Summary

Or: five piano lessons, and one wherein they indulge.

Summary
Eighteen times she has taken what wasn't offered. Eighteen times she has said 'I love you' and 'I'm sorry' like they were the same word. Eighteen times she has wiped away the evidence and told herself there was nothing left.
But there is always something left. Not just on the skin: on her. Warmth she cannot generate alone, closeness she was never offered, a piece of Sandrone she carries until she can steal it again.
Columbina cannot stop. She knows what she is and she hates herself for it. But stopping would mean giving up the only part of Sandrone she can have and she needs her too much to let go.
Eighteen will become nineteen.

Summary
Sandrone forces herself to take a deep breath. She feels her eyebrow twitch. The singing continues, the same melody, over and over and over again. She stands up, a couple of screws clattering to the ground, and strides over to the entrance, throwing the doors open. “Columbina!”
The Damselette trails off in her singing, placid expression completely unperturbed. Sandrone scowls down at the Damselette. Something about her practiced aloofness makes Sandrone want to rip her calm, serene visage to pieces.
“Shut,” Sandrone hisses, “the fuck up. Some of us have work to do.”
“Sandrone,” the Damselette says, her voice like the murmur of the wind. “I didn't mean to disturb you.”

Summary
"Can you not breathe over my shoulder? I never thought of you as the nosy kind." The bite in her voice lit the fireworks in Arlecchino's heart.
"I'm simply wondering what's so important." After waking up, Arlecchino suggested that both of them walk around Snezhnaya—mainly to air out Sandrone, knowing that with that recluse attitude she hadn't been out in ages. Right before leaving, a letter was given by an agent addressed to Sandrone. Seeing the letter's writer, she decided to read it, delaying their outing. Admittedly and blatantly, it pissed her off. Yesterday, a cup was thrown at her because they hadn't seen each other in weeks, and now the cup thrower was prioritzing something else over their precious time together.
Or a sneak peak in Arlecchino and Sandrone's daily life in a ambiguous relationship when Arlecchino returns from Fontaine
