    Summary

    “I can make this design. I will prove to you and everyone else that I can make this design.”

     

    It’s dark outside by the time Alhaitham arrives at his front door. He reaches into his pocket for his house key, slides it into the lock, but there’s no clicking sound as it turns.

    He steps inside and just as he expected, the house is dark save for Kaveh’s desk lamp when he opens the door and steps inside. He removes his headphones and sets them down on the entryway table. The house is quiet. Too quiet.

    “Kaveh?”

    Summary

    Big, fluffy snowflakes slowly drift from the sky, weaving through leafless tree branches and falling upon the fresh snow below. Stelle holds a mug of hot chocolate, keeping her hands warm while the cold wind howls outside. Frost creeps from the edges of the window towards the centre, blurring her view of the wintery storm.

    It has been an abnormally cold Christmas Eve, and slowly, sleep starts to catch up to her. She closes her eyes, and the last thing she remembers is the wind howling against the frosty window.

    ...

    "Hey, sleepyhead."

    Summary

    Today the sea is quiet. Too quiet.

    Rain falls in torrential downpour, creating a cold and heavy haze over the Opera Epiclese. Neuvillette watches the sea's surface bubble in anguish as hundreds of thousands of raindrops pelt it like bullets. The roaring wind pulls at his soaked jacket, and the rain makes his long, braided hair cling to his back.

    And even then it is still too quiet.

    There is not enough noise in the world to fill the deafening silence that Wriothesley has left behind.

    Summary

    Neuvillette is cold, like he’s been pulled deep below the ocean’s surface. The pressure is so intense it crushes his entire body, and yet he is completely powerless against the sensation. The attempts he makes to orient himself are futile, as the darkness and silence swallow him up. He is afraid, and he wants nothing more than for the agonizing feeling to end.

    Until suddenly, the feeling is gone.

    Now, the sky is a brilliant blue, completely cloudless, with the unobscured sun shining brightly down onto the sand. Is this a dream? Or perhaps an illusion?

    Summary

    “Where are you going? We agreed that you’d leave your patch of shade”

    “And I am out of my patch of shade,” Albedo responds. “I never said I would join you, I only agreed to leave my umbrella under the condition that I could go collect some plant materials.”

    “I also said to stop making this trip about work.”

    “And I never said this was for work."

    Once again, Aether is no match for Albedo's neurodivergence...

    ...but by the end, Albedo is panting to regain his breath. His mind is spinning, with only one thing in the centre of his thoughts.
