Summary
The girl is still smiling when you look back up at her; a thin little thing made of lipstick eating at her mouth.
“Why am I here, then?” you ask. “Was I killed?”
The thing greedily bites into her mouth, licks its lips, loses all its etiquette: “Well, you must have wanted to die.” This is a lie and so she says it quickly, lets it draw blood from her tongue and congeal into meaning. It is pleasant, for a few seconds. She is full stomached, her cheeks red with the most delicate blush.
This place must keep her fed, and quite happy.Two country mice meet on a beach beyond time.
(Angel Devil and Reze, under Makima’s control, in various states of non-existence.)Series

Summary
That Ratio cared about him at all was not a surprise. For all his sternness, there was a wellspring of incomprehensible devotion in him, a doctor’s instinct for the damned. The surprise was how much Aventurine wanted him to. How he’d slipped and lost his footing the moment he’d felt like someone would catch him. Aventurine couldn’t afford that comfort, and Ratio couldn’t afford the trouble Aventurine would bring him, inevitably, the distractions and the nonsense and all the reckless gambles.
Aventurine had cheated fate enough. And Ratio had other battles, more worth his while.

Summary
He loathed each tremor of fear; the guilt, the shame; the fact that his body could react in such a way, and with such a complete and total absence of control or understanding. And himself— how he hated himself for those things; but he harbored much greater hatred towards God.

Summary
Hyuna shifts, but Luka pulls away before she can grab it. “Sit up, Hyuna. I’m not letting you light a cigarette while lying down. That’s a fire waiting to occur.”
Belligerently, she obliges. Her hair falls over her face in a tangled mess, oily and stringy. The strap of her top falls down her shoulder, pulling the front cut of the fabric lower with it. Dark bags line her eyes in rings, her coppery skin wan and washed of its tan from days spent holed up in the dark recesses of her room, a protest of the singing and performance practice enforced on each contestant before a show. Luka finds her no less beautiful for it.
She yawns. “Let me burn, then. Take your easy win, and let the whole place crumble.”
Or, Luka seeks out Hyuna one last time.
