    Summary

    Fai was fuming.

    It had barely been a week, and that damned guinea pig already seemed to be doing everything in her power to get on her nerves. And worse than that, now her father was getting more involved as well.

    It was about time Fai set the record straight, before Kaphrao somehow decided that she now held power over her.

    Summary

    It’s Rumi’s turn to frown, though she doesn’t let the expression stay on her face too long. There was a learning curve when she first started escorting souls on her own; maybe this is just the prelude to unlocking a new skill.

    “Let me start over,” she placates, “I think I’m a little out of rhythm. I help guide souls like you to the world beyond. My name is Rumi, and I’m usually a lot better at this.”

    “I’m Zoey,” Zoey smiles. “I think you’re doing great! But I’m definitely not dead.”

    //

    Rumi is the latest in a long line of Shepherds, spiritual chaperones who are tasked with guiding wandering souls toward their homes in the afterlife. Up late studying one night, she feels the usual call of a soul, except this one insists she's not actually dead. While Rumi is trying to figure out how to solve that problem, another soul emerges, which Rumi has been told is impossible. And there's something special about these two that makes Rumi want to keep them.....

    or: a comedy of errors involving too many ghosts, a really stupid cat, and the terrifying reality of finding somewhere you belong

    Summary

    This was it. She could do it—she could just tell them. Now that she’d started, there were a thousand different ways she could tell them directly what she needed to tell them, and all of them were probably saner than what she had in mind. But she’d tried that before and literally never succeeded with that strategy.

    “I’d like to go to the bath house with you,” she said instead.

    Mira dropped her spoon. Zoey’s face lit up like the sunrise over Dokdo.

    “I’d like to be less… modest,” she continued, plowing forward with her absolutely batshit, hare-brained plan. “But…. I think, I need to practice first? At home?”

    -or-

    Rumi tries to come clean. Mira and Zoey bring soap.
