    Summary

    (I did it all for THEM. I gave everything for this world.)
    (Look where it got you — you’d be better off dead, don’t you think?)

    Decadence only goes so far. Falling feels like flying, until the ground comes.

    Summary

    Cipher stared. “Stelle, I love you, but if you get into a hostile sexual-tension situationship with a future policy advisor, I will throw you into the nearest ethics seminar.”

    Stelle groaned, flopping forward onto the table like she could melt through it. “He’s just…so smug. Like he read Foucault in the womb and never recovered.”

    “And yet here we are,” Cipher said, sipping her chai, “with you red in the face and stealing pastries like a woman in crisis.”

    “I’m not in crisis,” Stelle said, cheeks warming further. “I’m…curious. That’s all.”

    “Oh yes. Just a casual anthropological interest in whether or not his tongue is as thorough as his debate style.”

    “I hate you.”

    Summary

    "You're really beautiful," Mydei mused absentmindedly in Kremnoan, staring at Phainon. "Someday, I'll gain the courage to tell you how much you mean to me."

    Phainon paused. "What did you just say?"

    Or: Mydei develops a habit of confessing to Phainon in Kremnoan. It's not like Phainon would understand him anyways, right?

    Summary

    “Glad to see you back among the living,” Phainon says through a yawn, clearly having spent the night in the uncomfortable chair in the infirmary by Mydei’s side. Like he often does.

    Mydei’s head hurts. Just the regular kind of pain, easily managed by ignoring it until it goes away. But what makes it worse, is the confusion at his predicament. The memories returning to him in death used to vary in time and people who appeared in them. Why is it always Phainon nowadays?

    “Fuck you,” Mydei says, hoarsely. He feels like he is losing his mind.

    Phainon’s mouth locks mid-yawn and he blinks down at him stupidly, tilting his head with confusion. It’s probably fair, he hasn’t even done anything to earn Mydei’s ire as of late.

     

    or; Human brain lives for a few more minutes after dying, replaying the most cherished memories. Mydei starts seeing Phainon after each of his deaths.
