Summary
Mizu was hired. At first Akemi’s fury was incandescent. This was not the desired outcome. She tried her father again, and her father said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”, and she fumed, teeth clenched, face hot. She tried to sneak out and Mizu caught her, grabbed her by the back of the neck—literally, the back of her neck, squeezed until it hurt. Pushed her back toward the house. Akemi screamed, “You can’t treat me like that!”, and Mizu, cold and soulless, said, “Like what?”, and Akemi said, “Like I’m a dog!” And Mizu said: “Can’t I?”
*
Mizu is hired as Akemi's bodyguard. Akemi takes offense.

Summary
There were many such stories, he had read, where a fisherman would fall in love with a selkie and take her coat so she would forever remain a human. They would marry, then, and likely have children.
"A happy ending," his mother had said with a soft smile, reading to him by his bedside, and quietly snuffed the candle out to tuck him in.
What a cruel thing, he had always thought. To fall in love with something so beautiful and different, only to trap it in a world where it doesn't belong.

Summary
Marcille holds the rolled-up mana herbs in her palm and can’t help but feel an incredible sense of disappointment in herself.
Instead of a cylindrical shape, the joint looks more like a piece of hastily re-wrapped candy. She tried to follow the directions in the instructional leaflet the shop owner gave her! She tried. She tried for over an hour. She really, really did.
-
Marcille and her terrible, horrible, no-good very bad joint.
