    Summary

    Rumi has never been blind to the way people look at her. She’s been in the public eye since she was ten years old. Being looked at—controlling the public’s eyes and wagging tongues, or handling it with grace—has been as much a constant lesson in her life as singing or swinging a sword. She’s good at it. Very good. But there has always been a safety net—they’re not really seeing her. They’re seeing Mi-yeong’s daughter, or Celine’s ward, or the face of HUNTR/X.

    This is supposed to change that.

    Summary

    They don’t hear from Celine.

    Rumi won’t lie. Despite all her media and PR training, she’s not… she’s not nearly as gracious as she pretends to be. She’s not tempered enough to not want her big, cathartic, vindicating moment, where she gets to be right for once in her life—to see Celine admit that she was wrong, maybe even give an implied apology if Rumi could be audacious enough to hope for it.

    But. No. The Honmoon is sealed for good, the world is saved, the ultimate duty of the Hunters fulfilled after centuries—

    And silence.
