    Mydei’s eye twitched, fingers curling around the apple protectively, “Surely he doesn’t know what it meant… right?” If he did, Mydei would be pissed that Phainon just ran away after dropping this bomb.

    Anaxa let out a chuckle, “If you are referring to Mnestia’s myth of tossing apples to mean a declaration of romantic love, then perhaps not. It wasn’t a required part of the Grove’s curriculum.”

    Suddenly, an idea blessed by Cerces herself came to him.

    Or,

    5 times that Mydei tried to make Phainon blush, and 1 time he actually does

    Summary

    “I believe the grenade that man hurled at you is actually a curio called A Widow’s Lament.”

    “Uh, a what?” Aventurine blubbers like an idiot. “What kind of curio is that?” 

    Ratio crosses his arms over his chest. “It’s a curio made by a scientist on Vega-IX. Someone from the Armed Archaeologists managed to discover this curio buried underneath a research facility there.”

    “Okay, and what does it do?” Aventurine asks, as if he doesn’t already know the answer. The painful throb in his chest is still persistently there, after all. 

    “I think you already know what it does,” Ratio says with a look of pity.

    Or in which Aventurine gets cursed by a curio that compels him to speak only the truth and refuses to go down alone.
