Summary
In front of him is one of the Favonius Knights, hands holding out an enveloped letter. He looks down at it before up again to meet the other’s eyes in silent question.
“Ah, well. We found this amongst the paperwork on Captain Varka’s desk, I figured it would be best if you look at it.”
Reaching out for the envelope, Flins turns it around and finds his name written at the bottom corner. The urge to ignite this paper in flames was strong, there’s anger surging up in him at the audacity. He calms the storm as quickly as it comes, it does no good to scare off an innocent knight.
“Thank you.”
The letter feels heavy where it sits on the inside pocket of his coat. He itches to know what’s written and wishes to never open it at the same time, feeling as complicated as the feeling that's been bubbling in him ever since he received the news. He is mad, he’s crestfallen – he’s every emotion boiled into one, he faults Varka then he faults no one … it’s weird.

Summary
“Can you have a child with Uncle Flins?”
For a little while, sound reached him as if through layers of wool, and the only thing he could feel was akin to a blade piercing through his chest. Something in him folded inward, the same instinctive reflex he felt when he put out his light that one time, long ago. He did not move. Did not think. Did not speak.
Varka laughed again, too fast and too loud, a tone that went against all the natural laws of sound.
“That’s impossible,” Varka fixed the hat on Klee’s head, looking just as sad as she did. “Sorry, little spark.”
Varka invites Flins to the Windblume Festival without telling him that the festival is the most notorious courting ground in Mondstadt. Somehow, everyone already knows what they are to each other—except them.

Summary
The contract said "get rid of" the Oak Family head, Sunday. It didn't specify how. So when Gallagher discovers the mafia leader's secret—that he's actually an omega posing as a beta—a bullet seems wasteful. After all, claiming Sunday for himself is not only an effective way to neutralize the threat but also serves to kill two birds with one stone: save Gallagher from his loneliness and Sunday from his hubris.

Summary
“Would you come home with me, Kyryll?”
Varka's voice is soft in the quiet murmurs of the lighthouse. Their limbs are tangled in a mess of intertwined legs and blankets, and Varka looks serene underneath the moon's embrace.
“Home?” Flins whispers, as though the word is foreign in his mouth.
Varka reaches out to roll a strand of dark hair between his fingers, “Yes, to Mondstadt.”
Flins hums, closing his eyes.
“Very well then,” Flins nods, “Bring me home, Grand Master.”
Flins follows Varka back home to Mondstadt and relearns how to live as an ordinary human.
