    Summary

    “Will you still disappear if you’re holding on to someone?” Tingyun can’t help but wonder aloud. “What if I hold your hand?”

    “How will you predict when I’m about to disappear?” Yao Guang asks dryly, although to Tingyun’s credit, the other woman looks extremely amused. “Or maybe you should just hold my hand indefinitely and see what happens.”

    or, in the middle of a very important competition, Tingyun considers a very important experiment (among other things).

    Summary

    Inevitable, beyond the mere concept of inevitability. Kafka had been one of the best before she retired at a mere twenty-five, and it had been sheer talent that propelled her there. Even back then, Himeko had known—Kafka was a storyteller, and not even five years of retirement could snuff out that flame.

    It’s an issue. A big one.

    Because if Kafka gets this role, then the ghost becomes flesh. The phantom gets a call sheet, a trailer, a wardrobe rack, and three months of shared scenes and early mornings and Yao Guang’s terrifyingly intimate notes on eye contact. If Kafka gets this role, Himeko will have to stand across from her every single day and pretend that the last five years did not leave a strange little bruise somewhere beneath her ribs.

    or, they're actresses, Kafka reemerges after five years of radio silence, and Himeko wonders what the hell she did to deserve this.

    Summary

    Two girls who've built a language out of group chats, pinky promises, and plausible deniability - until Prague, when the ice goes quiet and Isabeau's gaze drops exactly one inch too low. Some things can't be blamed on champagne.
