Summary
Gus reclined on his chair like a profuse wise old sage stroking his make-believe beard. “I believe tomorrow is a sacred human tradition known as Valour-times’ Day.”
"Valour-times," she repeated, with just a bit more than a hint of disbelief in her voice. "And you're... sure that this is the way humans spell it?" "Positive!" Gus replied immediately. "How else could they have spelt it?"
She squinted. “Valour-times.”
“Yep!”Or: Amity learns of a specific human tradition.

Summary
To be a cook in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody kitchen imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of gastronomy and culinary arts, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of payday and a raise, for in the grilled darkness of the burnt lamb there are only customer complaints. There is no peace amongst the restaurants, only an eternity of slicing and dicing the garnish, and the laughter of hungry patrons.

Summary
She’s killed before. She’s been injured before. But nothing could compare to this. It’s like the sword is sliding between her ribs just as it slides between his. It’s like her heart rips open in time with the brutal rhythm of his coming to a stop.
When he finally falls, she can’t comprehend it. The raging cacophony of the battle turns to white noise in her ears. Her brother— Her protector—
Reinhardt is dead.
--
or: Reinhardt dies, Olwen grieves, and life goes on.
