    Summary

    The accused person had made a cot out of three chairs and was asleep with his coat over his head. He sat up as Jing Yuan entered.

    Jing Yuan sized him up. He actually was about the right height according to Dan Heng’s description. His hair, bleached blonde and cropped to chin length, framed a clean, cat-like face and exceedingly sharp eyes. He still had his lab coat on, but underneath it, he was dressed in a silk shirt and slacks.

    In short, he looked quite elegant, young enough to take his fashion tips from trendy social medias, and not at all like a criminal.

    Jing Yuan, a late 30s veteran raising his ex's child, becomes acquainted with Luocha, overworked postdoc who has been accused of wrongdoing.

    Summary

    Kaveh ends up confessing to Alhaitham during a big fight before the architect leaves for a longterm desert project. Kaveh then meets an accident and is officially proclaimed dead by the Matra.

    Two years later, the Traveler claims Kaveh is seen alive, in Fontaine, seemingly without a memory of who he is, living an entirely different life.

    Summary

    The sofa in the living room is really uncomfortable. That’s why Kaveh sleeps in Alhaitham’s bed.

    Only Alhaitham doesn’t know about that. Until he does.

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    Summary

    Somewhere down the line, one of them thought it cute to open a shared account.

    Four years later was when Kaeya realized that, in all the chaos, neither of them had the presence of mind to close the damn thing.

    “Which account?” asked the teller.

    Kaeya’s habitual response was interrupted by an epiphany. He nearly dropped his whole paycheck’s worth of mora.

    “I have more than one?” he asked.

    An idea began to form in that mind of his.
