Summary
Wanderer is artificial skin stretched over fake limbs and gaping cavities and he was never meant to be anything else. His mother gave him a heart and then she took it away and that was the first time he realised that not being empty is a privilege reserved for humans and gods and that he will never be able to become either.
—
Horrifyingly, the next thing that comes out of Wanderer’s mouth is, “Where have you been staying then?”
“Here and there,” Kazuha muses, looking up at the sky. The sun is coming down hard and Wanderer can see the bottom of his smile like this. “Why?” he inquires, a teasing glint to his eyes when he meets his gaze again. “Are you offering?”
“No,” Wanderer snips and turns around, successfully ending this conversation by walking away.
Or: Wanderer wants to be human so badly he forcefully dehumanises himself to cope (a tragedy in three parts)

Summary
Sorush swooped down. “Do not avert your gaze from me,” she demanded imperiously, diving under the Wanderer's hat and peeking up to see his face. He furiously tried to hide his grin, but failed. “Aha! You are rightfully grateful for my aid!”
“…Don’t flatter yourself.”
She narrowed her eyes, tapping her chin. “No,” she mused. “No, I shan’t – for as my Yasnapati, such doings are your task, after all.”
“Dream on, little pest.”What if Sorush were to be accompanied by someone else who can fly and knows a thing or two about self-sacrifice - and would absolutely roll his eyes into another dimension at her most noble and exalted life's mission?
Having played Khvarena of Good and Evil with Wanderer the whole way through, I couldn't help but envision them bonding and standing against the Abyss together - and Wanderer taking on the role of teacher of life lessons for once. He's been exactly where she is, after all.
Can be read as a standalone!
