Summary
The tea is hot and fragrant. The smell is only stronger now, with Kris’ eyes closed. It’s something floral and sweet, lumps of sugar dissolving into a syrupy cloud at the bottom. It reminds Kris of a tea their dad used to make. They grit their teeth. Their lips are chapped, mouth dry. They don’t take a sip. Even if they hadn’t been commanded, they’re not sure they would be able to muster the will to drink. Here they are, having a tea party when their friends don’t— When Noelle—
The old man takes the hint. “Well, if tea’s not your fancy, how about an apple?”

The seed, the sprout, and the bitter end.

Summary
It doesn’t skip his notice. Now that he’s looking at her, really looking at her, he can see how her face flushes a little at the mention of Takeba. Her cheeks bloom with this slight pink hue.
Which he squints at, like he didn’t much understand why someone’s face might turn that colour. In his defense, he wasn’t quite expecting it, but she seems to crack under the pressure of his scrutiny because she startles and looks away.
Oh, he thinks. So that’s how it is.
Fuuka messes up dinner. Shinjiro tries to figure out what's bothering her.

Summary
Daniil Dankovsky still lives. His pulse and respiration rates are on the slow side, but they’re well within the normal range. This is a miracle: he coughed up several bundles of twyre and his own heart less than an hour ago, and now he breathes as calmly as any other sleeping man.
