Summary
“So,” says Rach. “D’you think it really happened, then?”
“I think that an enterprising person may saw through a gallows' ropes if given the time, and that summer heat and rain together will rot any crop if the tarps are stolen, and that poison kills a man more surely than any stained silk, and that even if such magic existed it has never favored the powerless,” Adelina says, somewhat more bitterly than she means to. “But it is a good story.”
In which Adelina is caught in the act. This affects a few things.

Summary
"I'm happy you're here, you know that?" Rumi says. "Not just for me, but for you. I'm really glad you got a second chance."
"I am too," Jinu whispers. "I would've died for you. I came so close—"
She kisses his knuckles again, eyes stinging a little. "I know."
He speaks in a rush, as if worried that she won't let him finish. "I'm glad I didn't. I like being alive. But—you gave me something so important, I didn't know any other way to give you something back. I didn't feel like I had anything worth giving, except my life, and my soul—I've spent so long just hating myself, wasting it, but if I could've given it to you—"
"Jinu," Rumi says, "Jinu."
"You gave me my soul back," he says wetly, squeezing her hand. "And now... I'm doing my best to take care of it."
Or: Rumi's demon heritage, Jinu's newfound soul, Zoey and Mira's love that now has a safe place to land. Everything is gentle, and everyone lives.

Summary
Jinu can’t leave without Gwi-Ma’s permission, but sometimes he stands under the open and roiling sky and watches the barrier cascade in musical waves overhead, thousands of glimmering blue filaments that undulate with deceptive delicacy, offering, if even for a second, a glimpse of an overworld that rouses itself to song. It is not lost on Jinu that he serves a warped inverse of that purpose down here.
But demons don’t flock to his music. They shy away from it, wilting rather than blooming, because on a very literal level they understand that his voice isn’t for them. Gwi-Ma is a jealous god, and he cannot abide it if the rewards that his gifts reap don’t return to him, always, in the end.
Or: In which Jinu makes choices (a real mixed bag of them), trips into a situationship, regrets everything, lies to himself and others, and decides he wants to be a better person after all, actually—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Get off me,” Mira snarled, elbowing Abby squarely in the throat. Notably, he was not in the slightest bit crumpling in agonized pain at having invoked her hunterly wrath. Rather, he looked mildly startled, then flattered, the big idiot.
(Or: Mira is having the worst week since Gwi-ma tried to eat humanity, and the returned Saja Boys are making it worse. But Zoey believes in positive reinforcement or whatever, so...thanks for trying, guys.)

Summary
"What do you think, old friend?" he asks wearily, claws summoned to scratch beneath the tiger's chin. "Would the Honmoon save a guy like me?"
(Jinu doesn't betray Rumi at the Idol Awards. It still doesn't work out the way they hope.)
