    Summary

    Himeko, a skilled mechanic, spends a late night in her garage working on a restored muscle car when the calm is interrupted by Kafka, a notorious underground racer, who arrives in a battered, smoke-spewing wreck. Despite her disdain for Kafka's reckless reputation, Himeko reluctantly agrees to repair the car after Kafka offers cash and a tantalizing promise of information. As Himeko works through the night, the two engage in a tense but revealing exchange, highlighting their contrasting philosophies on cars and racing. By dawn, the car is fixed, but the encounter leaves Himeko unsettled, sensing that this meeting marks the beginning of something she can't quite define—or control.

    Summary

    Xilonen’s eyes widened, and her jaw went slack for a moment before she managed to speak. “You wore them into an explosion?” The question escaped her, half incredulous, half exhausted.
    “Well, yeah! They’re supposed to be tough, right?” Mavuika’s signature grin returned, though there was an unmistakable tinge of awkwardness behind it. She gave a small shrug, as if that somehow justified everything. “I figured they could handle it.”
    Xilonen closed her eyes for a long moment, pressing her fingers to her temples as if trying to physically push away the rising tide of exasperation. This woman… She inhaled deeply, holding onto her last thread of patience. Every encounter with Mavuika stretched it a little thinner, and today was no exception.

    The Pyro Archon has a knack for breaking things—especially her sunglasses. And every time they shatter, she finds herself back at Xilonen’s workshop.

    Summary

    Wealthy, influential, untouchable. The Schnee name comes with many perks, which Weiss takes advantage of however she damn well pleases. Shouldn't that be her right for dealing with her father, who dictates her life for her and uses her as a pawn in his illicit schemes?

    Everyone else bends to HER whims, HER desires. If they don't like it, too bad. This was how it's always been and how it would always be.

    At least, that's what she thought until a young cop piques her interest...and radically changes the way she sees the world.

    Summary

    They don’t say anything to each other. They don’t have to. The clock ticks in the corner and helps Navia calm the rapid pounding in her chest. Clorinde’s fingertips running up and down her arm and the way Navia can close her eyes and listen to her heartbeat is all that she needs. All that they need.

    All she ever wanted was for Clorinde to feel safe. To feel loved and wanted and worth it, like Clorinde had always done for her.

    There is no Navia without Clorinde. No Clorinde without Navia.

    Or, from beginning to end, how Clorinde falls in the bloom of their youth, the way Navia follows suit in the aftermath, and how they continue to intertwine.

    Summary

    Navia stands up and nearly spills her tea in the process, and Clorinde startles.

    With her palms slammed into the table, she blurts out, “We should get married!”

    It takes precisely four blinks for Clorinde to say anything. A traill of her tea runs down from her knuckle to the bone of her wrist, though Clorinde doesn’t seem to mind nor care.

    “We should… what?” Clorinde says.

    Or, Navia proposes they make an arrangement of sorts. But she's sure that it won't mess with their friendship at all, she insists.

    Summary

    They faced each other now before the figural crossroads—to waver or not to waver—and Furina clasped her hands before herself, breathless when she guided them down the untrodden path.

    “Would you like to come inside?”

    To be so daring at such a late hour was unexpected; Furina swayed, winded, made curious all the more by the responding incline of Arlecchino’s head.

    Or, Arlecchino is but one temptation Furina cannot shake.

    Summary

    “How long until you forget my name, Acheron?” Black Swan asks.

    “Depends on how deep you wish to carve yourself.” Acheron doesn’t smile, but there’s something in her words that makes Black Swan’s lips tug into one.

    “Is that a warning, or an offer?”

    (Or: Black Swan finds herself distorting the fabric of reality out of love for Acheron.)

    Summary

    Acheron has always wondered what would happen if someone were ever to access her memories. Having never met anyone capable of doing so, it seemed a fruitless thought experiment, yet her mind has always wandered back to that question. If someone could see the things she couldn't; sharpen those hazy memories into the clarity she had never been able to find.. what would they see? Each day she wakes up in a cold sweat, sometimes with fragments of a tortured dream, and sometimes with no remnants at all; but always with a deep, immovable sense of dread. If there were indeed someone who could pull back the curtain, would they feel it too?

    The woman with sunset eyes is the first to try and find answers.

    Summary

    Black Swan remembered the day she abandoned her body vividly. It was hard to forget seeing your own flesh and blood dissolve away into nothing before your very eyes, no matter how much one might wish to.

    The flesh was confining and transient. It was limited by the physical laws of the world, and encumbrance for those that moved about in the realm of the spirit and memory.

    The body was crude. It needed, and craved, and feared, and hungered, and desired.

    Acheron made Black Swan remember what it meant to have a body.
