    But when Nene and Rui are chosen as the two lead roles, all appears to be going well until, a week before the performance, the two wake up having swapped bodies and now must learn how to be each other.

    Summary

    Ena huffed, eyebrows pinching in sudden anger. Anger at what, Mizuki wasn’t really sure, but she didn’t have time to dwell on that as Ena crawled closer. Until their faces were a breath apart. “Good. It should be scary.”

    “What’s that supposed to mean?” Mizuki sucked in a breath.

    “Isn’t that what love should feel like?”

    Mizuki and Ena have a sleepover.

    Summary

    She paused. What was she even doing, holding on to a grudge when he looked just as lonely and sad as she was? She wondered if there was any bad blood or if everything was just one long, drawn-out misunderstanding.

    Because the undeniable truth was something she hated to admit. The one thing she’d been running from.

    After years apart, Ruinene reunite on Tanabata.

    Summary

    She turned off her phone and stretched on her bedside, yawning. That match was certainly… eventful. Whatever this person was going through with their friend, she wished the best for them. It was already thoughtful enough, wasn’t it? To try something out of your comfort zone for someone else.

    It reminded her of how Rui would sometimes play with her whenever he came over. He’d play as Luigi in Super Mario, or Mugman in Cuphead… granted, he almost always died within a few minutes—sometimes seconds—but the thought and effort were there.

    Rui decides to try an FPS game in hopes of getting closer to Nene, soon realizing his lack of knowledge in internet slang.

    Summary

    As the pair walked to the stage, the awkwardness was almost suffocating. Around them, cast members could be heard doing vocal warm-ups, and footsteps scurried all around the area. Nene pointedly didn’t look in his direction and continued walking. She could handle this, right? Rui would be acting alongside her throughout less than half of the musical. And by then she’d have to k—eugh—ki—save me—kiss him.

    When Nene's co-star is unable to perform due to certain circumstances, his replacement turns out to be the boy who'd broken her heart long ago… But maybe, just maybe, things were different this time around.

    Summary

    She simply shook her head and denied the claim. “You’re assuming.”

    “Ah! you wound me so, Princess. I must be right, then—I can see it by the red on your cheeks.” He pointed to her face.

    Nene swiftly turned her head away, now feeling the heat palpable on her skin.

    “Admit it, Princess—I’ve become your object of desire, even if unintentionally.” He leaned in with that tricky grin of his. It made Nene’s prior vitriol melt into fluster.

    When an orphaned Rui is brought into the estate of the Kusanagis, Princess Kusanagi Nene detests him at first, wholly prejudiced towards the boy. Yet his eccentric and well-read nature made him fascinating and all the more confusing to her.

    Summary

    Everything needed to be perfect. Though he had nobody to prove himself to but himself, she remained in the back of his mind in everything he did. It was a feeling he couldn’t name, nothing he could properly describe except a strange wanting in his gut, an almost uncomfortably comfortable sensation—which scared him initially, but instead of letting it grow into anxiety, he let it guide him.

    After watching a play, Rui gets inspired when Nene admires the wedding scene.

    Summary

    As she took the first bite, her mind wandered instead to the garden—something that was in her control. Something she could nurture. Something that couldn’t leave without a sign.

    Plants and flowers were kind to her—understood her in ways people simply couldn’t. Not by hollow words or meaningless gestures, but through the action of her care. She could water the flowerbeds of roses and know they would stay. There was no fear of being misunderstood or ignored; the flowers always responded in blooming, vivid colors.

    In which Nene and Rui are married, and have begun to lose their spark.

    Summary

    It wasn’t fair how Rui could act so carelessly about this. Nene didn’t exactly believe in ghosts either, but she always tiptoed around the subject carefully in case they did exist. With how many horror games she’s played, one would think she would be desensitized by now, but there’s a stark difference between experiencing something through a screen and real life. She’s seen enough movies to know this much: Never mess with what you don’t understand.

    In a search to disprove the existence of ghosts, Rui enlists the (unwilling) help of WxS to hunt for the elusive ghost of Kamiyama! Except, the group ends up finding more than what they expected…

    Summary

    “If I am the remaining vestige of humanity, I’m sorry for having failed everyone. I hope in the future that there exist traces of the best of us for new life to remember us by. But before then, I shall take my leave.”

    After the appearance of the Black Star, the world had been consumed by the heat. Rui, the only survivor, is visited by a piece of his past he thought had perished.

