    Summary

    His daughter treasures their time together. She laughs and squeals when he does impressions of the characters in her picture books, when he growls for Mister Lion and pitches his voice up for the princesses. She has ribbons in her hair, and long white stockings under her jumpers.

    There is no want. Rien pulls her up onto his knee, rocks her, and wonders when it will come.

    Summary

    The poets deemed her the pearl of the Yoru clan, the shining star that remained gleaming even amidst the darkest of nights—waxed purple verses about Lady Shiomi Yoru’s lustrous dark hair, milk-pale skin with eyes like garnets set in her face.

    A pearl only emerges after sand works to irritate an oyster. The brightest stars will collapse in on themselves into little more than gas and dust. And even the brightest full moon comes to wane.

    Summary

    “I don’t even know how you can look at me, without fighting the urge to kill me.” Ryōshū turns away, and grinds her cigarette against the floor. The wood sizzles in familiar pain. Hong Lu laughs, painfully clutching her chest. It burns, being right. Neither can she meet her eyes. “Pathetic, right? It took one wrong turn, and just like that… I have started to doubt myself, what I stand for.” She croaks out, voice losing its pitch as she fidgets with her sleeves before locking eyes with Ryōshū. “Tell me, what am I… really?”

    A conversation of cuts and fears, born from spider gauze.
