Summary
The hilt of Kris’ sword is slick with sweat. They tell themself that it’s only from exertion, and adjust their grip. This will be easy. They’ve already done it once before – the soul made them do it in that video game. They’ve done it once before, so they can do it again. This is barely any different. The others won’t understand it just yet, but this is for their own good, really.
(They know that they can’t look away this time, though. In order to hurt a monster, you need real intent to harm. Everyone knows that.)

Summary
The sky is dense with grey, towering clouds, and a light drizzle steadily floats down from them as you stand by the side of the road, waiting. Every now and then, the wind picks up with a biting chill and drives the rain directly into your face, and every time, you huddle deeper into your coat, pull your sodden hood low with freezing fingers, and bury your cold nose in your scarf, searching the familiar mesh of damp, scratchy wool for some modicum of warmth.
On a rainy October day somewhere to the north of Finland, you have an encounter with a very honoured guest.

Now aware of what really happened to the Death Arcana, he decides to take its new vessel into his custody for further study and observation - after all, what is one more vanished orphan who won't be missed?
Like a river, a life can take many different forms, experience many twists and turns - but no matter how much its course is altered, in the end, all rivers meet the sea.

Summary
“Don’t you ever wonder what could have been?” the ghost whispers, almost conspiratorially. “Victory was within your grasp before the Buddha himself interfered, was it not? That’s how they tell the story. I’m sure the thought crossed your mind during your long imprisonment – what if he’d never been there? What if you’d won?”
A few months after his battle with Yuandi, Sun Wukong is forced to face a reflection of himself; a King of Demons who lost his war against the Heavens is confronted with everything he could have been.

Summary
Sometimes, she thought about what might have happened if things had gone the way the adults imagined.
She’d marry Kris. Probably stay in town. She’d go to church with her mom. Kris would wear a nice shirt and stand quietly beside her. Maybe they’d live in a quiet house near the pond where the ducks still came in spring.
It wouldn’t be bad. It might even be nice.
