Summary
In a home full of silence, Kaveh feels the need to escape - if only for one night. An unexpected event leads to long-since buried feelings being revealed amidst a haze of recovery and vulnerability.
(Alternatively: It only takes Kaveh being attacked for him and Alhaitham to realise how much they do actually care for each other. Which, as it happens, is a lot.)

Summary
“It’s a love spell,” Kaveh repeated louder, his ears burning.
“Oh,” Alhaitham said simply. “That explains the crowd outside. Found yourself a cursed artefact, did you? By your worksite?”
Kaveh was so surprised that he forgot that he was supposed to be looking away. “How did you know?”
“Your current affliction matches the description of a certain lost ancient artefact. And it wasn’t a stretch to conclude you stumbled upon it at your worksite since that was literally where you said you were going earlier on,” Alhaitham replied calmly.
“... Right,” Kaveh said, hesitantly. “And you don’t feel anything? No sudden urge to proclaim your lo-liking for me or anything?”
Alhaitham flashed him a smirk, and Kaveh's heart stopped beating for a moment. “Why, would you like me to?”Kaveh is cursed to have everyone around him fall in love with him. Everyone except for Alhaitham, apparently.

Summary
A letter comes to a house in Sumeru City.
My light,
I have been absent from you too long. For that, I have no apology worthy enough for the forgiveness I ask of you now. I am ill.
...
Kaveh's mother gets sick. This serves as a catalyst in many respects.

Summary
“It’s my fault,” says the child, without prelude. “It’s my fault, and I don’t know what to do about it.”
Alhaitham’s brows furrow. “What is your fault?”
“Why I feel like this. Why this … happened.” The child’s voice grows smaller and its chin rests back on the tops of knees. “It was because of me. He did it for me, and now? Now, we’re…”
In which Alhaitham, in his dreams, visits the most crucial of Kaveh's memories. Or, they learn what it means to love another person unconditionally.
