Summary
“Tell me, has the Blade of Frontiers never dealt with a stab wound before?” Astarion finally asks, planting a hand on his hip.
“Would that it were my first…” Wyll scoffs. “I’ve dealt with all manner of injury. I could hardly call myself a monster hunter of good mettle if I hadn’t.”
“Well, for someone who is so well versed in being injured, you look entirely too clothed right now.” Astarion says. “I mean, Shadowheart sent you off to clean the cut with just some rags wrapped around your abdomen, and in the time it took you to reach the water, you’ve somehow added a shirt.”*****
Wyll refuses to look at his body after Mizora hurls it through the Hells, but it's hard to change a bandage when you're unwilling to look down.

Summary
The date this story occurs does not matter -- the only date that matters anymore is when the world will end.
An energy crisis tears rifts into international relationships. War and corruption spread across the planet. Without reason and without brakes, humanity accelerates towards its final finish line. Then, a rover sent by an independent space agency touches down with a strange rock from a planet beyond Pluto, and life is given one final chance: seven astronauts on a journey into the stars, chasing down an element known as Radianite in a final attempt to bring power to a dying world.

Summary
The punishment of Tantalus was simple. He was to spend eternity in a pool of water with trees bearing fruit just overhead. When he leaned down to drink, the water would sink, and when he tried to eat the fruit, the branches would rise just out of reach.
Cypher is leaving on vacations and returning with blood on his hands.

Summary
He’s spoken to Cypher multiple times before about the nature of the agent’s work, how he wont specify his methods, how the ones he has shared have been… distasteful, to say the least. Cypher never seemed to take their discussions seriously, much to Sova’s displeasure. He would always laugh, purr out some answer along the lines of 'I do what it takes,' and sometimes throw in 'my friend' for added insult.
And now here he is, parked across Sova typing away, ensuring that the first thing the hunter sees upon waking is a reminder that the man he hates is the very man who saved his life. That those same hands Sova had fallen into are now, he can only assume, picking apart another person’s life.*****
After saving Sova’s life on a mission, Cypher begins to act like he and the hunter are friends. Sova, to nobody’s surprise, does not feel the same.

Summary
She is the one to finally break the silence, lifting her face from where it had rested between steepled hands. “You know, Caleb,” she says, “I think you were wrong.”
It takes Caleb a few moments to realize she is speaking, and then another to realize the words are meant for him. He lets his gaze lift over the top of his book. Yasha sits in profile to him, the orange glow of firelight softly illuminating pale skin and healing bruises.
“Wrong about what?”
“When we were going to Kamordah,” Yasha replies. “I couldn’t sleep, and I talked to you.”
___________________________The Mighty Nein get a full rest in the tower before the Tomb Takers arrive, and Caleb and Yasha find each other in the tower library.
A coda to their conversation in episode 92, where Yasha asked if he loved someone.
