    Summary

    "She takes a steadying breath and imagines the snows of her home world, letting the flakes bury her memories under pristine white. Himeko carries the weight of all she’s left behind with a grace born from an outright refusal to acknowledge the ghosts that haunt the little sleep she allows herself. Trailblazing is never without risks and the regrets of the past are better left buried; there’s no use in indulging her fears now.”

    Himeko finds herself alone on the Express after her Trailblazers head to Amphoreus.

    Summary

    “Will you still disappear if you’re holding on to someone?” Tingyun can’t help but wonder aloud. “What if I hold your hand?”

    “How will you predict when I’m about to disappear?” Yao Guang asks dryly, although to Tingyun’s credit, the other woman looks extremely amused. “Or maybe you should just hold my hand indefinitely and see what happens.”

    or, in the middle of a very important competition, Tingyun considers a very important experiment (among other things).

    Summary

    Zoey and Mira have always been Rumi’s cosmic complements: the higher and lower harmonies that form a perfect triad with her every time they’re in sync. The warmest chord she’s ever heard—intended, euphonious, side by side by side. Inyeon.

    Jinu wasn’t like that. He… he was her, just mirrored back. Her dark reflection, an octave down.

    The first person she’d ever met in her life who’d rhymed.

    [or: after Namsan Tower, Rumi must contend with who she is, who she wants to be, how she communicates, what the girls mean to her, and what Jinu means to her, too... especially considering how she might have eaten his soul, and all.]

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.
