Summary
In life as in music and poetry, we all search for our natural rhythm. The cadence that carries us through joy and struggle alike.
In “Another Me”, Kris's left hand stops responding to their will. Their musical world collapses—and so do they. As anxiety, isolation, and an increasing sense of doom blur the line between reality and nightmare, a disturbing voice wearing their own face whispers that they don't deserve their place in their program or in this world.
"You, Us" shifts perspective to Ralsei, who finds himself navigating unfamiliar emotional territory in the wake of crisis. As he and Kris fumble through the realities of the world around them, and tentative domestic dreams, deeper questions emerge for him: Can relationships survive the kind of brutal honesty that breakdown demands? Can love survive after being left out in the cold for so long? And what happens to your sense of self when you don’t live for yourself, but for someone else?
Structured as musical compositions (AM) and poetry (YU) rather than traditional chapters, this series asks whether we can create something meaningful from the hardest moments in our lives.

Bookmarker's Notes
Truly a wonderful set of works. Heavy, and certainly not a lighthearted read; but important, and beautifully written.

Summary
In every sense of the word, it was a miracle Dr. Ryland Grace lived past 50. Between a forceful medically induced coma, the incident above the planet Adrian, and the close call with starvation on the way to Erid, Grace by every right should not have made it. He chalked it up to being bad at most things, including dying, somehow.
---------------------
All of Erid, including Rocky and Adrian, have accepted and come to terms with their savior preparing for the end of his life. One Eridian hasn't.

Summary
Akira Kurusu didn't expect to be running Leblanc straight out of high school, but with Sojiro retiring and leaving him the cafe, he finds himself calling it home once again. Under his calm demeanor, he aches to do more good. His hands feel empty without a dagger, and he struggles to fall into a normal adult life. Then rumors of an unidentified man who drowned on dry land going missing from the hospital start circulating...
Goro Akechi is unrecognizable from the man he was a year ago. Every mirror he passes is a reminder of his fall from grace, every mention of the missing detective prince sending ice down his spine. But worst of all? He has to rely on Akira for help once again, and he can always feel his companion's eyes on him. With Shido out of the picture, he struggles to find purpose in the life he's now forced to live.
Aigis is the only one she knows who remembers the events of a year ago. The only one who remembers the warmth of his hand and his soft, tired smile as he stood by her, nearly a decade after his death. After a year of searching, she finds herself at an unassuming cafe on the backstreets of Tokyo. She's looking for an Answer that even a retired criminal and detective will have trouble finding.

Summary
The Barrier's broken and the monsters are stepping out into a Surface they've dreamed of for years uncountable and forgotten. The human that helped them break through is at their side, just as unfamiliar and unsure about the Surface as they are. Upon first glance, the monsters stumble upon another human as they emerge from their prison. A human like any other, but to the monsters 'any other' human has been instrumental to regaining their footing on the Surface. Will this one be too? And are blushed cheeks something every human wears on the Surface? Come along on a journey with humans trying to understand magic, and the memories that follow. Following not as candles that warm, but as shadows that haunt. The human condition changes ever so much when exposed to magic, but how much? And how much can one human take before becoming determined?
A smorgasbord of events from tidying up a goat family to magic of the soul!
