    Summary

    Dan Heng has been looking to the sun ever since he was released from the Shackling Prison all those years ago. No matter where he went, where he ran, what and who he saw, he'd always look back to the sun, but no sun he'd ever seen could ever match up to the eyes that looked at him with more kindness than he deserved that day he was set free- and exiled from Xianzhou Luofu.

    But he's no longer exiled. And he's once again face to face with the same sunlit eyes that set him free.

    There are centuries dividing himself and Jing Yuan, with a dead man in between.

    Dan Heng wants to close that gap. But doesn't know how.

    This is how it starts.

    Summary

    “Let’s get married,” Kojiro said.

    (It was the phenomenon of being so close to something that you lose the details, or knowing something so well and so confidently that you don’t bother to look twice.)

    Summary

    Ryuunosuke started his channel, originally, as a means to make his sister smile and laugh when they lived in that oppressive house. It grew far beyond that and allowed them to escape, and now it's his means of income: but he has always kept a tight lid on his privacy, separating his personal life from the persona he puts on YouTube and social media accounts.

    While struggling to come up with ideas, he clicks on a video on his recommended feed and it leads him to the work of a reclusive musician under the penname Byakko Chain. All Ryuunosuke knows about him at first is his singing voice, his hands, and his guitar.

    And those walls come tumbling down.

    Summary

    Ushijima knows that (1) obviously, manufactured wings like the ones described in the story would never work and (2) in the troposphere, altitude and temperature are inversely related, meaning that the higher one goes, the colder it gets because of the density of air particles decreases as altitude increases, so, really Icarus would have died from the lack of oxygen before he was able to get close enough for the Sun to melt away his wings. Eita says that Ushijima is dumber than a pile of rocks because clearly that isn’t the point of the story.

    What Ushijima doesn’t know is what role Hinata Shouyou fills: is he Icarus, or is he the Sun?

    He supposes it doesn’t matter— even the Sun must obey the laws of gravity.

     

    or: Hinata Shouyou doesn't know how to doubt himself. He believes he can fly, and so he does.
