Summary
“Just so I'm clear.” Mydei crosses his arms, studying Phainon with an expression somewhere between amusement and disbelief. “You want to recreate a sweet that doesn't exist here, using replacements for the most basic ingredients, because they also don't exist."
“That about sums it up,” Phainon says.
“And what's the occasion?” Mydei tilts his head. “Is confectioner the newest career you've decided to explore?”
When Phainon learns of a holiday meant for love declarations from the Astral Express crew, he sees an opportunity to finally tell Anaxa what he's been holding in for so long - with a little help from his friends.
How hard could it be to recreate Valentine’s Day traditions, really?

Summary
“That’s not childish.” If he had a heart, he’s sure it would be pounding. “That’s the definition of peace. The soul’s greatest desire. It is never too far out of reach.”
“Isn’t it?” Phainon whispers, but his brow gentles, posture relaxing into the chilly night's air. “And what is it you desire, Anaxa?”
A touch, as the baby dromas snuggles close, and for one fleeting moment, an image crosses his thoughts. Watching the sunset, satisfied from a day fulfilled by the gentle touch of companionship and a homecooked meal. They'd have a home, together.
“Peace,” Anaxa says eventually. “I, too, desire peace.”
Anaxagoras has fifteen days left to alter the course of Amphoreus' history for good, and he's resigned every hour to it wreathed in the slow and agonizing deterioration of a body that is already dead. The plan was to spend the brunt of it alone, in the solitary halls of his quarters.
The plan did not include Phainon, who shows up at his door in the middle of the night, asking for a place to stay.
or: Anaxa is dying. Phainon disagrees.

Summary
“What are you afraid of?”
A common question that Phainon’s asked by now, and Anaxa’s answers always differed each time. And with each response, he allowed the other to see— little by little— what truly lingered inside the mind of the great scholar, opening doors that Anaxa believed he would always keep closed.
Or: the three times Phainon’s tried to see into the heart of Anaxa, and the one time Anaxa tried to see into his.

Summary
"Hey, have you heard?"
"There's a new rumor going around Okhema..."
Phainon would never deny that he wasn't the curious type, but when rumors start circulating around the streets about the mythical Lady of the Lake, he finds himself a little more than intrigued. What if he were to try finding her himself?

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.
