    Summary

    After Gwi-Ma is sealed away, the new Honmoon blanketing the city in its protective embrace, the only thing Rumi wants to do is sleep.

    Her body aches, her vision blurs, and her head throbs with the pain of a headache long ignored. The moment Mira and Zoey usher her offstage, away from the hundreds of thousands of fans, the adrenaline leaves her as fast as it came. She sags backward, stumbling over nothing but her exhaustion, and for a moment, she thinks that hitting the floor would be a welcome sensation.

    ———

    The girls get Rumi home after the events of the Idol Awards, and then they have to deal with all of the shattered glass they had sung about.

    Summary

    “I asked Celine to kill me.”

    Rumi doesn’t know what compelled her to say that. The sound of chopsticks clattering to the floor, though, stokes an immediate regret that urges her to get up and run.

    Summary

    “You okay?” Zoey asks, her hand wrapped around Rumi’s. Mira’s hands are braced at her opposite shoulder, keeping her arm steady, and ow— that’s where the demon must have got her. She winces around a sharp inhale.

    “You’re okay,” Mira says, firm. “Go slow. I think it dislocated your shoulder on top of scratching you up. Ripped your sweatshirt too, sorry. I know you liked this one.”

    It takes Rumi a moment to register what she said. Then, in a move that makes her head spike with a pain that almost takes out her vision entirely, her focus snaps to her arm.

    The sleeve of her hoodie is slashed open and gaping. Her patterns are out, shining in the morning sunlight, vivid even through the blood.

    She’s up and away before either of them can stop her.

    ***

    The first time Rumi gets hurt after the Idol Awards, a head wound and shock means she forgets that her team now knows about her patterns— and old habits die hard.

    Summary

    Her shoulder burned, and Zoey was being so nice, and she was going to have to throw away her stupid shirt because she’d seen how bloody it was when she checked, and she knew how soft and gentle Mira’s face would be when she fixed up Zoey’s cut, and she couldn’t carry Zoey even though she’d wanted to because it hurt, and she was going to have to sort this out on her own, again, and-

    Rumi gets hurt, then gets hurt again.
