Summary
She smiles brittlely at Rumi, her greatest joy and her greatest failure rolled into one. Rumi was glorious yet Celine had broken her heart, wrecked her daughter with expectations and demands to hide. “Never as close as you three were. Eventually the Honmoon grew strained. We didn’t know why until that night. Your mother was a demon. We didn’t know, not until your birth.”
"Grief is just love with no place to go."

Summary
Rumi digs her claws into Celine’s shoulder, the woman is running, one hand steady on Rumi’s back as the other clutches her weapon. It doesn’t glow blue like in the stories. Its dark, like that spot in Celine’s chest. The demons chasing them are laughing, their voice echoing off the alley walls. Celine spins around a corner and takes out the two trying to cut them off. She rolls under the red demon’s swing, curled around Rumi before springing to her feet and slicing with the sickle. Her grip is too tight, but Rumi can only whimper in fear, they were supposed to be safe here.
Snapshot from Rumi's childhood with Celine. Rumi had to learn her self-sacrifice from someone, and Celine has always borne the blow meant for others.

Summary
Celine sobs, holding the baby to her chest, her forehead pressed to Miyeong’s. Miyeong, whose warmth was already fading. The patterns across Miyeong’s face sear hotter than the rest of her skin even in death, a deep dark purple that Celine had been taught to hate. Her once black hair is purple, a deep lilac that is tipped in tacky blood. Her eyes a dull golden with a slowly expanding slitted pupil. Mi was a demon. She was the very thing they’d been told to hate and kill. She had hidden it from them for years and now Miyeong was gone.
Celine had loved Rumi from the moment she'd seen the first ultrasound. She loves her through all the trauma of losing Miyeong. Through Kiyoko's betrayal and raising a half-demon child in a world that would see her dead.

Summary
“Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”
“Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”
-
Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.
“Rumi. Rumi, no.”
Rumi inched closer to the rail.
“Rumi, please don’t.”
Zoey’s foot moved.
Rumi leapt.
