    Summary

    Hua watched her with a wary eye. Slowly, and with a voice coated in twisting grapevines, she asked, “If… you’re going to the store tonight, can you buy a different flavor of tea?”

    Mei looked over at her in slight confusion while she rinsed the mug. She turned off the sink to garner a good look at her.

    “I thought you like floral tea?” Mei asked her, disbelieving.

    Hua grimaced and rubbed a few fingers on her sore throat. “I do,” she said. “I assume it’s the sickness, but the floral taste it’s— it’s a little strong for me now.”

    Or, Fu Hua had built a garden for her love, though she doubted Kiana and Mei would ever step foot in it.

    Summary

    It will be dawn soon, and Hua has stayed awake the entire night. But no matter. The body of a MANTIS does not need much rest, and she cannot go to sleep now.

    After all, Kevin and Su will be arriving soon.

    Summary

    Sometimes when fighting the darkness became too overwhelming and tiring, Hua would lie down on the pillow bed by the side of the lounge and quickly fall asleep afterwards.

    Eventually, she wasn't the only one anymore.

    Summary

    But as with all things, dreams must come to an end, so Nahida sighs and focuses on more important matters. Such as, the stunned girl with white hair sprawled on her knees, leaflets nestled in her braid. She looks up at Nahida with a completely bewildered expression. It’s like looking into a mirror.

    Nahida looks down. Black knee length shorts.

    “Oh. Whoopsies.”

    “Whoopsies,” Scaramouche says, and her own voice comes out. “That’s all you’ve got? Whoopsies?”


    Sometimes, getting to know a person is to walk a mile in their shoes, literally. Other times it’s taking pictures of the things you like, and going for joyrides in the middle of the night. It’s about finding a friend you never knew you needed, in the last place you’d ever look. About wishing you were worth sticking around for, and realizing you were enough all along.

    Summary

    “Where?” Takina whispers to herself beneath the rush of the shower at Chisato’s old safehouse, scalding water a cascade over her back save for where a patch of gauze rests over her left shoulder. “Where are you, Chisato?”

    Takina's wounds are anything but skin deep. Recovery is anything but easy.

    Nothing ever seems to be, when it comes to Chisato, but that's never stopped her before.

    Summary

    “Takina,” Chisato says, breathing in the cool sea air. “I’m glad to be alive.”

    Maybe Takina says something in response, or maybe she doesn’t; Chisato can’t quite focus, because there is something about the other girl’s silhouette, bathed in the orange of the horizon, that makes her unable to think much at all.

    or:

    Chisato experiences the privileges of the living: hot summers, life on the beach, and falling in love. She wishes that last one was a bit easier.

    Summary

    Holding onto words unsaid? Missing someone dear? Wishing for one last meeting?

    If so, walk a block beyond Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, turn down the third alleyway before Fourth Street, and enter the teahouse that sits at the end.

    Despite being unlisted on any review website, rest assured that word-of-mouth reviews praise the nameless shop. Serving tea exclusively, it works as the perfect meeting spot to exchange final parting words.

    No need to call ahead. If you and the other party both desire a reunion enough, consider your reservation already made.

    So, go visit! The owner is always more than happy to serve her guests a cup of tea.


    Sometimes, in Lumine’s teahouse that allows the living and the dead to meet, a wish for one last chance to say what should have been said is granted. Other times, learning to move on after loss is the only other option.
