    Summary

    Summary

    Enkrid has always fought his silent battles successfully. But when a deadly curse leaves him blind, deaf, and mute, his entire squad is thrown into chaos. With their captain suddenly cut off from the world, they’re left scrambling in desperation, racing against time to bring him back before the curse claims him for good.

    It’s a good thing their captain trusts them wholeheartedly.

    Summary

    Fear was supposed to be predictable for Encrid, just another echo in the endless cycle he’s learned to survive. But when death stops being distant and starts striking at the people he can’t bear to lose, the loop becomes a cage tightening around his ribs. Every reset brings him closer to the truth, closer to danger, and closer to the feelings he's starting to notice and embrace.

    Or: the ferryman makes it so that the loop begins only when someone from his squad dies.

    Summary

    Alicia's hand pulls away from his chest as he sits up with fumbling apologies, and a shiver promptly follows, as if the trembles intended to fill that gaping space left behind. It's hard to get words out, with the chill rolling around in his ribcage like a snowball.

    "—Eye of Summer," is all he really registers of Alicia's voice.
