    Summary

    “You are not fooling us.” Mira states, coldly.
    “Where’s Rumi, demon?” Zoey hisses maliciously.
    “What!? Zoey, Mira, it’s me!”
    Zoey smiles sweetly, it makes Rumi feel queasy.
    She takes a step back, hands raised, doubt clouding her mind. What the hell? Her girls are behaving as if they saw her patterns, but… she made sure they were not visible?
    “Zoey, look, we call Celine, she can confirm-”
    “No need! Come on. We believe you.” Zoey cheerfully says, still smiling, her left hand open towards her leader. “Rumi, everything’s OK. We were just thrown off by your ruined costume.”
    “However…”, Zoey uses her left index finger to point down, “…your patterns are visible on your tummy.”
    Horrified, Rumi looks down on her midriff, and lo and behold, three centimeters of jagged purple lines are visible on her skin!
    “Bingo! How fun!” Zoey exclaims, her distraction working.
    Rumi feels a hit on her left shoulder, something like a solid punch, not painful but it throws her off to the side making her stumble. She watches in fascinated disbelief the rear portion of a Shin-kal buried in her shoulder, with its gold filigree tassel gently swaying, blood darkening the fabric around the hilt.

    Summary

    Mira's brows twitch.
    "I… I know now isn't the time, but I'm realizing that actually I haven't seen you get sick. Like, ever. Is that—"
    "A demon thing?" Rumi whispers. "Probably. Celine always said I had a strong immune system."
    Mira makes a face. One that Rumi would've struggled to decipher even if her vision wasn't so blurry.
    "Celine… knows?"

    ~

    In the immediate aftermath of Namsan tower, Rumi wakes up the following morning sick as a dog. Zoey and Mira help her through it, while also confronting their emotions and assumptions about the events of the last 24 hours.

    Summary

    Rumi died. Her blood soaked into the dirt and her body was buried next to her mother's where no one ever visited. She watched as the soil was moved and her name was scratched into a stone. She learned how to interact with the world around her when her hands passed through people and struggled to grab objects. She found comfort in the Honmoon layering itself over her in a way it never had when she was alive. And she grieved the closeness she had with Mira and Zoey more than she did her own life as she fought next to them with distance that could never be closed.

    Or

    Rumi is a ghost and is using everything she has left to seal the Honmoon so she can finally move on.

    Summary

    It’s remarkably hard to work out where you are without a single map reference point to rely upon. Even worse, when all your preconceptions about the universe see themselves turned upside down and you're left without a point of reference for life itself.
    Trapped in a ship orbiting a star on the wrong side of the galaxy, Shepard has to figure out a way to get home - now if only she knew why she was out here in the first place.

    First contact slow-burn shakarian AU with distant inspiration from "Project: Hail Mary", see authors note at beginning for full context.
