    Summary

    Marcus's voice cracks, and she has to turn away from Semmelweis to quickly wipe her eyes. "I…I'm glad I could talk to you about Madam Hofmann…thank you. I'll be - fine, I promise - "

    "You don't have to be fine just yet," Semmelweis says quietly. "Everyone grieves at their own pace. It took me years to come to terms with………"

    She trails off, and ends the sentence there. Marcus burns with curiosity, but this isn't the time or place to push - instead, she curls into Semmelweis's warmth and closes her eyes.

    "Thank you," she says again, and that's the last thing she remembers before she drifts off.

    Summary

    "...Oh. No no, I'm okay! I just," Ryuunosuke hunches his shoulders and lowers his voice, "I just really miss him."

    He doesn't elaborate on who him is. He doesn't need to.

    Something flashes across Susato's eyes. "I miss him too," she says, "I miss him too."

    Summary

    "You can't leave here alone, and I would guess that I'll be forced awake if I leave alone. So, what would happen if we…left together?"

    After only a moment of hesitation, Vaseraga nods slowly. "That's good logic, even if it doesn't work out. I think we should at least try it."

    "Okay. On the count of three then. One, two, three - "

    Both Eustace and Vaseraga take a step forward at the same time. There's a burst of light, there's a warmth all over, and -

    Eustace wakes up alone in his own bed, wrapped up in blankets, hugging the plushie version of Vaseraga tightly to his chest.

    Summary

    ningguang transfers to the main liyue branch of the pan teyvat defense corps to estrange herself from her family and start her career from scratch.

    maybe she bites off more than she can chew. maybe she shouldn't get so involved with liyue's dealings when her original plan is to work her way to the top, build her reputation, and return to her hometown. maybe she shouldn't be so swayed by a stranger that it drives her to pick up a career, learn how to make friends, let herself fall in love.

    (except she thinks that, maybe, she's found the place where she belongs.)

    Summary

    The thing is -

    The thing is, Weedy doesn't consider herself a coward.

    She's fine on the battlefield, she's even more fine in the Rhodes Island labs, she's. Okay when it comes to talking to her coworkers and friends. So Weedy thinks it's absolutely unfair that whenever she wants to talk to Whisperain, her brain freezes up and she forgets how to use language to communicate.

    This is awful. This is /awful/.

    Summary

    the fourth, the fifth.

    after that, you lose count. after that, you stop dragging yourself into the cold night air when everyone is asleep, gasping into your hands on a rooftop and watching your tears hit the ground far, far below.

    after that, it's easier to convince yourself that you're a monster and you deserve the crushing guilt, the delicious taste of someone else's pain.

    you'll never be able to eat sweets the same way again.

    Summary

    "...And that's all for today. Anyone else have something to add?"

    "I'd like to add - " Kazunari reaches into the pockets of his jacket, pulls out five neatly folded pieces of paper, drops them in the middle of the group huddle - "this."

    Tenma reaches for one, opens it, frowns.

    "A flyer? For...Tanabata?"
