Summary
Ray drives off. Sand follows.
"Can—" his voice breaks, and he's left wordless for a second. Ray is loaded into the back of the ambulance. "Can I come? There's—no one else will come. I need to be there. He can't be alone."
None of what he's saying should be true, but it is, the words tasting sour in his mouth.
He needs to be there.

Summary
"Akk," whispered Ayan from across the room. It was immediately lost in the gloom. Akk could have easily imagined it, had it not been for: "Ai'Akk." The soft sound of rearranging sheets.
Akk gathered himself to make a strangled noise of acknowledgement; anything else and he would lose his grip on the careful edge of self containment.
"Akk," Ayan said, "it will be okay."
Or, Akk's life is going fine. He's fine with his strained friendships, he's fine with what happened at Suppalo, and he's certainly fine ignoring his new roommate, Ayan, during his third year at university. Nothing needs to change.
Nothing will change, if Akk has anything to say about it.

-
"Mad at you?" Jester repeats. "About what?"Fjord taps a rhythm into the railing with a long nail. "About my god," he says. "The Wild Mother--I know you have mixed feelings about Her. And it must have seemed like..." he hesitates. "Like I was choosing Caduceus over you."

Summary
Fjord finds he's not the only one still awake at this late hour. Unfortunately, Caduceus isn't quite as keen on taking a midnight swim as he is.
-
"Fjord, you know I support you in all your endeavors," Caduceus begins. "But I also know what it sounds like when you have... an idea.""An idea?" Fjord repeats. "What do you mean, an idea?"
"Like touching weird objects. Or pushing buttons. Things like that."
Fjord scowls. "I was just going to ask if you--um. Wanted to go swimming."
Caduceus blinks.

Summary
Caduceus Clay's graveyard is burned to ashes. He wakes up on the side of the road with no place to go, and hitches a ride with the first person who will take him away from Shady Creek Run: Ophelia Mardun.
Caleb Widogast's life is burnt to the ground. He wakes up in a healer's room, remembering the screams of his parents, and sets off to Zadash in hope of some form of revenge, or perhaps simply a way to move on.
A different set of circumstances leads to a different road, and a new story.

"You can't," Martin said. Jon's eyes flickered up from his desk, heavily shadowed, but they glazed over Martin with only the slightest hitch. "Jon. Jon, are you listening? Don't go to Hilltop Road."Jon did not hear him.

Summary
When he is with the Mighty Nein he feels lighter even when everything else is more heavy than he ever imagined it could be. Of course, he never imagined people like them existed either. And he never imagined the ocean, wide and forever maybe a mere five hundred paces from where they are in the depths of the jungle.

Summary
Caleb, who has never had a great thing with words when they are not on a written page, has no idea what to say to that. 'Don't be sorry about anything for me, I did this to myself'? 'Your heart is too kind for a place like this'?
Neither of those are fit to be said aloud. Is the second one even true? Caduceus does, in fact, grow flowers from dead people. But that doesn't mean that he is not kind, no. In fact, in the back of Caleb's mind- unacknowledged- he thinks it slightly charming in a morbid way.
