    Summary

    > TUTOR NEEDED

    Subject(s): Math, Science, Literature

    For: 16-year-old student. Intelligent. Prone to… selective motivation.

    Pay: Negotiable. Flexible hours. Discretion and resilience preferred.

    Contact: Clea Dessendre.

    Serious inquiries only. No time-wasters.

    ---

    Gustave is a university student living off a scholarship that covered the essentials, but not everything—not his own space, not the little things like tools for engineering projects or fixing the busted laptop he’d been limping along with since high school. And if the Dessendre family paid well…

    Well, he’d survive a little attitude from a teenager. How bad could it be?

    Summary

    I am writing to tell you that I am not writing to you. That would be not allowed, and Destiny has told me that I shouldn’t. But Destruction says it would be mad to try, and that Dream will be mad if I do, so that seems alright by me.

     

    It is 1977, and Hob gets a letter. The predictable ensues.

    Summary

    Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

    Summary

    In saving Gustave at the cliff, Verso gets more than he bargained for as the ray of sunshine called Gustave gets teleported with him to the Crimson Forest.

    Meanwhile, an exasperated Lune and a sympathetic Sciel deal with a grieving Maelle as they search for Gustave.

    ***

    'It was a split-second decision, one Verso hadn’t known he was going to make. But the instant he saw the despair on Maelle’s face, a flash of his Alicia behind her pale eyes, Verso ran. There was a flash of bright, multicolored light, and all he could remember thinking was a symphony of, “Not now, not here–not him .”

    He didn’t have time to overthink it like usual. He ran, and the instant that his fingers touched the expeditioner’s blood-soaked uniform, there was a tug in his gut. Everything went black and white. Not like the gradient that Alicia uses to stop time. This was something different, something from a Painter. But there wasn’t much time to think about that while hurtling through the air faster than Esquie could say, “Weeee.”

    At least he couldn’t die.'
