    Summary

    “They’re going to butcher me,” she murmurs. Her thumb traces a circle over the knuckle of your pointer finger, again. She slides a nail under the edges of a misshapen scab, toying with its lacy frill of dead skin.

    “He’ll eat anything.”

    “Oh?” She looks up at you, amused. “And you’ll let him?” Her nail works its way deeper in, and with a pinch, the scab falls away to a dot of bright blood. “You’re not interested in a taste?”

    Quanxi is the end, executioner, and eater.

    Summary

    Quanxi blinked, perplexed by the soft, warm press of Makima’s fingers against her lips when the woman gracefully reached out to pluck the cigarette from Quanxi’s mouth. Between a teasing smile, she placed Quanxi’s cigarette.

    Quanxi swallowed thickly. Her pale face was red. Struck dumb in the heart of a foreign city, she felt more naked now than she had ever felt while in her devil form. She couldn’t remember the last time that happened. No, that’s a lie… she thought. There must have been a time before, but—she flinched, and clutched her throbbing head. Her body knew the truth. It sang its verses in her stuttering heart, in the cold shiver that ran up her spine.

    Summary

    Pingtsi, Tsugihagi, Cosmo, Long. You think of the press of their cool skins on yours, the way they would sun themselves on your body heat, and focus on where the edges of your fingers and palm are turning white.

    The memory begins to bleed out its warmth.

    She crouches down to look you in the eye, and tilts her head. “There’s no use in resisting. Chivalrous as you are, Quanxi, you’ve always been too much of a realist.”

    Denji declines the trip to Enoshima. Makima has to make other plans.

    Summary

    She had never known love like this, love that kept the fire in her chest stoked yet contained, all the burning and desire for violence and revenge and inflicting pain somehow coaxed into a life of packing lunches and folding laundry. It was the greatest sense of purpose she could ever hope to achieve. For a woman like Nobara, Maki could do anything and everything to make it home. She would do anything and everything.

    It’s been six years since the events at Shibuya. Maki Kugisaki, special grade sorcerer, has risen out of the ashes to make a name for herself and start a family. It's unfortunate, then, that she's having a lot of trouble escaping the one she was born into.
