Summary
Due to the guilt of her past actions weighing her down, Bachikin found herself pulling away from her friends and wandering the ruins of the city at night. She hadn't spoken a word about this to anyone, but, one night, at a broken-down shrine to the goddess Daeru, she finds the only person who would understand what she'd been through, and the one who would soon become her closest friend.

Summary
As daggers go, it is impractical. Key-teeth on the hilt require a unique grip that Mr Iron does not prefer. The metals are muddily mixed and soft, too easily melted, and the crossguard is more ornamentation than function, a "heart" pierced through so many times it has itself become almost a weapon.
The blade has been soaked in blood, is run through with veins that give it the sense of being uncomfortably alive, and they beat with some butchery of the Correspondence that, unfortunately, Mr Iron can still decipher. "I love you," it reads. "Kill me."

Summary
It's rare for Hearts to pay a visit to Veils' rooms. The utter darkness is as unwelcoming as the bared teeth and high hissing conversation muted by silk drapes. It is rarer still for Veils to pay a visit in return, to willingly subject itself to someone else's home. And yet the rustling of its arrival is unmistakable, as is the hungry murmuring of its drapery.
Hearts is preparing meats for tomorrow's shops, cleaver in hand as it sweet-talks flesh into more pleasing shapes, better for consumption. It turns, a grin wide behind its teeth. "Good evening, my dear. What a surprise this is."
