Summary
The old man’s place is still the same: his rows upon rows of heavy books remain intact, as do the table covered in wares and the musty red curtains that make Ralsei sneeze. But the cheery fireplace has long since gone cold, and the room’s only other occupant is a lone statue of the old man in his armor, rusty and uncomfortably familiar.
No, this place will never be the same. The sooner they get out of here, the better.
Under the crushing weight of her newfound grief, Susie breaks. Luckily, she's not alone.

Summary
Thought it was a shame that we never got to see what happened after the interruption at the end of chapter 3, so decided to write about it.
Susie finds Tenna in The Cold Place, and fixes him up with a little help from some friends.

Summary
It's hard to find good company when you're not sticking around a place for all that long. At least, that's what Tenna figures. He doesn't want to get all that close with anyone, and yet, someone worms in close anyways. Maybe he's had a few too many drinks that evening, as well...
Or in other words, Tenna and Gerson meet :)

Summary
“Don’t let ME derail ya any more than I already have.”
But Susie chuckled and plopped down beside him. “Yeah, well, we’ve got some time to kill.”
Trembles inundated him. The one broken antenna, held together by duct tape and a prayer, twitched and ached. Then why the hell are ya spending it with ME? Tenna almost asked.
The fighting is over, but Tenna is still battling his inner demons. And when Susie checks in with him, he wonders why she bothered saving someone like him.

Bookmarker's Notes
fun little series- perfect level of tenna being able to interact with the lighteners here, imo; enough to raise a little intrigue but not enough for the tragedy of the situation theyre all in to be lost
