    Summary

    Lumine considers running again. Zapolyarny is a maze; she calculates her odds of escaping are at least as high as her odds of getting caught. She collects herself and prepares to sprint. 

    But then a cool hand catches her forearm. It’s not a particularly painful grip—she might even call it gentle if not for the evident strength behind it—but it stops her short nonetheless. Lumine winces and looks up into the face of—

    “Childe?” she hisses.

    Lumine's infiltration of Zapolyarny Palace goes sideways when she runs into a familiar figure.

    Summary

    “Oh Colt,” Jody chokes out.

    I can’t answer. My body is being wracked by sobs, my throat straining as I heave and scream my lungs out over the ledge of the bridge. I can’t even see the bottom through the watery blur in my eyes. I don’t feel Jody’s hand when it latches onto my shoulder as if she expects me to fall head first.

    But even if I did I wouldn’t get to see Ry, would I?

    ***

    Ryland Grace was sent onto a one-way trip into outer space.

    Colt isn’t taking it well (and blames himself).

    Summary

    “I don’t hate kids,” says Lohen.

    Varka trips a little. “What was that?”

    Lohen responds by sinking further into Varka’s chest, enveloped by his heartbeat and expanding-retracting lungs. “They’re, just… loud. And needy.”

    Varka snorts. “I’d have thought that would give you some common ground with ‘em.”

    Lohen wants to pinch him, but his arm won’t move.

    “And maybe you’ve got that much in common with Mondstadt, too,” says Varka, “because we need you. So you have to survive this, alright?”

    Lohen doesn’t actually want to die, he just really, really, really wants his subordinates to live. Sometimes that means standing between them and a heaving, snarling beast and letting it do its thing.
