Summary
Everything was perfectly normal. Except that it wasn’t.
Rumi knew it the way she knew that the sun rose in the east and set in the smooth line of Mira’s shoulders, graceful and lithe. Rumi knew it the way oceans ebb and words flowed through Zoey. Rumi knew it the way she knew she would die.
And that the Honmoon would remain.
Because the Honmoon was stronger than ever. It waxed as she waned.
And that was the thing, wasn't it.
Or: Rumi died that night at Namsan Tower. It just took her body a little while to catch up.

Summary
Mira asks, “So, what, we just pretend ‘polytrix’ isn’t top one on the global trending list right now?”
“It’s—” Rumi physically freezes. It looks like it takes her a moment to compute what Mira had said, then she finishes stiffly, “It’s what?”
Mira’s never been one to lie; and, lo and behold, hashtag polytrix was indeed pressed up as number one on the social media app they’re staring at. Zoey glances down at the related hashtags trending with it: #ITSREAL #POLYTRIXONTOP #RUMIONBOTTOM #HUNTR/XGIRLS #TOTHEGAYWORLD
Or, Mira, Rumi, and Zoey get caught in the middle of their fans' shipping war—but maybe one ship in particular has more substance than the others.

Summary
During the Idol Awards the Honmoon had fallen and in its place was something other. Celine hesitated to call it exactly the same, but she didn't have the experience to say otherwise either. No Hunter before had ever come this close to a permanent sealing. Now, a rainbow webbing was left in its place—stronger, Celine thought. Better, she hoped, but also haunting. It was too alien.
And Celine couldn't… touch it.
The Honmoon had abandoned her after its rebirth.
___________It's been one year since Celine last saw Rumi on her knees and begging to die.

Summary
A chance encounter brings Zoey’s past walking straight into her present—five years of first love wrapped in an easy smile and a voice that still feels familiar.
For Rumi and Mira, it’s a revelation they never saw coming, one that tilts the balance they’ve quietly built between the three of them.
It’s not jealousy, not exactly.
It’s the sudden, sharp question of whether Zoey has ever seen them the way they’ve always seen her.Casual touches to turn into careful ones, shared laughter fades into polite smiles. Rumi and Mira tell themselves she won’t notice.
Zoey doesn’t know what changed.
They don’t know she feels it.- Language:

Summary
Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.
Or
Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.
“I love you, Celine.”
The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—
“You too,” Celine said back.
‘Pop.’
“Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.”
Or
If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.
