    Summary

    Baby Ryu wasn't crying. She wasn't grunting or sighing. She wasn't moving at all.

    She never even got a name.
    ----------
    Twenty years after Ryu Miyeong dies, Mira and Zoey try to figure out where the third Hunter is, and what's up with the weird demon girl they keep running into.

    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

    Rumi thinks that this last month has to be the best month of her life.

    Well, afterlife.

    Basically the same thing.

    People are moving in. She’s seen them, both of them. Rumi practically lost her mind when she realised what was happening, because she’s been alone for an awful amount of time—ten whole years—and she was going to completely go insane if she didn’t have anyone to at least pretend to talk to.

    She, admittedly, hasn’t been a ghost for very long. It’s only been ten years, which she knows is basically nothing when she’s effectively immortal now. Rumi hasn’t entirely figured that part out, and she’s also forgotten why she died or how it happened in the first place, so all of her hopes of actually moving on have been more or less dashed for the time being. Which is fine, she’s sure she would have figured it out at some point once she actually started to lose it—which likely would have happened in the next year, because ten years was already way too long to spend alone—but now there are people, and they’re moving in, and she’s not going to be alone anymore.

    Like she said. Best month of her life.

    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Summary

    When she looks back to the seal, it had gotten closer to her. Zoey bites back another shriek, she's yelled too much for the day, and flinches. "Wow…hey there? You seem…nice."

    Its eye lands on her bleeding finger, like it was almost remorseful?

    What's up with it?
