    Summary

    She says, "I'm actually looking for someone. The captain of the Sand Steamer said that he'd heard a rumor that Vash the Stampede is on board. I understood him to have blonde hair and a red jacket…" She looks at Vash, who hastily climbs back into his chair. Wolfwood retakes his as well, though he does it as if it was his idea to stop fighting all along.

    With profound earnestness, Vash answers, "I heard he's also incredibly handsome and dashing. But may I ask why you're looking for him?" (Across the table, Meryl rolls her eyes so hard that she nearly gives herself a hernia. She is truly stuck with the corniest man alive.)

    "My name is Eleanor Forthright," the young woman explains, "and my stepfather's just been murdered."

    There's another moment of staring and silence. Weakly, Vash says, "It wasn't me, I just got here."

    Eleanor blinks, and then she presses her lips together. "No, sir, I'm not accusing you. I'm asking for your help to find out who did it."

    “Have you heard of Millions Knives?” doesn't usually get a response, but “Have you heard of God?” sure does.

    Summary

    Knives spent his last moments on Noman's Land with no regrets. Sure, he regretted some of the methods he used in his attempt to eradicate the human race and to convince Vash face the truth, but he didn't regret what he did. Using the last of his powers to gift an apple tree, Knives was ready for the calming embrace of death. What he wasn't ready for, however, was being abruptly woken up by Vash 150 years ago on SEEDS ship number 5. On the very day he crashed the ships.

    Knives is given another chance relive his final day with Vash and Rem aboard the spaceship. He plans to not make the same mistakes in this life as he did the second. He knows exactly how this day will begin and how it will end, but what he doesn't account for is another presence on the ship with them.

    Summary

    “I’ll get somewhere.” Knives says, defiant. The borrowed cloak draped over his shoulders is made of well-worn fabric, embossed with the symbol of the Seven Cities and fraying at the edges from whipping in the wind. It’s itchy against his skin – Knives has never itched before. “No matter how long it takes. I’ve gotten there before, I can do it again.”

    “Was it worth yer time?”

    It strikes Millions Knives as intensely pathetic, that he is debating philosophy with a witless cowboy.

    Summary

    This is the life he’s lived since July. Not as an outlaw, a gunslinger, the man on the posters with the unthinkable bounty. He’s been on this little ranch in this town that’s barely on the map. He’s been doing laundry.

    Vash must sense the mounting danger, because he glances back over his shoulder, forcing Wolfwood to send his gaze out the window instead. One sun has set, the secondary one bathing the desert outside a murderous, suitable red. “Take your coat off, stay a while,” Vash says gently, which only winds Wolfwood up tighter. “Or, well, I guess my coat.”

     

    That’s it—

    Summary


    When Kim Dokja comes home from school, there is a man sitting in the kitchen talking to his mother, pale and wan and with dark circles under his eyes, like he’s been having a hard time getting a good night’s sleep.

    “Ah, this is my brother,” Lee Sookyung says. “Your… uncle.”

    “...Really?” says Kim Dokja.

    Or: Kim Dokja (9 years old) slowly and unwillingly opens up to the new mysterious uncle he never knew he had. Meanwhile, Kim Dokja (28 years old???), also against his will, learns to love himself by pretending that ‘himself’ is the tiny nephew he never asked for.

    Summary

    Sometimes, he thought, there was supposed to be someone else. Some noble hero who could laugh and smile, and knew when to stay his hand. Humanity deserved someone like that to save them. And instead, through some sort of cosmic mistake, they’d gotten Nai instead.

    Someone crashes Project SEEDS into No Man's Land, but it isn't Nai. In fact, Nai might be humanity's best chance of survival.
