Summary
If someone had asked Phainon how many people had drawn art of him and Mydei kissing even an hour ago, he would have very confidently answered zero. And he would have confidently bet money on that being the correct answer.
It turned out that the actual answer was far more than zero. There were many people drawing art of him kissing Mydei, and many people writing about him being in a romantic relationship with Mydei. Now, if only Phainon could figure out exactly why this discovery was making him feel so weird.

Summary
Phainon stumbles along, too excitedly for someone in an university library. The hand around Mydei's waist is decidedly too close to slipping beneath Mydei's shirt for Castorice's comfort, but who is she to say anything about it? Mydei doesn't seem too uncomfortable by the way Phainon presses up against him, only shoving him aside when he's trying to get his laptop out.
"And you?" Hyacine kicks Phainon under the table, a firm thud that contorts Phainon's face into a pained wince.
"Emotional support?"
"Emotional distress is what you cause."
Phainon is interested in Mydei. Everyone but him realises.

Summary
It was a cultural miscommunication. The product of a cultural difference. Phainon was certain of it. After all, Phainon had hardly been aware of the implications when he first arrived in Okhema. It wasn’t until he attended a class on Okheman theatre at the Grove and they were halfway through analysing a play script from Era Bellica that he was exposed to the symbolism for the first time.
The girl next to him had taken pity and timidly whispered the answer to his question.
Throwing apples was a ploy at seduction.
By the way Mydei happily crunched at the apple perfectly matched to the one he had thrown with every intention for Phainon to catch, and the lack of scandalised attention from the surrounding Kremnoans, tossing apples clearly did not carry the same meaning in Kremnos as it did in Okhema.
A cultural difference over apples leads to some self-inflicted torture on Phainon’s behalf. After all, if Mydei is ignorant to the symbolism then there’s no harm to Phainon indulging in a little fantasy.
