Summary
Do not form conclusions without adequate evidence. An oft-refrained precept from Lan Sizhui's early schooling, and his first handful of night hunts. But the evidence is hardly inconclusive. The quiet nobility of his features. The smooth expanse of his practiced expression. The piercing gold of his eyes, which skip from Sizhui to Jingyi and back to Sizhui, where they fix themselves, unblinking.
The Gusu Lan ribbon perfectly arranged on his forehead, embroidered with palest blue in a cloud pattern that Lan Sizhui has known since he was a boy-child being planted in the dirt.

Summary
They toast him, despite his exhaustion and reticence. They take the smooth mask of his face as confidence — they are desperate for it to be confidence. None of them want to acknowledge that all of them are several years his senior, and that he is dirty and tattered and sitting neatly by the fire because he is afraid that if he stands, his trembling will become visible.
He is growing used to killing, but it is a long journey from acceptance to peace.
“Lan Wangji!” The woman calls, as she raises her cup. “My light-bringer!”

Summary
“It’s a little difficult to think clearly with a knife pressed to his jugular, but Neil manages to wonder if he should’ve let the FBI send him to jail instead of here.
It makes sense, unfortunately, that after finding Neil bruised, burnt, and bleeding out on the cold cement floor of his father’s basement, Special Agent Todd Browning might have had some concerns for Neil’s health.
Neil just didn’t expect that concern to include his mental health, too.
Browning had offered Neil a choice that day - after listing out, like, fifty reasons why he thought Neil might benefit from some therapy.
Life in prison or a sixty day stay in a psych ward, followed by freedom.
Neil thought the answer was obvious, but his new roommate still hasn’t removed his blade from Neil’s throat - which Neil is now realizing isn’t actually a knife, but a razor blade taped to the butt of a toothbrush - so he’s rethinking that answer a bit.”
OR
The one where Neil and Andrew meet in Easthaven.

Summary
Neil has some information on Andrew in his binder already, but not much, and it's still mostly centered around Kevin; it also carries the distinct clinging of his life before, back when he was on the run, and Andrew's the one who told him to stay.
While a binder isn't a bad idea, that one seems like the wrong one, which is how Neil comes to the conclusion to just get another.
(Or, Neil revisits an old hobby.)

Summary
“Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”
Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.
“It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”
He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.
“Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.
“Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”
It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.
But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.
