    Summary

    Your husband isn't very good at satisfying you. Sylvain knows this, and insists he can satisfy you far better than your husband ever could.

    Needless to say, he's right.

    Summary

    Drinking and laughing and telling stories—it distracts from the point. It won’t save anyone. Won’t change anything. It’s as productive as if they’d walked back to camp earlier in the day, groping blind in the snow.

    On the cusp of a turning point in the war, Felix suffers a moment of doubt.

    Summary

    You’re supposed to say I love you after kisses.

    You're supposed to say thanks after being handed food.

    You’re supposed to hold on like there’s no tomorrow when a hand is reached out.

    And if you die, you’re not supposed to die at all, because dying right now would be a rather large shame. It won’t fit in your pocket, and where are you going to put it then?

    ***

    Three pairs with names although not the same but similar say 'I love you' to each other.

    But, of course, although similar, they are not the same. Love is different across time. Love is different across space. Love is different depending on what you have on your hands: a harp, an ocarina, or an apocalypse.

    Summary

    “This must be the third time I’ve had to bring you back to the monastery,” she says. “You worry me, sometimes.”

    Marry me, he thinks.

    Post A-support. For the first time ever Sylvain finds himself completely, entirely, whole-heartedly in love. He wants to do something about it.

    Summary

    “If you don’t get proper rest, you won’t be in shape to take the Great Bridge.”

    If he wanted to be lectured, he would have stayed at camp with Judith. “You said it yourself. We’re only staying here for a few hours.”

    “Then share my bed for a few hours.”

    Rest is crucial in wartime, even if it means taking shelter in enemy territory.

    And even if there is only one bed.
