    Summary

    As the artist got up from her throne, the chants of ‘Horyae!’ got even louder. Hearing that, the singer known as Horyae smirked and started creeping closer in an almost seductive way. She walked towards the front of the stage, while the white smoke was falling onto the crowd standing the nearest.

    Rumi died a few months ago during the fateful night of Idol Awards. Well, she didn't really die. She just left Huntr/x. She ran away after seeing the fear in her friends' eyes. After being attacked by them, if the Shin-Kal stuck in her shoulder is any proof of that. A few months later, the internet goes crazy after the debut of the rising idol.

    Summary

    Rumi once heard that if the alpha was the beginning, the beta the middle, then the omega was the end.

    She doesn't remember where, maybe some half-remembered scripture or idiom Celine had quoted, maybe somewhere in a book she had read. It was the kind of ancient wisdom that sounded profound the first time but never really stuck, not until you lived it.

    Alpha, the first note.

    Beta, the bridge.

    Omega, the silence, the final note.

    It wasn't until she met them that the words stopped being abstract, that the saying suddenly had faces, had meaning beyond theory.

    OR

    Secrets kept for protection become the thing that destroys. When Rumi's truth comes out during the mission to seal the Honmoon, the three of them are left standing in the wreckage with every wall down and every lie exposed. Now they have to figure out how to be a pack when isolation, control, and self-erasure are the only blueprints they have.

    Summary

    Rumi relied on having a purpose, having structure, having guidance. It was Celine who kept that structure together with bolts and screws — but now she was down to duct tape and zip ties.

    What is her purpose after the Honmoon is sealed? What is she meant to do with so much freedom?

    OR:

    Rumi starts spiraling.

    Zoey and Mira notice.

    When Rumi opened a message from a stranger offering money for one night of pretending, she should have said no.

    Neither of them planned for what happened next.
