Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

Summary
Without his heart, his comprehension of emotion had dwindled significantly; gone was the kind, ever-understanding Empereyan Miquella, and left in his wake was a literal shell of his former self. “St Trina is going to help us. She asked me to save you, and I’m not one to go back on my word.”
Or, the newly ascended Miquella and Tarnished descend into the depths of the Stone Coffin Fissure to find Miquella's abandoned heart, St. Trina.

Summary
Mr. Terrific assured Lois in no uncertain terms that Clark was going to survive. That his healing was well underway, that the feverish confusion was normal, that with rest and relaxation, he would be fine.
But that was an hour ago. That was Clark-who-couldn’t-stand-up, sure, but he was still aware. Since then, his speech has deteriorated to confused muttering and his head has started lolling over like he can’t focus enough to keep it straight.
Lois glances over her shoulder again—never mind that she’s hurtling a hundred miles an hour through the air—she needs to see for herself that Clark is still alive. His swollen eyes are drifting shut again.
She just doesn’t believe he’s supposed to look like this.
~~~
On the trip to Smallville, Lois and Clark talk about Malik.

Summary
Superman looks down at the street silently, just like Eve had been. A passing group’s laughter is carried up to them with the wind.
“Do you ever feel lonely?” Eve asks. “Like, there’s no one in the world who really cares that you exist?”
Superman puts a steady hand on her knee. “I care that you exist, Eve.”
Eve hums. It’s sweet, if empty. She’s pretty sure Superman is like, legally required to care that every single person exists. So it doesn’t really count. She doesn’t need to say that, though.
~~~
After getting out of Lex's prison, Eve figures out how to build a life with people who care about her.

Summary
The Silmarillion is so full of heartbreaking, wasteful, tragic deaths that it sometimes seems as if the not-tragically-deadly parts of the narrative are there only to give the readers a little breather.
I expect that everyone has a death or two that they find particularly distressing. Amarië certainly does. But at least she can do something about it...
