look because you pretty much invented it. Furtive, almost embarrassed, taking little peeks when you want to stop and stare, because it hurts like you're looking into the sun. That's how you look at a woman when you want to look like her.

     

    Marina finds a chainmail dress in the old department store. For some reason, Levi seems very interested in it.

    Summary

    Maybe that's just what being an alicorn is like. You're not built for anything in particular, so you always feel a little out of place no matter what. Or maybe you really do just need some more practice. You'll listen to Twi. You owe her a lot for giving you this - more than you can pay back.

    Summary

    You don't want to care. You don't want to waste time staring off into space after every time he brings you tea, trying to argue with that little voice at the back of your head that insists if you just tried harder, you could fall in love with him and solve everything. If you'd just put in the effort, give him a chance. He deserves it, doesn't he? He's nice. You don't have any reason to object to a relationship with Martin, except for the fact that you don't want one.

     

    Jon isn't in love with Martin. The fact Martin's in love with him only makes things uncomfortable between them, especially when Martin starts coughing up flowers.

    Summary

    It's not the caw of a bird which tears its way from his throat. No, it's the cry a man would make, full of such suffering that your heart seizes with the urge to run to him; when he screams, it's with your brother's voice. He sounds human again. He sounds like Rudimer.

    Summary

    ...But if you know you can wear all those hats, and it's just a matter of what hat you wanna wear most, does 'girl' make it into the rotation?

    Jammer isn't a hat guy. She's starting to think she might not be a guy either.

    Summary

    There's scratch marks on the walls where she keeps trying to pick shadows off of them, as if the dark is going to leap right back into her hands if she tries hard enough to reach it. You feel awful for her. After so long spent cursed, it's got to be hard for her to believe she's really free of it. All you can do is be patient, remind her that there's nothing wrong with her, and be there for when she accepts that.
