    Summary

    Ren has never been so relieved to see a disgruntled expression in his life. His features are all the same as Ren remembers, nothing monstrous or out of place, just pure Akechi Goro—part annoyed and part irate.

    Akechi’s eyes widen. They glow almost red in the sunlight. For a second, he looks genuinely, unobstructedly surprised.

    “Amamiya,” Akechi says, and his voice is the best thing Ren has heard in months. “What are you doing here?”

    *

    One year after the collapse of Maruki’s reality, Ren starts meeting a dead boy in his dreams.

    Summary

    Essek draws out the spool of platinum cord from his component pouch. He loops it around his own wrist before catching Caleb’s wrist and repeating the motion. Caleb blinks, staring down at the wire before meeting Essek’s gaze again. Essek feels him start to tug his hand out, and tightens his grip.

    “Do you trust me?”

    “I—” Caleb starts, before breaking off, his blue eyes wide.

    “Do you trust me?” he repeats, more urgently this time. He has only moments before the door behind him will burst open.

    ———

    In which Essek teaches Caleb the practical application of tether essence.

    Summary

    Ikithon’s voice presses softly into his head. I’m pleased you made use of him. You were always talented at bending others to your goals. Even far from home, you make me proud.

    Old habits are hard to break, even if you have shed the skin that formed them.
