Summary
"All told, Kasamatsu is not the kind of person who would ordinarily object to sharing space with anyone.
It’s just that Kasamatsu has successfully hidden the fact that she’s a girl for two years now, and she can’t help but think that’s going to be a lot harder to do with a roommate."

Summary
"How long have we known each other?" Her voice felt rusty.
Raoul was sprawled next to her on the bed. He blinked at the ceiling and cracked his neck. "Twenty years?"
"Twenty years," Buri sighed. She felt like steam was rising off both of them. "We could have been doing this for twenty years."

Sometimes it takes a while to go from friends to lovers. But it helps if you can read each other's minds.

Summary
Katya dies. Katya lives. Katya fakes her own death, which is a metaphor for dying, even if she survives. Note that we never see Katya after her fake death is reported to Goncharov, because the movie is not interested in Katya’s survival; it is interested in her loss. Note that it can be argued this lacuna is of no particular significance, given that we never see her before that, either, because the movie doesn’t exist. Note that Goncharov never sees her, really: note how often in their scenes his eyes are somewhere else, how rarely their conversations fall into the familiar visual rhythm of shot/reverse shot (compare with his exchanges with Andrey, particularly just before the scene on the bridge). Note how often this has been true, on screen and off it: that a husband never really sees his wife. Note how often the effect of cinema as an art form has been to document that men never really see women.
(Or: A story about a girl, or a story about a story, or a story arguing that these are the same, insofar as this could be described as a story at all, which it is very much not.)

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.
