    Summary

    Because Mankira isn't nothing, she's not a weapon. She's history, she's survival, she's a soul. The piece of his soul that, through everything, through the gap people failed to bridge, got sharpened instead of shaved.

    Zanka talks to her like she's precious, like she's worth that shred of gentleness. And it…it feels a little like Zanka is talking to Jabber himself.

    Jabber doesn't know how to act.

    -
    Zanka incorporates Mankira into his morning routine. Jabber copes with the mortifying ordeal of being known.

    To be loved is to be seen.

    Summary

    There was a long, endless minute during the second course in which Maomao froze where she stood behind Gyokuyou, a look of concentration on her face that quickly morphed into rapture. Jinshi felt his blood run cold.

    He had long yearned to see such a look on her face. With a bitter twist in his stomach, more biting than any poison, he thought: I didn't mean like this.

    Or, after Maomao is poisoned, Jinshi faces some difficult truths.
