    Summary

    Maybe it was the mark of her own soul but the Honmoon remembered the promise she'd demanded of it that night at the Idol Awards. The same promise she'd demanded atop the train that first time. The same promise she demanded each and every time when it all came to ruin. She reached up with the hand coated in Zoey's blood and grasped the threads of the Honmoon. Then she did the same with Rumi's blood.

    And she pulled, "You will not take the stars from me! However long it takes!"

    Even if it destroyed her.

    Summary

    “You still continue?” Gwi-Ma asks, almost delighted. “Even after everything, you keep fighting?”

    I don’t want to, Rumi thinks. It’s against my will. I’m a prisoner of my own misery. If the world ended for good, I would welcome it.

    But that’s not entirely true. No, if the world ended for good, it would take Zoey and Mira with it. And Rumi’s existence may be a horrible thing, but Zoey and Mira deserve so much more. They deserve to live and grow old together, to be happy, to live their lives however they please after they’ve given up so much to protect the Honmoon.

    “I’d do anything for them,” Rumi says. “Even if it tears me apart by the seams.”

    or: rumi relives the day of the idol awards over, and over, and over again.

    Summary

    Mira had to keep reminding herself that the blood on Rumi’s chest was from her own arm, not from an injury Rumi had—especially with the way Rumi kept whimpering. She hoped she hadn't done any real damage. She hadn't been trying to hurt her.

    Gwi-Ma finds a way into Rumi's head.

    Summary

    Then, quietly, she hears Zoey ask, “How long?”

    Well. This is harder than them just killing her, Rumi thinks. Maybe she shouldn’t be surprised, because Zoey has always enjoyed the hunt, performing each fight like it’s a sort of game of cat-and-mouse, and this is...the same thing, Rumi thinks. Just another demon to be dealt with.

    “Rumi,” Mira presses, her voice closer than it had been.

    Rumi almost wants to laugh. Great. The world’s worst cat-and-mouse game, where they’re apparently treating her like a friend before they kill her. That’s great. Celine would be so proud that they’re fulfilling all their hunter duties of taking care of each other while killing demons. 

    “Rumi, I need you to talk to me,” Zoey says, her voice getting a little more insistent. “Can you tell me how long you’ve had these?”

    “Forever,” Rumi rasps out, because, well, they’ve caught her. She’s been effortlessly caught in a trap, and there’s no use trying to gnaw off her own arm to escape it. She’s tried before; her patterns exist beyond just branding on her skin.

    (or, rumi's patterns are discovered early, and maybe that's not such a bad thing)
