    Summary

    "The only way out is to pass all of the tests," Nora said brightly, "If you don't, you stay here forever. I'd love the company."

    "Forever?" Chuuya winced at that. There was no way in hell he was staying here forever. Especially not with Dazai.

    "Oh, don't worry," she said, "you don't actually stay here forever." Chuuya waited for the catch.

    "Only until you starve to death. Then you die."

    Amazing.
    - - - -
    Five tests to prove the depth of your bond.

    Chuuya and Dazai get trapped inside of an ability made sigil. Now there's a creepy lady telling them that in order to get out they need to complete five tests.

    If they don’t pass they’ll just stay there forever or die, but no biggie, right?

    Summary

    Chuuya, alone and suffering.

    And Dazai moved without a second thought.

    Because if he could just reach Chuuya, then everything would be alright. It was always alright, as long as Dazai could reach him.

    (Or, Chuuya falls prey to a different kind of corruption than usual, but Dazai is as determined to save him as ever.)

    Summary

    Zenix waited, lips slacked and teeth bared, for her dark stare to shift - for her to twitch or writhe. For her to spring back to life and bolt from his lap; for Garroth to break through the undergrowth and startle at the sight of him bowed in the dirt, drooling upon a carcass. But all that came were the slow, rattling heaves of the canopies overhead, watching him with hollow eyes.

    Spring has arrived, and Phoenix Drop is dying. A girl from a grave decides to remedy this.

    Summary

    Some blame fell on the Antivan Crows’ training methods and traditions, but that was not the whole reason. She was a product of the same traditions, and instead of stopping the cycle, she perpetuated it — adding her own generational Dellamorte cruelty to it. There were no gentle ways to train thoughtless weapons to wield knives for the Crows; it was always a sacrifice. In order to take a life, you had to shut down the insides that screamed about morality, the suffering of those left behind, and the need for justification. To switch off those emotions, Crows had always been cruel to their fledglings.

    Caterina invites Lucanis and Rook for dinner. It is time to put all past grievances behind them.

    Summary

    There is a room in the depths of Villa Dellamorte. Dark, dusty, filled with furniture covered in white cloth, hidden away for some half remembered purpose, old even when Lucanis and Illario were children. Now, Lucanis watches Illario’s tall stature, shoulders straight, never slouching, familiar as Lucanis’s own breath in his lungs but the shadow he casts in the room is all wrong. They are too old to be in here. In the ghost room.

     

    While Rook is trapped in the Fade, Lucanis and Illario revisit a childhood haunt.
