    Summary

    “I don’t understand why you’re reaching out to these people,” Sae-byeok says to Gi-hun. “I can’t imagine even seeing them on the street, let alone inviting them for…” she reaches forward to pick up one of the invitations Gi-hun painstakingly created as he fumbled through an online Photoshop class some weeks ago. “…an ‘All-Expenses-Paid Squid Game Survivors Reunion Vacation on Jeju Island.’”

    or:

    The one where Gi-hun arranges a group vacation for all survivors of the Squid Game one year later, bringing Sae-byeok and Ji-yeong careening unexpectedly back into each other’s lives for the first time since that whole getting-shot-in-the-head incident.

    Summary

    "Do you think it's kind of weird to be shopping for bathing suits when the world is ending?" Robin wondered. "Like a kind of... you know. Violins on the Titanic, you know?"

    "No," Nancy said with her particular brand of certainty. "Because first of all we are actively working to stop the end of the world most of the time. And second of all-" She held out another bikini on a hanger and raised an eyebrow. Robin just shrugged helplessly. Nancy rolled her eyes. "Second of all, I need a new bathing suit. Come on."

    Summary

    “I meant what I said,” Kafka replies casually. “Not everything is about you. I could just be here to get my brunch, minding my own business."

    “You really expect me to believe that?” Himeko says hotly. “How awfully convenient that you were sitting outside the one restaurant where I was on my first date in months.”

    Kafka shrugs. “Coincidences can be so funny when they want to be, can’t they?”

    Or, Himeko tries to move on from a volatile relationship by going on dates again. Kafka is never more than a few steps behind.

    Summary

    Himeko feels conflicted. If Kafka’s so good at bringing peace at her fingertips and metaphor, why can’t she do the same in reality? Why surrender to a fate that inclines you to kill, blood spilling at your feet? Himeko felt confused, because she’s starting to waver. She has the Express— a family to look after as a mother figure. She has the Express where she can be at an arm's reach in the universe she loves, making wishes at every dying star in the galaxy.

    And now she hates that she wishes this becomes real, too. Something that lasts forever.

    or

    Himeko has insomnia, and Kafka offers to be her companion in every night she's available.
