    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.

    Summary

    She'd like to see them, pretty please. Touch them, even. Feel them ripple underneath her. But first she needs to take all her clothes off—something made more difficult by the fact that for some reason, Rumi is wearing three fucking belts.

    Zoey slides her hands between their bodies, scrambling to undo the first one.

    "We need to have a word with your stylist about these decisions they're making," Zoey huffs as the metal buckle opens up. She tugs on the leather until it slips loose and then tosses it to the side.

    "I thought you liked the outfit?" Rumi manages a laugh despite the clear tension in her voice, swallowing as Zoey presses her hands against the plane of her stomach.

    Zoey gives her a look. "Well they clearly weren't thinking of me when they put you in it!"

    OR: Zoey & Rumi are on separate tours, finally perform in the same city after two weeks, stumble into their hotel room and fuck about it

    Summary

    Mira had to keep reminding herself that the blood on Rumi’s chest was from her own arm, not from an injury Rumi had—especially with the way Rumi kept whimpering. She hoped she hadn't done any real damage. She hadn't been trying to hurt her.

    Gwi-Ma finds a way into Rumi's head.

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.
