    Summary

    Falin was good at what she did. She had a strength in magic, a compassionate thing that made her hands shake and her voice go soft—though it was always soft. She knew it was soft. She knew, like everyone else knew, that it was soft. Falin made the restless undead rest, and her desires never wavered, and she never stopped wanting to try. She kept going—her brother understood, agreed with her. Her father didn’t scare her. Ghosts didn’t scare her. Being away from home and being enrolled in a magic school didn’t scare her. Feeling the way she felt about Marcille didn’t scare her, either. It didn’t. It never would. But the way she felt about her own body, her own life—

    That scared her, a little.

    (or: falin knew right from the start that she didn’t quite fit into the body she lived within.)

    Summary

    Even years after their journey into the dungeon, Marcille wasn’t quite over her existential dread over short lifespans… And it showed. Every other day, she came by to Chilchuck’s locksmith shop with a shocking lack of locks to smith.


    "I’ve told you not to treat my shop as a cafe! That table isn’t for sitting at, it’s for work!"
    "… Can you go get me a coffee though, please?"
    He grumbled as he did just that. "But you’re not getting backstore today. I still have a shop to uphold."
    "Thursdays are slow days."
    He maybe should have been miffed that she knew his shop’s business so well.

    She, of course, proceeded to get backstore later that evening.

    Summary

    “So, are you two dating now?” Laios asks.

    His question is directed at Marcille— who gapes at him, and Falin— whose face turns pink.

    Shuro drops his fork.
