Summary
Cape Cod, 1985.
I’ll remember that summer for as long as I live.
You, with your all-American blond hair and green eyes and your quick, smart mouth. You in your I LOVE N.Y shirt, tossing back laugh after laugh. I laughed, too, that day—so much. You, sipping on a bucket of Coke, chasing down the fizzy high with ice cream in every flavor of sweetness. We shared straws, salty fries, the shade under a tree. You, with the easy grin and the slender shoulders. Your back disappearing under the river’s surface, fish swimming in between our legs.
I didn’t have my camera, back then, to capture your everything. I wish I did.

Summary
And her recollection stops there, halted by the mara, as though she had encroached upon some ancient forest, blanketed in mist. Her someone, whatever shape or form they did take, evades her, like the touch of a breeze, a trick of the light. There, but not really there.
For better or for worse.
Like a shattered mirror, Jingliu’s memory of the one who she remembers as Baiheng is both utterly clear and fragmented beyond repair.

Summary
“Why do you think you’re from a different world?” Mydei asks.
“Last night, I went to sleep in the same bedroom as you in the house we've had since last year,” Phainon says. “This morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar room that looks like it was built a thousand years ago. You weren’t in bed with me, there wasn’t a wedding band on my finger, and”—his eyes flicker to Mydei’s chest, a fiery blush blooming on his face—“you’re half-naked.”
“We sleep together?” Mydei asks, surprised.
Phainon deadpans.
“We’re married.”
(Phainon finds himself in a modern Amphoreus where he and Mydei have been married for years. Mydei finds himself with a Phainon that claims the two of them are married.)

Summary
The first time Phainon draws blood from Aglaea, he goes corpse-white with shock and is immediately struck down.
“No,” Aglaea says severely. “You have done well.”
There is no use for a sword that fears blood. This must be instilled.

Summary
“The purpose of marriage in Kremnos is to continue a bloodline. The more accolades you collect on the battlefield, the more valuable you are to your family. Very few are privileged enough to marry for love. Love is…reserved for the one you're bound to by your heart, not by the decree of the law.”
“Is that not the same person, usually?”
Mydei lifts his eyes to Phainon’s, and he freezes, as if pinned in place.
“No,” Mydei says, with as much weight as it deserves.
He swears he hears Phainon swallow.
“Oh...”
On a night like any other, in one of Amphoreus's many cycles, Mydei and Phainon discuss everyone's marriage but their own.

Summary
“You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.
Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.
“Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”
// OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

Summary
Encryption 05210: Don't remind me. I ████ you. I ████ you to your rotten core.
█████ 15509: You're breaking me. I don't know what else you want from me. You're heartless. You take my body and not my heart. You wrench it apart and leave the rest for others to feast on. I know you don't mean it.
Encryption 04556: You don't know me at all.
