    Summary

    “I know!”, Mira said, gesturing helplessly. “I know it sounds insane, but I swear on my Gok-Do! There was a– a puff of smoke and then in place of the cat there was a woman with long, dark hair. Like a Korean Rapunzel.”

    Zoey processed this information. She knew Mira wouldn’t lie to her – not like this, never swearing on her weapon. And they had seen crazy things before… but their cat? A naked lady?

    “Huh”, she said, trying to picture it and failing. “Was she cute?”

    Summary

    So mostly it seems like Rumi’s doing well. She wears her patterns openly, almost defiantly. She stops locking herself away in her room. When she wakes in the middle of the night, breathless and panicked from haunting dreams, she lets Zoey find her and guide her to Mira’s room so they can all crawl into bed together, Rumi sandwiched in the middle.

    But there are some moments when she loses herself a little, when Zoey can see her teeth clench and her eyes glaze over. Moments when her breath shakes, and she presses her nails so deep into her palms that they come away bloody.

    She won't talk to them when it happens.

    (After the Honmoon is sealed, Rumi seeks out Celine one last time.)

    Summary

    Her patterns are a reminder of what she is.

    Vile, disgusting, rabid filth.

    Summary

    She wished she could be sitting with the girls, eating dinner, laughing and crying about what a mess this day had become.

    She wished she could apologize for not being fast enough, press her forehead to the cracked wooden floor and plead for them to forgive her.

    The starved animal at her core whined and thrashed.

    She wished she could be normal.

    Summary

    Something nervous, terrified, settled into Rumi's features even as she gave a resolute nod. Shakily, she lifted her arms, having to lean against the edge of the tub heavily to keep from tumbling to the side. Pride flared in Mira again, though it was overshadowed by concern for what Rumi was trying to hide.

    What had Celine forced her to keep silent? A million different horrible possibilities ran through her mind but all of them came to a screeching halt when she saw the purple on her skin.

    The one thing she'd never considered.

    Rumi had patterns.

    ----

    What if Rumi got injured during the fight on the train? What if that injury led to the girls seeing her patterns?

    Well they do here.

    Then they eventually kiss about it.
