    Summary

    As Asa lay broken on the pavement, her final, bitter thoughts were that she wished she had been less afraid to allow people to get close to her.

    Before her vision fades, her eyes focus on a pair of yellow eyes glaring at her from a storm drain. A rat scurries out of the shadows, and she hears a woman's soft voice in her head.

    "I can save you. Give your body to me."

    Summary

    After failing to meet up with Denji at Crossroads, Reze expected it all to be over, her dream killed by Makima, that she would spend the rest of her life in servitude, but what followed next surprised her. Instead of being collared, she's been given a scool uniform, a new lease on life, but all under threat of Makima's unknown purposes, and the most frustrating part is her task to befriend an unknown individual.

    Just who is Mitaka Asa, and why should Reze get close to her?

    (Reze's end of Makima's Perfect Loop)

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR LATE SEPTEMBER

    When she is twelve years old, Rella Cygnus is given a terrible task--the assassination of the king. The curse she casts doesn't quite kill him, but it lingers and lasts and wears him down. In the aftermath, as the King is confined to bedrest and increasingly isolated from court, the Prince is left to navigate the politics of a court that sees him as an inconvenient hurdle to be overcome.

    The Prince is six years old, with a hunger for books, a habit for getting into places he shouldn't, and an increasingly odd collection of friends.

    It seems like a pretty fair fight.
