Summary
"So take the dog and keep her, or don't. I'll be getting on with the rest of my day. Thank you very much, and enjoy your dog," Kuchiba says before finally having enough and hightailing it out of the detective agency.

He grins, "I'm gonna name you Ranger."

Summary
On the eighth day after his awakening, she visits him in person, finding him curled up on the divan like a pill bug. His hair spills over his face and shadows his eyes, but she can tell from the way his bare feet brace against the mattress beneath him that he’s awake. It makes the ball joints in his ankles, already visible through skin torn and pared down to the metaphorical bone, all the more prominent.
He doesn’t need to eat; Nahida brings him food anyway. He doesn’t move as she draws near, though she’s certain he hears her. In the dimness of the cell, the violet streaks in his hair seem almost to glow. Below them, the mitsudomoe symbol stamped into the back of his neck stands stark against his flesh—an indelible reminder of his artificiality.
———
In the aftermath of Shouki no Kami’s fall, Nahida chooses to pick up the pieces.

Summary
Castorice, the Maiden of Death, has lived centuries without touch, convinced she can only exist as a ghost in the world. Phainon, the Deliverer, shines so brightly that everyone mistakes his performance for perfection—while inside he feels like a fraud. Hyacine, heir of a heroic bloodline, hides her own insecurities behind relentless kindness and healing. And Anaxagoras, the infamous professor who refuses to bow to the Titans, carries grief no one is meant to bear.
At the Grove of Epiphany—a place of night, questions, and rebellion these four lives intertwine. Through laughter, study, arguments, and small kindnesses, they begin to see one another not as myths, but as people. This is a story about what it means to be real: to be flawed, fragile, and still worthy of love.Russian Translation!!: ao3

“No!” the young girl yells, throwing herself at his leg. “No! I was running ‘cause they’re chasing me! Don’t let them take me back!”
Well, that’s an entirely different story, isn’t it? He goes down to a knee again, already setting his hat on her head. “Who? Why?” He’s already spinning out exit strategies and flipping through the portfolio of gangs and criminals he’d read on the way over. The Xianzhou doesn’t have much in the way of organized crime but–
“They want me to work!” she wails. “And study! But I’m tired and I want snacks!”
