Summary
By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
Illuga knows what it means to say goodbye.
With his legs wanting to give up and his lungs screaming, he is now running into the darkness because what's left is a world he won't live in.
Flins is standing on the balcony, dangerously close to the edges when he arrives at the lighthouse. The desk inside is covered in dozens of letters, all of which are farewells.
For years, Illuga has kept words inside his chest. But first, he wants to make Flins understand something just as important.
If Flins disappears, he is taking Illuga with him.

Summary
They told themselves it didn't mean anything. A body for a body. Darkness for darkness. What happened after midnight stayed after midnight.
For months, that lie held. No strings. No labels.
Illuga thought he was just being used. Flins thought he was protecting him.
But the cracks are spreading. The silences keep growing heavier. And when Illuga finally breaks beneath the moonlight, Flins gives him an answer he never expected.
(A light that never learned to be held. A keeper who was always too afraid to reach for it.)

Summary
After a dangerous encounter leaves Freminet severely injured, he finds himself grappling with guilt and self-doubt, unable to escape the weight of his perceived failures. His siblings, Lyney and Lynette, are shaken by the sight of him broken and vulnerable, their fears of losing him overwhelming their every thought. As Freminet struggles with his own feelings of worthlessness, the trio is forced to confront the strength of their bond, realizing how much they need each other.
The blade struck before he could react.
Sharp, cold steel pierced his side, stealing his breath and flooding his senses with searing pain. Freminet stumbled back, his diving helmet slipping from his grasp and clattering to the ground. A strangled gasp escaped him as his vision blurred.
“Pathetic,” the man hissed, his face a cruel mask. “Think you can just live in their shadows forever?”

Summary
Years have passed since Kaeya revealed the truth of his origins, and in that time, his relationship with Diluc has only grown more strained. Despite Kaeya’s attempts to bridge the distance between them, the coldness from Diluc remains, leaving Kaeya to wrestle with guilt, loneliness, and the fear of never finding a place where he truly belongs. As they face a mission together, old wounds resurface and a choice must be made: to continue down a path of destruction or to seek forgiveness and healing.
He could feel his hands trembling slightly as he clenched them at his sides. “I never asked for forgiveness,” he said softly, the sharpness in his tone gone now, replaced by something far more fragile. “I only wanted you to know the truth.”
Diluc’s gaze hardened, and for a moment, Kaeya thought he might lash out again, that the anger bubbling beneath the surface would break free. But Diluc simply stared at him, eyes burning with a deep, smoldering hurt that Kaeya hadn’t seen in years.
“The truth,” Diluc repeated, his voice laced with bitterness. “Do you even understand what that means anymore, Kaeya?”

Summary
In the quiet spaces of their shared home in Sumeru, Kaveh battles with a waning sense of inspiration, his mind increasingly preoccupied with his infuriatingly composed roommate, Alhaitham. As frustration begins to merge with something deeper, Kaveh finds himself grappling with a growing, unspoken longing. When a simple gesture from Alhaitham offers unexpected comfort, Kaveh is confronted with emotions he hadn’t anticipated, leading to a tender exploration of their complex relationship.
“Alhaitham,” Kaveh greeted, his voice more strained than he intended. “What do you need?”
Alhaitham’s eyes, sharp and perceptive as always, lingered on Kaveh for a moment longer than necessary. “You’ve been working nonstop,” he said simply, his tone calm but with a hint of concern that was so subtle Kaveh almost missed it. “You should take a break.”
