    Summary

    Unbidden, you imagine joining Siffrin and Isabeau at the booth, linking your arm with Siffrin's at the elbow and twining your fingers together like you so often want to. You picture a strained, begrudging smile. A hollow-cheerful oh, you're here. A cutting-off, a missed step, a broken ease.

    (Oblivious, out of place, in the way.)

    Your footsteps slow.

    You    aren't sure you should be here anymore.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    …You'd never seen him quite like this, though. He'd even asked your advice!! It felt like an honor, a sign of trust that he'd confide in you of all people about something so personal to him, when he had always seemed so confident before. You'd floundered, of course, wildly out of your depth but doing your best to pull from the best examples from the most sweetly romantic of the books you've read. Celebrated with him when things seemed to be going well (you actually helped!!). Commiserated when he thought he'd misstepped.

    When they finally made it official, he just…stopped going to you. For anything. You tried, you asked, you invited, you checked in, you wanted to meet them, know them and love them like you knew and loved Julien. If Vic was so special to him, you would love to make them part of your life, too!

    And he responded, for a while, when you asked. You made plans together that never seemed to work out. They were both busy, always going somewhere or doing something together where you weren't wanted, weren't welcome, weren't asked. And that was—fine. It made sense that they'd want to spend all their time together, right? Maybe he'd want to reconnect once they settled into their relationship. And you didn't exactly want to be around for any of the kissing or…other things they might want to do alone together. It was silly to expect everything to be the same after a Change like that. You could adapt!! (If they'd let you.)

    But—it was like sitting outside of a window instead of in the warmth of a room you'd once called home, listening for scattered snatches of conversation no longer meant for your ears, only let slip to you incidentally.

    You wanted to be someone your friends could turn to for help, advice, comfort, to share both their joy and pain. If they didn't care to share these pieces of themselves with you, the mundane as much as the momentous, did you mean anything to them at all? Were you a part of their lives, like you wanted them to be part of yours?

    Isn't it pathetic to hang around outside his window still? Take the hint, Mirabelle. Let him go.

    Summary

    "Could you even call it yearning if the thing you were yearning for was the feeling of yearning itself? It was a vicious thing to want to want. It burned like a hot spark. Mira longed to take that bright thing under her tongue and make it part of herself."

     

    After defeating the King, the saviors arrive in Bambouche to bring Bonnie home—and meet the mysterious "Nille." Nille is nothing like what Mirabelle expected. Mirabelle is exactly what Nille expected. And therein lies the problem.

    Summary

    You felt a misplaced sense of ownership over Vaugarde. You’d just gotten here! You couldn’t bear to lose the place. Not when you still hadn’t found…

    Found whatever it was you had come here for.

    You would know it when you saw it, you figured.


    Odile comes to Vaugarde with hopes of self-discovery, and gets in over her head in more ways than one.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “The Guide Morgane says all nature moves in circles. ‘After life, death; after death, life’ — like that. And humans are part of the natural world, so everything we experience is experienced again, in new-old ways.”

    Reincarnation was also a belief in your faith. Interesting. “Queen of spades. What’s that saying? ‘Nothing new under the sun?’”

    “Exactly.” She noticed your hand was down to only one card, and frowned for a second. “One of the takeaways from the Guide Morgane is that, whenever you feel alone, remember someone out there, some time, some place, maybe even close by, has felt the same way. But that gets me thinking — and this is coming from an Orthodox Changeist perspective, so I believe in inheritance — what if every struggle is rooted in a single primordial being, and the living only suffer because pieces of that being are inside us? Like, it is all that one jerk’s fault.”

    You chuckled. “I’m sure there are other religions that have that theory.”

    “Then I just get sad,” she said, “that others have felt pain too.” She sighed. “It’s overwhelming, sometimes, to be connected to the world.”
