Summary
"Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"
She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.
"Are yours?"
---
Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.
Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.
Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.

Summary
“No relationship is perfect, especially when you have to meet in the middle. But I’m very happy.”
“I gather your Max is not from your world, then?” the reporter gently presses for details.
“Uhm.” Charles looks down at his hands and smiles. His Max. “I’ll just say that… I know how to drive, he knows Aristotle.”Or: Charles is a F1 driver, Max is doing his PhD at Cambridge. It really shouldn’t work. Somehow, it does.

Summary
Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses plays when the stranger does step in, maybe a little after 7:30. They've only been officially open for a few moments, so he doesn’t hear the bell jingle, fully immersed with singing along at a low volume.
“Am I interrupting something?”
Sebastian does not shriek, nor does he screech or scream or whatever you could describe the noise that escaped him. He turns around frantically from where he was setting out pastries, scrambling for his phone to turn the volume down.
“Oh mein Gott.” He breathes, pressing his lips into a thin line. “How’d you get in here so quietly?”
or
Sebastian might have a small crush on a customer. Maybe he’s trying too hard, opening early, bringing back retired items on the menu. He doesn’t mean to kidnap a kid with said crush in the process.(There’s no way Sebastian could overlook bruises upon bruises. The real problem is trying to convince Max that he doesn’t have to bear those on his own.)

Summary
“I don’t know,” He finds himself staring at another picture. Max is laughing brightly, to the point where his eyes are crinkled, and his mother is smiling too. There is a navy cap on her head: it is a Red Bull cap. Max’s Red Bull cap. “It’s just hard to imagine, I think.”
Pascale looks at him. For a moment it is an odd look. But that quickly melts into a smile. One that is gentle around the eyes, and soft on the mouth. Somehow, it makes Charles feel young again — younger than how he already feels; twenty-one in a world where he is twenty-five.
“You don’t have to imagine it, mon garçon,” she says quietly. “It has already happened.”
Or,
The last thing Charles remembers is the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix.
