    Summary

    “I do not wish to speak to you, wanderer.”

     

    “Oh,” a woman’s voice replied. “I’m sorry, I did not mean to disturb you. I’m Melinoë.”

     

    A sickening swoop ravaged his senses. Had he any blood, it would have run cold. An unfamiliar, lost feeling overtook him; his eyes opened and a flash of hope shimmered in his irises.

     

    “Melinoë?” Patroclus looked up, and it all made sense.

     

    or...

    Snapshots of Melinoë running into Patroclus in the Fields of Mourning, and Patroclus' endless self-reflections

    Summary

    He loves her, he thinks, in a weird sort of way. Loves her like a bird loves a cage, like a moth loves a candle flame. She is the one reason he’s alive, and so many of the reasons he wishes he weren’t. She hurts him, but never as much as he wants her to, never enough to soothe his pain. She is the only person on this island that he doesn’t hate, and he thinks this is the closest thing to love he can have now.

    She has succeeded in molding him, but he doesn’t think she’s happy with the result. He is dried clay and sharp pottery shards all in too many pieces to put back together. It doesn’t stop her from trying.

    Odysseus, Calypso, and seven long years.

    Summary

    There is a black hole where your stomach should be.

    Your vision spins, but you smile at Bonnie and take a bite of rice and curry. Bonnie smiles back, wide and gleeful and oh-so ignorant of that hunger gnawing on your bones, digging into their own plate.

    The taste of burnt sugar floods your tongue.

    You.

    You do your best not to throw up.

    Siffrin sits down for a celebratory meal with everyone after breaking free from the loops.

    (aka, everything goes completely normally and siffrin definitely doesn't cry for no reason at all.)

    Summary

    He looks so small, Mirabelle thinks, lying there. Eye closed, hands over his chest like he’s in a casket. Their expression is almost calm. There’s no fear on their face, no hurt, no sorrow. Just quiet acceptance. She hates that look. It’s worse, she decides. Worse than if they looked pained.

    “Why?” Mirabelle whispers. She isn’t sure who she’s asking. Siffrin? Herself? A God who won't answer? "Why did you do this? Why now, why like this? Why didn’t I notice?"

    Siffrin dies. The loop does not end.
