Summary
Zhou Zishu is ready to be done with Tian Chuang. He's ready for his seventh nail, and ready to wander before facing his eighty one brothers with a bowed head in the afterlife. He will do this after, apparently, one last mission that's simply too intriguing to pass up.
The Ghost Valley has sent a letter past its borders, asking to attend the Heroes Conference of the Five Lakes Alliance. The Five Lakes Alliance, unbelievably, has accepted. Both no doubt have hidden intentions, and Prince Jin wants eyes and ears on the scene. Zhou Zishu can't quite bring himself to deny his own ravenous curiosity enough not to accept.
The stunning beauty that shows up with the girls of the Department of the Unfaithful, the one who introduces himself as Wen Kexing, is universally assumed to be a favorite plaything of the yet unseen Ghost Valley Master. His beauty and charm may be enough to captivate all the others into underestimating him, but Zhou Zishu knows a killer's eyes when he sees one. Wen Kexing is a puzzle he'd like to figure out, and Zishu himself can't say he isn't also captivated by dark eyes and a smile that wouldn't be out of place with blood in its teeth.

Summary
All of me, huh? Could he do that? He'd done so much in secret for so long, it felt terrifying to drag it all into the light. But for Till? For himself and the chance that this time, maybe, they could be different?
"Yeah."
And then Till looked over his shoulder, caught Ivan's gaze and held it. "Thank you. I know I'm really late in saying it. But I'm also really, really happy that I still have the chance to say it at all."
Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.
And neither knew that the other survived.
Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.

Summary
“If Sua appeared to me in a dream, I don’t know what I’d say. I think I’d just be happy to finally get the chance to speak to her again. I’d want to understand why she did what she did, but more than anything, I think I would just want to be able to be with her one more time,” Mizi said. Her hand around Ivan was warm as she spoke. “I suppose what I’m trying to say is, Till’s alive. You’re alive. Please, just, speak to each other.”
Ivan was not, at his core, an honest person. The most honest he had ever been was when his lips and hands had been on Till’s. There was the dull ache of feeling buried inside him, and there were the reflexes they made him act out, but in between these two things where there should have been words there was nothing. What did it mean to speak about something he barely understood himself.
Ivan and Till are saved during Round 6. Ivan has to deal with what's next.

“Rin and Haru are the sort of people you can’t help but fall in love with. It’s a shame they’ve only ever had eyes for each other.”
“I wouldn’t call it a shame,” Makoto says, fondly, watching Haru glance away.
Alternatively: Makoto, through the years, watching the whole beautiful mess unfold.
