Summary
This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.
Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.
(She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)
Or
As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.

Summary
You wanted her to be loved. You wanted her to know that you loved her, but how else could you show it other than by working toward those goals? For Rumi to stay safe, her patterns needed to be gone. You had been allowed to bear witness to a demon walking amongst hunters as if it was the norm; Miyeong had loved him, Kimmy had treated him like a brother. Riwoo got lucky twice, though he did not get lucky with you. You did not love him, but you allowed him to live. It seemed like the greatest offer of friendship you could give to him, but you did not want that for Rumi.
You wanted her to be loved.
And she is.
You’ve pretended for their sakes to not notice, primarily because none of them have told you directly, and you don’t want to intrude, but they aren’t subtle. You’ve been biting your tongue about that, too, because you can give them reminders about media training and what going public can bring later. For now, you want them to enjoy whatever new ground they’ve stumbled into, and it seems like they are.
You know all the signs—you were in love once, too, and you still are.
You’re so proud of all of them.
(or, a celine character study)

Summary
This time, she’s Zoey.
It takes seventy-two years this time.
Tirelessly, the years stitch together. The sun rises and sets. The hollow spot inside of her waits. She has tried to make sense of these stubborn souls and the way they come back to her, how they always, without fail, manage to weave their way back through her chest, settling perfectly in the empty space within her that stays empty longer than it stays fulfilled. It must have something to do with the way the world shifted one day, how it broke apart entirely before being put back into place, starting to spin again as if it hadn’t come to a crashing halt. At some point, Zoey’s soul came loose. At some point, two more found a home.
The hollow spot inside of her chest waits, and then there’s a tug.
The entire world shifts, stopping on its axis again, and then it begins to careen forward. Dizzyingly fast and determined and loud. Then, in a voice that has remained just as stubborn as the soul who used it first, comes the command: “Find me.”
And Zoey does.
(or, zoey and the two souls that belong to her, no matter how long it takes them to find her)

Summary
Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.
Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.
Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
“For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”Kang Mira sent you $501.00
“lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”
Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

Summary
Mira asks, “So, what, we just pretend ‘polytrix’ isn’t top one on the global trending list right now?”
“It’s—” Rumi physically freezes. It looks like it takes her a moment to compute what Mira had said, then she finishes stiffly, “It’s what?”
Mira’s never been one to lie; and, lo and behold, hashtag polytrix was indeed pressed up as number one on the social media app they’re staring at. Zoey glances down at the related hashtags trending with it: #ITSREAL #POLYTRIXONTOP #RUMIONBOTTOM #HUNTR/XGIRLS #TOTHEGAYWORLD
Or, Mira, Rumi, and Zoey get caught in the middle of their fans' shipping war—but maybe one ship in particular has more substance than the others.

Bookmarker's Notes
Chapter 7 is one of the best build ups and emotional climaxes I’ve read in a long time. 10/10.
