    Summary

    Kazuma stands—graceful; you’d never suspect a thing was wrong with him—and collects his things. He hesitates at the door, though, gaze lingering on Ryunosuke.

    “Do you… need something?”

    Something crosses Kazuma’s face—surprised and frustrated in equal measure. His mouth twists—presses into a line. “I don’t… need anything,” Kazuma says. Slowly; carefully. Then, like whiplash: "Goodnight."

    Or: Kazuma, and the terrible act of wanting.

    Summary

    Van Zieks rises from his chair, pacing over to his window. “You are to take a sabbatical. As long as it takes for you to go to your homeland, get your head together, and return.”

    Asougi stares at his back, taking a moment to process it – Van Zieks had spoken calmly but in full seriousness, his typical tone, as if he were doing something as simple as telling Asougi to read about the case he’d just gotten. “Pardon?”

    Summary

    You are different, Flame-of-burning-oak told him. You are not waiting-for-Our-Maker. You cannot hear the emptiness where once we felt his song.

    I dreamed I was an elf, he confessed, I dreamed I was an elf, and he burned me. I heard Our-Maker laugh, while hot iron seared my skin.

    A nice dream, decided Flame-of-burning-oak, and he thought that she did not understand him, that she had never understood him, and probably never would.

    --

    A fire from the centre of the world dreams of being an elf, but knows those dreams cannot be real. What he encounters upon finally coming to the surface throws everything he thinks he knows into question.
