Summary
“Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”
Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.
Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”
While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.

Summary
Mydei’s throat suddenly feels dry when he notices his own reflection.
He lived it, he knows what is happening. And still, it’s a different experience to witness the terror so evident on his twelve-year-old face. His body is littered with injuries, gold smeared everywhere. Blond hair matted against his skull with sweat and blood, snot and tears streaked through his face. The frozen image of him tries to pull away from his captors, the chains of metal shackles pulled taut as he struggles against them.
Mydei feels the phantom tightness around his neck where one of the manacles had been fastened, barely allowing him to breathe.
Phainon and Mydei stand directly between his parents, looming over the miserable image of Mydei in his youth. He forgot how small he used to be, not even reaching their shoulders in his past state.
Phainon's warm palm lands on Mydei’s bare shoulder. “This is too much, we can just—”
Mydei shrugs the hand off himself and activates the shard.
or; Mydei faces the parts of his childhood he thought he left behind

Summary
What hurts the most isn’t the wound. Given enough time, Mydei’s accursed body can heal any blow, even this. Indeed, he sustained worse injuries while battling Nikador; laid down more lives to keep the mad Titan away from Kephale. This is nothing, not really.
...
Or: The Coreflame drives Phainon mad. Mydei is the only one who can hope to slow him down.
