   Summary

   It’s like this.
   Rumi is a liar.
   Rumi is dead.
   This is what it is.
   Rumi is in front of them, again, even if they do not know her yet.
   She knows, she knows them in every universe, in every story.
   Here is a secret for you:
   Even when her girls are the death of her, Ryu Rumi has forgiven them before they can ever think to be sorry.
   Here is a second secret, now that she’s in the business of spilling it all:
   Ryu Rumi will find her girls in every breath, in every life.
   Here is your final secret, as cherry lips are oh so full of life:
   Ryu Rumi doesn’t want to leave her girls, and yet she must. Energy cannot be created, cannot be destroyed, only borrowed, and all she knows how to do is take.
