    Summary

    If anyone asked when that restless ache first bloomed in Dan Heng’s chest, he would be silent for a long moment, lost in thought.

    He could not name the moment, could not point to a heartbeat and say, there.

    Summary

    “My wounds have already healed.” Slowly, Blade forces his dull and weary eyes open. The sickly light looming over the bathroom is bright enough that it takes him a long moment to adjust to the ivory glow it casts, but, even when he does, the shadows it casts over Sunday’s pained expression are more strained than anything else in the room. 

    Sunday is unlike Blade in every aspect. While Blade is no expert in emotions, Sunday is a master. He wears his heart on his sleeve while trying to maintain a neutral appearance that always betrays him. He cares too much, and that’s always been his Achilles’ heel. 

    Meanwhile, Blade’s own heart died long ago. He feels very little, but what he does feel comes in short and intense waves. At times his passive passion twists into violent possessiveness, and his tender love morphs into an unhealthy obsession. What remains of his mind is a maze of emotions no one, not even Blade himself, can navigate because there’s no entrance or exit in existence. 

    “They haven’t,” Sunday counters. 

    They have, but Blade never argues with Sunday.

    Summary

    Five years ago, the Grand Scribe of the Akademiya went missing without a trace. Now General Mahamatra, Cyno finally has the authority to look more into the case prematurely closed at the Grand Sage’s order. Following the clues left behind, Cyno discovers the truth: their archon, imprisoned against her will, the Akasha harvesting the dreams of Sumeru and its Sages blaspheme as they attempt to create their own artificial deity. In an attempt to confront Azar, Cyno is banished to the Tower, a structure filled with all the knowledge of both man and divine, said to turn all who enter mad and with no means of escape. Cyno needs to leave, knowing the danger Sumeru faces that its populace is unaware of, but he quickly learns he’s not the only thing sealed in the Tower.

    Summary

    Why did the cat go on a date? Because it was feline lonely.

    While working together, Cyno and Al-haitham run into a troubled small child, who is being protected… by a talking cabbage? After receiving their protection, Arapacati decides to repay the kindness that was extended to her, and arranges for them to spend time together. However, no-one expects the continual interruptions that infringe on Cyno and Al-haitham's time together.

    Or: four times Cyno and Al-haitham do not go on a date, and the one time they do.

    Summary

    Nahida's task comes in two flavours of hard. The hard: trying to track down the Fatui while being countless days behind. The harder: doing it with someone else, while assessing their suitability for Sumeru's top duties.

    Cyno, of course, does it anyway.
