Summary
It feels like being turned inside out, like every cell in her body is being torn apart and put back together wrong. The warehouse disappears into a blur of color and sound and then she's there, directly between Mira and the demon, close enough to see the surprise in Mira's eyes.
The demon's swing catches Rumi square in the ribs. She feels the impact, feels something crack deep inside, multiple somethings, bones splintering like dry wood, and then she's flying.
****
Or: Rumi would die a thousand times to keep her girls safe, and that's exactly what terrifies Mira most.

Summary
Bobby held up a picture of Zoey and Mira, rarely candid as they allowed themselves to be in public. Rumi could even recognise the bench they were sitting on. Zoey was showing Mira something on her phone—probably one of her weird cat memes—and Mira had her head thrown back, her mouth open in that unflattering laugh she only let out when she was truly amused. Bobby swiped through to another photo, and Mira was still laughing. But Zoey had stopped looking at her phone screen, and was instead gazing at Mira with a soft smile on her face, expression completely besotted.
Something about the sight made a lump gather at the back of Rumi's throat.
When a photo of Zoey and Mira goes viral and the idea of them as a couple becomes more popular than ever, Bobby suggests they fake-date to keep Huntrix ratings up. Rumi doesn't expect to have as many emotions about it as she does.

Summary
Rumi isn’t stupid—she knows her patterns can’t be contagious. That’s not how they work.
She’s started to pull away, keeping her distance. She might not be contagious, but what if there are other adverse effects? Maybe they’ll live shorter lives, or they’ll get sick, or they’ll somehow realise what she is, and then...
Rumi won’t touch them, and they won’t get hurt. They won’t end up sick. Nothing bad will happen to them because of her. Rumi knows that she’d never be able to live with herself if she decided to be selfish, especially not with something like this. Mira and Zoey are both far more important than a few hugs every now and then. It isn’t even like she's ever been that touchy, so she’s sure none of them will even notice. She’ll keep her distance, enough to be safe, not enough to make it obvious, and all three of them will be okay.
And then, whenever they seal the honmoon, Rumi can hug them as much as she’d like, or brush by them without feeling sick, or reach out without her heart pounding.
(or, five times rumi wanted to reach out, and the one time she did)

Summary
"Heavy, ugly, all-consuming sobs overwhelm her instantly, leaving her shaking with effort. Any semblance of control vanishes, and she fights the urge to desperately crawl after it. Reminds herself there’s no need. Nothing more to lose.
It’s hard to put into words what’s behind the tears. Harder to say what isn’t. It’s everything. A boiling point for a lifetime of shame, of spending night after night terrified of waking up like this, overrun by evidence of her otherness.
In the calm and quiet of the morning, without the adrenaline and anguish turning her vision red, it’s as if she’s seeing them for the first time. Worse, in a way, because now she’s distinctly aware of every implication, even in victory. Freedom from her body doesn’t exist. Will never exist. They might accept her, might embrace her, but they’ll always look at her and know she’s different. Know she’s wrong.
Even if she wants to, she can never go back."
or, Rumi wakes up after the battle has ended and finds a more daunting one waiting for her: explaining herself to her girls.
