    Summary

    “Hurts…” they murmur again.

    “I know, honey, I know,” Amara says, but her voice sounds…weird. Different.

    It’s a monumental effort, but Perrine opens their eyes and looks up.

    That…isn’t Amara.

    It’s their mother. 

    After getting bit by a snake, Perrine sees something strange...

    Summary

    “Her eyes instinctively float back to his, and he looks like he’s about to be sick. His right hand, still slightly outstretched towards her, twitches violently, as if he’s still trying to reach her.

    ‘Knew you’d care,’ she jokes to herself. She doesn’t find it funny, though. Instead, it just fills her with grief.”

    Right as Pomni nearly abstracts, everyone is rescued, pulled from the game and recovered from an old, dilapidated warehouse. After fifteen years, the circus is no more.

    It’s funny, Jax thinks, the timing of it all. Two weeks prior, he had told Pomni he wouldn’t care if she abstracted; that’d he’d forget about her and move on. Now, he finds himself repetitively plagued by the image of her writhing on the floor, nearly consumed by black matter.

    They’re human again; carbon-based and sickeningly real in a world that kept turning without them. He can only thank God that, despite it all, Pomni chooses to navigate it with him.

    Summary

    Sprout noticed Cosmo takes the same train as him every day across town for their work commute. He remembers Cosmo from school, where he had a huge crush on him. One packed day, he gets stuck sitting next to Cosmo on the subway, and he feels like he’s going to go crazy if he doesn’t say anything, so he strikes up a conversation.

    He discovers Cosmo is so much more interesting than he’d ever realized and he was shamefully in love with him all over again. Head over heels.
