    Summary

    After everything, the girls talk. It's messy (there's crying and anger and fear and love), and it ends with a promise: No more lies. It's only afterwards that Rumi thinks of her visit to Celine, and she very promptly decides NOT to share that particular experience with Mira and Zoey, content to let that little snippet of time die quietly in her memories alone (and really, what harm can one more lie be?). But, as Rumi has found out recently, her secrets have a way of coming to light, whether she wants them to or not.

    (It starts with a visit from Celine.)

    Or: Mira and Zoey find out what Rumi asked Celine to do.

    Summary

    There was the sound of the door shutting. A few footsteps.

    “She’s not here?” the voice asked.

    Zoey dropped her voice lower, almost conspiratorial. “No. She went out—probably won’t be back for, like… fifteen, twenty minutes.”

    A beat of silence. Then a quiet chuckle. “Good. Then I can steal you for a while.”

    There was a nervous little hiccup of laughter from Zoey. “Wait—don’t get too close, I’m still live—”

    “I’ll stay out of frame,” the voice promised, tone coaxing.

    The sound of a hand brushing fabric, then a soft shuffle—the mic catching the rustle as Zoey was pulled slightly sideways. A faint smack of lips meeting. Quick. Too quick to be mistaken.

    Chat slowed to a crawl.

    [ewhfjdjw;]: ???????

    [rumi4lifer]: wait…

    [sealoverfour45]: SHE DIDNT MUTE THE MIC OMG

    [wispawaymo]: that… that’s not Rumi’s voice???

    [qeusopullsafree]: YO WTFFFF

    [hollowjars]: no way no way no way

    or

    Zoey forgets to mute and her fans think she's cheating on Rumi but in reality she has another girlfriend (Mira) that they don't know about because she private.

    Summary

    Celine’s last words to the Mira and Zoey were ‘I’m so sorry’. It’s then that they realize that the words were not for them, they were for Rumi. The realization tore through them like glass, leaving only the desperate need to move. To find her before it was too late.

    The honmoon is whole again, but it feels sour with mourning. Mira’s stomach turns, bile rising in her throat. Zoey’s chest constricts until she can barely breathe.

    Please please please Rumi, I’m sorry. We're so sorry. We were scared, we didn’t understand.

    ---

    or Celine grants Rumi her wish and helps Zoey and Mira seal the honmoon.

    Summary

    "Do you have any idea what it's like watching you drift further and further from us? Watching you turn yourself into something unrecognizable? Because I do. I've seen demons cling to human faces like masks. I've watched them mimic grief. Fear. Kindness."
    "Mira." Zoey warns.
    "And lately? When I look at you? I don't see the girl we grew up with and love."
    Rumi's hands begin to shake. "...what do you see?" she whispers.
    "A demon. I don't trust you. Not with me, not with Zoey, not with yourself. You're no different than any other demon we've come across. No different than Gwi-Ma."
    There is a shocked silence.
    Rumi face crumples, it reminds them of the way she begged just a few weeks ago. Begged them not to leave her. To love her. Things had been so good, she was selfish to think she could have this. To want this.
    Her tone is flat and resigned. "Oh."

    -------

    or Rumi tries to hide her full demon traits after the idol awards to protect Zoey and Mira from her, and out of fear that their new fragile relationship will break under the reveal. Mira lashes out in the worst way possible after she catches Rumi in yet another lie, and angst ensues.
