Summary
“Don’t touch those, Rumi.”
Celine didn’t look away from the onions she was chopping.
Rumi froze, her hand wrapped around her upper arm. She jerked her hand away like she was about to put her hand down on top of a snake she hadn’t seen. “Why?”
Why’s and how’s drove Rumi’s world. If she understood the function of each gear, she’d know what the machine was supposed to look like when it came together.
“Because,” Celine responded, tone clipped. Her jaw was working, something Rumi had recently discovered to mean that she was angry. “Because it’s wrong. You’re not even supposed to have those.”
Rumi tugged the sleeve of her shirt down further. “Oh.”
A foundational gear of how the world worked was cataloged in her mind.
Don’t touch your patterns, they’re dirty.
Or, Rumi is incredibly repressed because of the shame she feels about her patterns.

Summary
Rumi wasn’t born with the patterns. When they first appeared, though, she thought they were pretty.
Celine corrected that.
OR; Rumi, and how she grew up.

Summary
Rumi stops, glaring at Mira, who smirks at her.
She wiggles the remote up in the air. “Come get it.”
Rumi has half a mind to just jump. She could reach it. Between her training and her demon strength she’d have no problem jumping that high. And it’s not even that high.
But something else comes to mind.
Or.
Rumi, Zoey, and Mira have a serious height difference. But sometimes it's a fun thing to learn how to use to your advantage.

Summary
The sensible part of Rumi knew that any fight could be her last. All it took was for some demon to get a lucky hit, and it would be curtains. But a secret part of her loved to fight, to feel the adrenaline pumping through her system, to have her life balanced on nothing but their song and her blade’s edge.
Or
A series of loosely connected post-cannon snippets exploring Rumi, her relationship with her patterns and her journey to realising she is not alone.

Summary
But then again, it was always going to end this way, wasn’t it? It was always going to have been these two that destroyed her.
She understands that now. She sees the choices laying before her and takes the only one she was ever capable of taking.
Her knees buckle.
Perhaps it would be a mercy to come apart under their hands.
/////
When Mira and Zoey raise their weapons at her, Rumi does not run. She falls to her knees and waits to die at the hands of the two girls she loves most in the world.
