Summary
In a Lumière set at the end of the Dawn and Dusk roads, there is a group of vigilante heroes that call themselves the Expedition. Everyone knows they have a hatred for corrupt nobles, but very few know their true mission: find the cursed amulets hiding in the city and destroy them to defeat the Paintress in her looming Monolith.
Verso may have saved (some) of the 33s from a fatal confrontation, but they still don't trust him. It's Sciel, using a pattern deck to rearrange the threads of fate, who can tell them what happens next.

Summary
“And shouldn’t Maelle have her brother back? After bringing back the rest of the world?”
“How would that make her different from…” Lune pinches her lips shut. Looks up at the ceiling, breathes. “It’s what Verso wanted. And he didn’t, he wasn’t–”
Sciel pushes herself up. “There were good moments. He was happy with us, a part of the expedition. If he could make his choice again–”
“No.” Something sneaks into Lune’s voice there, past the righteous anger. A choke, almost. “He wasn’t.”

~
Lumière lives. Verso dies. And every day, Maelle must decide to make it so.

Summary
This is unfair. Everything is unfair, and it makes him angry, and Monoco fights his mentor every single time about it, and it makes him angry, and it’s just-
He knows that Noco spends time with the impostor. He knows that they even call each other friends.
He calls it betrayal.
Noco ignores it.
For a while. For a few years. Until his patience runs out.
Or: the "Noco tied us together for a month, and now we're best friends" incident.

Summary
“Well. Put those things all together, and that’s… sort of what it’s like. Sort of. Excitement and pleasure from holding and touching each other.”
“Hmph. We do all of those things without taking off our clothes,” Monoco says. “We’re touching and holding each other right now.”
