    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

    Kafka doesn’t love. She obsesses, she lusts, she wants and she devours, but none of those are born from love.

    Her so called ‘feelings’ for Himeko are no different, no matter what it might look like to others.

    Summary

    “Am I dead?” Jingliu gasps.

    “No.” Ruan Mei pries Jingliu’s mouth open, holding the tongue down with her thumb. “You are so delightfully alive. And now I have the pleasure of putting you back together.”

    (Or: Jingliu becomes Ruan Mei’s test subject.)

    Summary

    Baiheng is trouble, pure and simple, and trouble is not what Jingliu needs complicating her life. Besides, she thinks, knowing how time yields to nothing, give her two hundred years and Baiheng will be dead, like everyone else that has passed through her life. Give her enough time, and Baiheng won’t be anything but a memory.

    (or: the rise and fall of the high cloud quintet as recorded and lived through the lens of jingliu and baiheng falling for each other.)

    Summary

    She is an empty carapace of a woman, and Himeko has sparked a curious stuttering in her carefully programmed life.
