Summary
Five years on from a tumultuous divorce, a string of misfortunes lands you at the doorstep of your estranged ex-wife.
She has it all: the house, the kids, a successful career, while your life lies in tatters. Abandoned by friends and lovers through your own terrible choices, she is the only one left to whom you can turn.
With the ghosts of your shared past ever-present, the idea of reconciliation seems absurd - no, impossible. What could possibly be salvaged from the wreckage of a marriage so volatile, so fundamentally broken?
***
"Do you even remember why you married me in the first place, Alcina?"
"I remember why I divorced you. I'm reminded every time I look at your damn face," she spits. "You're completely insufferable."
"Charming. I was about to say the very same thing."

Summary
Her heart still beats with her performer’s high, the violin rings through her head, its case is firm under her arm. There’s a soft, dewy rain falling. Haruka unfolds an umbrella over the two of them as they rush down the street: neon-smears of light refracting in the gossamer rain, traffic honking, asphalt oilslick-glitter-wet. Michiru laughs as Haruka half-hoists her over a puddle, an exuberant twirl, a grin into her hair.
Maybe that’s the point of it all. The why. She’s a performer, and this life of hers: that’s the one thing that will never get applause. That’s how she knows it’s hers. That’s how she knows she’s living it. That it won’t kill her, in the end.

Summary
Fidelity that blossoms and dies...
Canaan House has always had so many heartbeats. Whether artificially through John's handiwork, or through those who come to its hallowed halls by invitation. I was one of those invitations, once. Loveday, she believed the best in the possibility. She believed more when she met Cristabel. Mercy will never truly know Cristabel Oct, I am sure of this. Whatever remnant soul fragments of Cristabel remain for Mercy to chew on like the badly behaved animal she is... that is not knowing the person, is it?
Any Lyctor would know that, but it takes a certain brand of one to admit it. I like to think I'm that kind of Lyctor. The one who admits to their faults. The one who can see maybe, just maybe, she was wrong.

Summary
Harrow finds you sitting at the shuttle bay, wrapped in layers and layers of soil-brown cloth to keep the chill off, face painted with the ochre paint the nuns gave her, and she says, “You’re leaving.” It’s not an argument, nor a question — it’s an observation. She sounds numb.
“Don’t tell me that’s surprising,” you say with a lazy grin that you do not mean and do not really feel.
