Summary
New staff wasn’t anything unusual. This place chewed up and spat people out on a weekly basis. Every other week, someone would quit mid-shift, and a new face would show up in their spot in the next.
Phainon was the longest-running staff member there, as far as he knew. Not that it was a badge of honor or anything.
But something about this chef felt different.
It wasn’t just the way he cooked or how clean he kept his station. It was how things felt around him. No clatter, no yelling, no banging pots. Just the soft rhythm of knives hitting the board, pans shifting on the burner, and the sound of a guy who knew exactly what he was doing, like he belonged in a kitchen more than the rest of them.
--
When a surprisingly talented chef starts working at the Marmoreal Diner, busboy Phainon assumes he won’t last—and yet, he still can’t help finding himself drawn to him.

Summary
Itto’s voice boomed through the high-ceilinged spaces of Neuvillette’s office, echoing against the marble columns and gilded trim with loud and unselfconscious vigor.
“I’m thinkin’ of callin’ it: The Iridescent Arataki Hydro Howl-A-Palooza, Fontaine Splashdown Edition!”
He leaned forward slightly as he spoke, grinning proudly as his hands gestured like he was unveiling a masterpiece on a gallery wall.
“‘S got a nice ring to it, don’tcha think?”
Beneath him, Neuvillette shifted.
His arms were braced in front of him, forearms taut against the royal blue upholstery of the long office sofa. His head was bowed, silver hair falling in loose strands across his sweat-drenched face. With each word that spilled from behind him, the muscles along his spine coiled tighter, betraying his silent demeanor.
“I—” he began, voice strained.
And that was as far as he got.

Summary
Argenti approached the table in silent steps, dressed in a red t-shirt and loose pajama bottoms, his hair pulled neatly behind his back. He carried a screwdriver and a set of fine pliers, with the rest of his tools already arranged in a careful line beside Boothill. He leaned forward, eyes scanning his torso—not yet touching, simply observing.
“And you’re certain a shutdown isn't necessary, my friend?” Argenti asked, his voice a calm murmur. “I promise I can be quick.”
“Psh, I ain’t some delicate thing. ‘S just a routine parts change,” Boothill replied, not bothering to look at him. “No need to go through that whole ‘shutdown-’n-reboot’ mess.”
Argenti nodded, lips curving into a faint smile. “Understood. I shall be light as a feather.”

Summary
“Besides, it’s not every day you get to talk to a swordsmaster from another planet!” Yunli exclaimed.
He laughed lightly, gaze warm. “Swordsmaster… I suppose if that’s what you want to call me. Thank you.”
Across the anvil, Yunli’s eyes drifted to the sword laid nearby. Dawnmaker gleamed, even at rest—its blade immaculate, its grip worn in just the right places.
“Well,” she said, nodding towards it, “a sword that pristine doesn’t get that way by accident. I can tell you take good care of it.”
Phainon shifted, resting his palms against his knee. “Actually, that’s kind of why I’m here. Meeting another sword enthusiast, trying Xianzhou cuisine, that was definitely on my list, too. But really, I was hoping you might be willing to… speak to my sword.”

Summary
Mydei woke with a jolt, the echo of pain still screaming in his chest.
He sat up slowly in bed, every breath a deliberate effort. Sweat clung to his skin, cooling rapidly against the still air. He dragged a hand down his face, exhaling hard through his nose. Golden sunlight shined through the carved stone windows of his private chambers—proof that he was truly awake.
He’d had that dream again. Too many times now to call it a nightmare. Too often to pretend it wasn’t trying to tell him something. And though it shifted in detail—a different path through the burning streets, a different companion’s final breath—the end was always the same.
Okhema in ruin. Mydei dead. Phainon alone, at the end of the world.

Summary
“May I,” Wriothesley hesitates. “May I help you sit up?” He’s just had his hands all over the Chief Justice, so this is an inane question, but that had been different. Neuvillette hadn’t been awake, hadn’t even been conscious. Now Wriothesley feels frozen in place, like he’s iced his own boots to the floor with a blast of misguided Cryo.
Neuvillette considers, a small line furrowing his brow. “I… think I might need you to, yes.”
Or, the one where Neuvillette drains too much of his power and Wriothesley finds and takes care of him.

Summary
As Mydei has before, he takes the lead and rounds the corner first - only to freeze completely. Even with his back to Phainon, Phainon can see how his entire body has gone rigid, posture stiff and dropping lower, like he can’t decide whether to fight or flee.
Mydei looks stunned to silence, as if completely unable to react.
“What happened?” Phainon asks, urgently, and immediately steps forward -
“Wait,” Mydei says as Phainon steps up beside him, a second too late. But the edge of panic in his voice makes Phainon turn as he moves. Mydei’s gaze snaps to Phainon, and Phainon has never seen that expression on him. His eyes are wide, staring at him but as if unseeing, chest rising in quick, shallow breaths, clear tension in his muscles. “Wait, Phainon -”
[Phainon must ferry Mydei's soul back to his body. The Flame Reaver has found it first.]

Summary
Aglaea has few constants left in her life: death, stress, childcare, taxes, and one arrestingly beautiful, insufferably snarky Production Director at work who sabotages her every chance that he gets.
So it serves Anaxagoras right when she finally snaps, clocking him right in his handsome face with her purse.
Right?
(Wrong.)
