    Summary

    It's a matter of internal record that Eremian nobility, those of Duke Miel's generation especially, do take as a deeply serious affront the mishandling of intimate personal correspondence. The mutual peace our nations enjoy shouldn't be left up to the chance that someone on my end digs up this old thing for an excuse to pick fights. It belongs in Eremia Montis; whether in a library or in your fireplace, I leave to your judgement.

    Summary

    They named the baby Lucao because the Duchess wouldn't let Miel name him Orsea.

    "He's my son," said the Duchess. "He's got the odds against him already, I won't saddle him with a bad-luck name like that."

    "I can't argue with that," said the Ducas, who looked like he wanted to argue it anyway.

    Summary

    One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.

    “What are you fucking giggling about?”

    The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.

    “It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.

    “Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.

    “I know because I was in one, asshole.”

    ------

    During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.

    Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.

    Flambae does not.

    Summary

    Another waitress places the gaudiest long island iced tea Jean ever did see in front of Harry. It’s a shade of blue so unnatural, it makes Jean wince.

    “What the fuck? When did you even order that? And also why?” 

    Harry shrugs.

    “I think the bartenders have a bet going, honestly, I haven’t really ordered anything in weeks, the drinks just show up. Though they are usually more traditional, but hey, I swing both ways.” Harry says suggestively, dipping his head forward seductively and immediately poking himself in the eye with the bright purple plastic straw. “ Ow!”

    “Aren’t cops supposed to have good to great motor skills?” Jean mocks. 

    “You don’t get the cop, you get me.” 

    “There’s a big difference?”

    “Massive.” Harry lies, not breaking eye contact, trying to blindly use his tongue to get his straw back into his mouth.

    Summary

    You come to when the Lieutenant grasps your wrist and bends it back. You don’t know if it's the pain or his low hiss that makes you snap back into yourself, but here you are.

    Your context clues are few. Your heart is pounding, so you are starting to come down from the crest of great excitement or turmoil. Your cheeks are hot, your jaw is locked. Your brow feels tight - you must have been sporting a deep scowl until now.

    You blink a couple of times. In front of you, Jean seems unfazed - whatever just happened didn’t ruffle his feathers. He has an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. He’s biting down on the butt which he hates doing, but the wind is whipping, so strong and violent, he’s been trying to light it for a while now, to no avail. The filter is getting soaked with his saliva and it’s a sensory nightmare in his mouth.

    You’re not sure how you know that.

    “Lieutenant Kitsuragi, what are you doing?” Jean says.

    “Du Bois was going to hit you, Officer Vicquemare.”

    Summary

    In the midst of his reconciliation with Team Wish, Dusknoir begins coughing up flowers. This unfortunate brand of bad luck should be a cosmic joke. A spiteful punishment that the world has brought down on him out of malice, out of vengeance for his past deeds. A cruel, agonizing curse manifested with the single unjustified purpose of preventing him from realizing happiness, ever seeking redemption, ever righting his multitudes of wrongs and moving on with his life. But that's not true, and he knows it deep down. Knows it in the very core of his soul like the flood of petals building in this throat.

    This is his fault because he is a coward, and that's all he has ever been. A backstabbing, lonely coward.

    And now he is going to die because of it.

    Summary

    Around a year since THE HANGED MAN, the murder of a student from Revachol High School drags four of Precinct 41’s best officers from its Bloody Murder Wing out to investigate it. Coinciding with the discovery of a newly-emerged isola with an existing culture and knowledge that will forever change the fate of all in Elysium, Harry can’t shake the feeling that this big change will tie into the investigation of the murder. Kim claims it’s too coincidental, Jean prays it isn’t true, and Judit hopes that if it is, they can all handle it.

    Somebody had unearthed a disco ball. It was probably a New Year tree ornament, with how small it was. It hung under the lamp and studded the ceiling and wallpaper with tiny white stars.

    It's the thirties. Disco is all the rage in Revachol. Eighteen-year-old Dora meets a cool young man at a streetcar stop, and then meets him again at a party.

    Summary

    Harry Du Bois is struggling to re-integrate himself into his old life. His home is full of empty Pilsners and speed bottles, memories of the worse man he used to be. Work has Kim Kitsuragi and Jean Vicquemare and the increasingly complicated relationship between the three of them. The streets of Jamrock speak of childhood traumas, of ex-somethings, of old attempts - but also of a stirring, a change, something new on the breeze. Everywhere seems impossible to be right now - and Harry's the one who has to start putting all the pieces back together.

    Summary

    Somewhere in Martinaise, the snow is falling. The violence is over. The conflict is done. Blood freezes, goes cold on broken tiles. Inside, it is warm. A man sits a bedside vigil besides the body of another man, asleep, shimmering red with fever, his shot up leg crawling with pain. The man sitting vigil shuts his eyes and he ignores the pounding of his head and he ignores the déjà vu of having seen this all before, somewhere in Jamrock in July, six years of a world away.

    ---

    Kim takes care of Harry after the tribunal and is forced to face his own demons: the death of his previous partner, and the very likely death of this new acquaintance (and with it, death to the first hope he's felt in years).

    Summary

    Here and now, in the apartment, the cold air of early spring creeps in through a half-open window. Harry pulls a blue and white polka-dot shirt over his head and awkwardly tugs the shirtsleeves over his arms, the fabric whispering as he moves. Kim thinks about the shivering sound of reeds, rustling in the shallow water.

    He catches himself lingering on the shape of Harry’s calves, and makes himself look away.

    Summary

    Maybe he realises that actually, for once, you were being sincere. He joins you in cloud watching, the silence comfortable. You’re so often on edge around others, a learned response. One of your early guardians had likened you to a feral cat, in constant fight-or-flight, and perhaps they were right. You can’t remember the last time it felt like this. Easy. Comfortable.

    Safe, maybe.
