Summary
Again. That word haunted them.
Again and again they rode alone, reliant on only their thoughts, and even those betrayed them.
But back in 1999, maybe they could learn how to be a human being.
And maybe by knowing the rowdy crowd known as the Hex, they could unlock the chains around their heart.

Gustave is a university student living off a scholarship that covered the essentials, but not everything—not his own space, not the little things like tools for engineering projects or fixing the busted laptop he’d been limping along with since high school. And if the Dessendre family paid well…
Well, he’d survive a little attitude from a teenager. How bad could it be?

Summary
Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.
“I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.
Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."
or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.

Summary
It was not the Lumière of her childhood to which she had returned, and it never would be again. How could it? After everything they had gone through? Too much had changed.
The city. The world.
Her.
Some scars simply could not—should not—be painted over. Not even with all the power to shape creation’s design at your beck and call.
They would remain, but so would you.
—
or: With Gustave's help, Verso learns to let go.
// a canon divergent exploration of what it means to be alive and the reasons we find to continue. tomorrow comes.
