    Summary

    How do you love a cursed thing?

    Celine hopes, and she hopes more, and prays at Mi-yeong's grave, hoping vainly that one day Rumi will wake up and be freed from her affliction. Not so that she'll feel better about raising the contradiction to her duty, but so that Rumi can live her own life freely.

    Every day, she prays. Every day after, Rumi smiles at her with covered arms. Every day after that, Celine grows just a little more strict.

    She pulls Rumi out of her local private school, teaches her lessons personally, finds vocal coaches who'll meet Rumi at the estate. She limits what the world sees of her, stops taking her to awards shows, drills privacy and caution and fear into her, and tries not to feel guilty when Rumi strives more and more for perfection, for a chance to prove herself.

    OR: Celine and Rumi, throughout the years (with a sprinkle of how a potential Celine redemption could play out)

    Summary

    Many people mistakenly believe that unaging is the same as immortal.

    That our machines, our toys, our art will live on forever.

    But the truth is, such things cannot maintain themselves without our care

    and they will live for exactly as long as someone loves them.

    Summary

    You trail off, because there's guilt in you now. You really hate guilt. You never used to be guilty, and now this dumb kid made you feel it all the time, with their gentle reassurance you weren't a monster, that even you deserved mercy... It makes you sick.
