    Summary

    “Why me? What could I have done to be the one you love?”

    Columbina laughed, “That’s easy, it’s precisely because it’s you. You were the first one to treat me normally, as an equal without fear nor worship. The one that looked out for me while I was adjusting to the world. The one that invited me to tea parties so I wouldn’t be lonely.”

    Each line struck like a bullet, her key recoiling as her resolve bled out.
     
    “You were the one that let me sleep in the safety of your room even when you acted upset. You were the one who refused to give up on me when I fell across the Moon’s reflection. You were the one that died for me.”

    She regarded Sandrone with an intense clarity, “So is it really so surprising that I’m so deeply bewitched by you? That I mourned your passing with every breath I took?”

    Or, Columbina and Sandrone discuss feelings on the Moon.

    Summary

    “I thought we were agreeing to informality at these gatherings, ‘Father’?” 

    “And I thought we agreed you would never call me that again.” 

    “It’s fun seeing you bristle.”

    She’d like to see someone else bristle, too, but in a much more explosive manner. That one is probably steeping their respective teas right now. 

    Or; Columbina dreams, in fractures of both herself and time.

    Summary

    They always spoke of the stars with disdain, those other Harbingers that Columbina used to work with. They’d despised the idea of worshipping them— celestial beings, they’d seethed— things completely and utterly undeserving of their praise.

    But tonight…

    She looks into those eyes, crystal-blue with pricks of light shining at the center, and notes their semblance to the starlit sky, reflected in the glass of the music box.

    She sees, now, why mortals love the stars like so.

    “...I’m going to miss you, Sandrone.”

    On the first night of the summer in Columbina’s new palace, she receives an unexpected visitor.
