Summary
They leave Edwards Island for good. They're all alive, all whole (technically speaking, if you discount the damage to their minds), except for Alex, who's taking home a little more than she expected.
Alternative summary: An unofficial sequel to Oxenfree. Finally escaping the island, Alex has more than one voice in her head and several (dozen) souls in her body.

Summary
Four teams, one Tournament - with everything to play for.
When Rumi gets the chance to make amends with her childhood best-friend-turned-rival, Zoey, she jumps at it with both hands. If the intimidating Lieutenant Mira Kang is part of that deal, well, Rumi can live with that. Especially when Kang's got a plan that Rumi thinks could turn this whole damn system on its head.
But as Rumi knows all too well, good things don't last. Zoey and Mira aren't out to change the world; they're out to save Rumi.
Rumi has no interest in being saved, if she can't bring her people with her. She'll die down here in the dirt before she leaves them behind.
Mira and Zoey won't stop fighting for her. Rumi can't bring herself to do the right thing, and step away. How far can she push it before it all goes up in flames and she loses them both, all over again? Can she even keep them alive, when a crueller eye than they understand turns its gaze upon them?
The game's about to start, take your places please. There's no such thing as winning, in the end.
Unless they change the world.

Summary
Letting someone into your head means letting them know you to your core, and then losing them means being alone in a way you never could have been before.
Ranger Ryu Rumi, former pilot of the legendary Mark IV jaeger Demon Song, has paid that price.
So failed cadets Mira and Zoey, humanity’s last hope, have no place in her lonely world. But with the Breach growing more active again, Rumi is forced to return to the Shatterdome to teach them how to love what she lost, and to hold on to each other harder than anyone outside of the Drift ever could.
They start to want to hold on to her too, even as she tries to stay away. But the Drift already ruined her once, and she doesn't have the strength to risk it happening again.

Summary
Rumi’s eyebrow furrowed. “You… know that you’re attractive, right?”
Of course she knew that. Mira was one-third of a world-famous K-pop group. She kind of had to be attractive.
But that was something that strangers thought of her. Not Rumi, not Zoey, not people who knew her. Not anyone she might have to interact with.
“When you say I’m hot,” Mira started slowly, “what do you mean by that?”

Summary
Rumi is in love— after the new Honmoon was made, the three of them finally got together.
Zoey has a nasty habit— she can’t stop chewing gum, and it’s driving her girlfriends (affectionately) mad.
Mira is amused— she’s excited to see these two fuck about their problems from a front row seat.

Summary
The sound of rapid knocking at her window made Rumi startle so badly she hit her knees on the bottom of her steering wheel, her hip somehow knocking into the gearshift and her wrist banging against the door. She hissed in pain, hearing a muffled “Oh, god, sorry!” and winding down the window.
Instead of the serial killer she’d been at least partially anticipating, the rolling of the window exposed wide, apologetic eyes, a bright brown with little flecks of golden warmth in the irises, black hair rolled up into a messy bun. “Hey, hi, so sorry, didn’t mean to scare you — just, any idea how long — god, it’s cold—” the woman shivered bodily, large, soft shapeless snow falling in clumps and sticking to her hair and, for some ungodly reason, bare arms “—the road closure will take? My radio doesn’t work and it looks like we’re in a 5G wasteland.”
“Why are you not wearing a sweater?” was the first thing that came out of Rumi’s mouth, which wasn’t the answer to the woman’s question that she was pretty sure she did actually know — somewhere deep down in her brain that wasn’t stuck on the outrageous statement on her t-shirt or the pretty bow of her lips.
