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.

Summary
The problem with Phainon is that—well. There's actually no problem with Phainon, if you discount the fact that he works six days a week and spends his single day off being on-call; his intertwining savior-hero-martyr complex (according to Cyrene); his ugly rusted beat-up truck (according to Hyacine); his general demeanor and boring lifestyle (according to Cipher).
In which Phainon has an ethical crisis.

Summary
For a moment, all Mydei does is stare. He wants to see Phainon drop that veneer of professionalism. He wants to see what Phainon's real laugh looks like. He wants to see Phainon, truly see him without all the shine and glamour obscuring his vision.
Slowly, deliberately, so that his intentions can't possibly be misread, Mydei says, "If you have nowhere else to be, you could come over to my place."
Or, Phainon is the Flame-Chase's top-rated host, five consecutive years and counting, and Mydei can't seem to keep his eyes off him.

Summary
It seems it cannot be avoided. Not exactly like Mydei is avoiding physicality in any sense of the word, but he had held off in order to measure Phainon's longevity. Now that he's found it to be unfortunately deficient, it seems that critical action must be taken. He owes it to him, doesn't he? It just…remains to be seen if Phainon's interest is piqued by such a notion.
It certainly does not save him from feeling like a predator circling it's prey, sizing up a meal to fill the maw in his chest. Perhaps he should bear some level of shame for actively planning something like this; a proverbial setting of the snare for the other to walk into, one last test in order to present his suggestion. But they've fought like wild dogs, and they've bathed together. This is just the next natural step.
mydeimos has noticed the deliverer's stamina lacking in their latest spars. he endeavors to assist him with this problem through unconventional means.
phainon accepts the proposal, but his endurance...isn't as poor as he made it seem.

Summary
There was a brief pause, as if both of them were struggling to find the right words to say, until—
"You cut your hair?"
"You're a woman?"
What the fuck. "What the fuck?"
After years of being apart, Phainon realises that her cute childhood friend, Mydeimos, is not a boy, but a (really hot) woman with eyes only for her.
