    Summary

    Cold steel snapped around his wrist. Phainon blinked as one end of the handcuffs was locked to the rack behind him, the other dangling uselessly from his now-free hand.

    He stared. “You!”

    She stepped back, flipping the data chip between her fingers like a coin. “You make this too fun, Khaslana. You looked good tonight, by the way. I like this coat.” She turned, hand already on the door.

    “Stelle,” he called. “You know I’m going to catch you eventually.”

    She smiled like the devil. “Then I’ll just have to keep making it worth your while.”

    Summary

    You are a dedicated and conscientious professor at the Akademiya, committed to both teaching and learning as much as you can about Sumeru and its phenomena. Recently, you joined a study with your associates and gained valuable insights into the workings of the irminsul and the ley lines. Not everything had been going as planned, though; you keep misplacing important documents, letters keep going missing, and you get kidnapped, of course.

    (In short, dottore kidnaps you, arguments and banter ensue.)

    Summary

    The doctor deliberately wants to make Lumine experience the bitterness of separation and her own failures, so that she will make a decision and so he...
    He got his...
    His...

    And then it dawned on the traveler. It dawned on her what he'd wanted all along.
    What he wanted from her.

    To join him. Simple as that. He was literally staging this performance just for this one goal.

    No matter how cool and objective Dottore seemed, this pathetic desperation to win her trust led to a contradiction with his principle: "One person, one chance". Lumine knew she stopped fit into this rule long ago, and only after noticing THIS fact out loud would it be interesting to see Dottore's reaction.

    And then, in a disgustingly sweet voice, she could hypothesize that maybe he fell in love with her, oh poor Doctor.

    However, does Lumine suspect that such insolence could have consequences?

    Summary

    “Horrified?” He huffs, a self-loathing noise from low in his throat. “Glad you finally got to see the monster I am? Is your curiosity at last sated, my lady? How does the regret of your choice feel?”

    Summary

    “You know, on second thought, I do have something to ask you, dear,” he said, clearing his throat. He turned towards her and gently placed her hands on his own. He flashed a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Consider it a researcher’s fixation.”

    Lumine squeezed his hands and gazed up at him with curiosity. Her golden irises were probably his favorite detail above all. “Of course, Zandik. You know you can ask me anything.”

    He cupped her cheek tenderly, then asked, “Why did you reject me?”