    Summary

    Mizuki had always seen themself as a small, pitiful creature; helpless to the larger forces that snear and entrap them. Ignore it, and they’ll go away, Mizuki would tell themself. Yet as the days, months, years passed, it became apparent that maybe they’ll always be the misshapen piece unable to fit into the puzzle. It could be worse. It could always be worse, and Mizuki knows that. As long as they stayed within their designated line, they wouldn’t be hurt.

    But how far could that philosophy go before the overwhelming weight of loneliness suffocated them?

    A reticent middle school Mizuki meets a self-critical girl who upends their world.

    Summary

    The idea circled Rui’s mind like a lazy boat floating in the sea. Wouldn’t discussing it make things complicated, awkward? Nene could look at him in utter contempt after he admits he has these kinds of feelings for her. Pessimistic? Probably, but Rui wanted to believe he was being realistic.

    He observed the dark ceiling, eyes unfocusing until everything began to blur. Imagining these stars connecting, moving apart, blinking in and out—if someone were to catch him right now, they’d think of him deranged. Then, two stars formed. Very bright stars that seemed to inch closer to each other, until one began to fade, which the second one followed. Slowly, they drifted away.

    Who was he to ruin the friendship? People broke up for pettier reasons, and friendships are so fragile. Maybe he was already walking a fraying tightrope.

    Nene gets confessed to by a classmate. Rui gets jealous.

    Summary

    Yet that wasn’t a promise. Nothing was set in stone that day; no solid words were spoken.

    Rui did call. Mizuki didn’t say she would answer. This happened every other day until the calls and messages stopped.

    Summary

    She truly was invisible to the world—not fully expunged, but gone in a physical sense, as if the dusty remains of erased chalk on a board. If she couldn’t be visible again, everything she’s done to get her here—all of the humiliation, blood, sweat, and tears—would mean nothing if she couldn’t even be seen.

    Ironic, wasn’t it? All that time spent chasing limelight, just for it to slip away.

    Last night was Nene’s worst nightmare.

    Though she had prepared herself more than usual, her slip-up cost the whole show. So, the last thing she expects the next morning is to wake up invisible. Just like the role she played. The worst part? Only Rui can see her.

    Summary

    Then why would he force himself to visit once a year without fail? Guilt? Obligation? Or something more? How she wished she could just pull him close and beg him to stay, to stop growing just a little more different every time she sees him. How his warmth is a spirit to her now. But the distance seems so immeasurable.

    Things have changed. And maybe she should let things run their natural course. She didn’t want to ruin their relationship any more than she already had.

    Ten years after disbanding, the members of WxS have finally gone their separate ways. Yet, Rui and Nene made one last promise—to meet once a year every July 7. Yet, Rui seems different. Almost as if he's pulling away. Nene decides to confront him before he becomes a stranger.

    Summary

    She wouldn’t fully admit it, but she’s missed this. Missed him. Though the two have drifted into two different circles, there’s still some thread, some bind that keeps them close enough, but not far away. There remains parts of themselves they see in the other. Almost like looking into a distorted mirror, but understanding how it’s still some version of you staring back.

    And she’s glad. Glad that they were able to reconnect, even as completely new people compared to when they met, they’ve both changed for the better.

    Summary

    “You’re doing great, love. Feel any better?”

    Nene thought about it. She wasn’t panicking anymore, and she regained feeling in her hands. She unclenched her fists and sighed. “Y-Yeah,” she said. “Yeah, I think I do.”

    “Good.” Rui closed the distance, tucking a strand of stray mint-green hair behind her ear. “May I?”

    No hesitation. Nene nodded.

    Nene gets stage fright, despite her better judgment. Rui notices and comforts her.

    Summary

    Nene yelped. “Don’t sneak up on me like that…”

    Emu giggled, seeming to take joy in her fluster. “Sorry, sorry. I’ll try not to do it next time.”

    “Your schadenfreude scares me.”

    “What? It’s cute—”

    Both girls paused. Did she actually just say that?

    Summary

    “Are you sure you don’t need to rest? You seem, um, dizzy? I can walk you home.”

    Home? Home was the water… She thought, then pointed to the sea. “That is my home.”

    Tsukasa raised both brows. “Are you homeless?”

    “No, I have one. It’s there. I live there.”

    “You can’t really… um…” He tried to be as nice as he could, but this was starting to test him a bit.

    In which Nene, a human-fascinated mermaid, comes across Tsukasa, a tortured actor.
