    Summary

    After breaking free of the loops, Siffrin is more than ready to move on and enjoy life again. They’re with their family—their friends—for another journey, one without the King’s Curse nipping at their heels, and everyone will be together for the foreseeable future. So Siffrin is fine. Great, even! The others don’t need to know that their experience in Dormont still hangs heavy as a noose around their neck.

    They just need to get over it.

    -

    Or: Siffrin has trauma, learning to open up is a process, and the others realize the loops left deeper scars than previously thought.

    Summary

    “Satoru will take the mission from here.” He hears Suguru from behind the door, his voice devoid of any emotion, flat and almost soulless.

    He doesn’t open the door, fingers only curling tighter against the metal. It’s clammy against his skin, and his palm grows cold. His other hand is clenched at his side, the soft curve of his nails digging into the tender flesh of his palm.

    “Can’t we just leave everything to him from now on?" Nanami’s voice slips through the crack beneath the door, raspy, cold, empty; it speaks heavily on the loss he feels, but his words crawl before Satoru’s feet, choking him, ripping the air from his lungs, or whatever it was that has been keeping him standing this long.

    “After all, he never cared about any of this in the first place. Why should we have to sacrifice our lives instead?”

    Life is cruel and Nanami’s harsh words ring true.

    Summary

    She breaks him gently, the way she does everything.
    "Don't you think it's time you moved on, Wanderer?" she asks, casually, innocently. "I have no need for you anymore."

    The Wanderer is shattered by Nahida's sudden rejection. It tears too deeply at old wounds for him to question whether something more is going on. Unexpectedly, it's another Dendro girl who helps get him back on his feet- hopefully in time to realize Nahida needs saving, too.

    (aka, wanderer + collei bonding while i put him and nahida through the wringer)

    Summary

    Spiritual Successor to "It Came From the Vents." Gordon Freeman has spent three years trying to stabilize the AIs he befriended after a disastrous end to a military project. He's stolen company property, ignored his family, and neglected himself in hopes of success. Now that he's made progress, it's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the AIs in question may not be a program at all. No one can say for certain what this revelation will lead to, but one thing's for sure: HR is going to have a field day with this one.
