    Summary

    "The old TV hanging above Kaveh’s head flickers to life just in time for the 10 o’clock news. The weatherman starts discussing the next week’s report, and Kaveh snorts. That’s such an easy job. Kaveh could do it, no problem. All you have to do is get on camera and say the same things that are true every week. This week, the desert will be hot, the rainforest will be wet, and the city will be just as lonely as it always is. Kaveh stares at the rapidly dwindling vodka in his glass and waves to Lambad for another.

    “In other news, tomorrow at Aranara Books & Gifts in Sumeru City, the renowned first-time author Alhaitham Volans will-”

    Kaveh’s head whips upward. “Who?” he says aloud."

    Summary

    It's an ordinary day. Kaveh slumps across the dining table, blinking sleep and blur out of his eyes. Alhaitham sits down opposite him in his usual chair, picks up his book to read.

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham says, “I'm in love with you.”

    Kaveh’s mouth drops in shock. Oatmeal dribbles a bit out the edges. “What?”

    Alhaitham says, calm as if nothing life shattering were occuring, “I'm in love with you.” He doesn't even put down his book.

    What the fuck??? Kaveh thinks.

    “What the fuck.” Kaveh says.

    Alhaitham sighs, “I think I was quite clear with my diction.” He rests his book on the table, grabs his cape from the back of his chair, and starts sliding his arms through the sleeves.

    “It's about time for me to head to work. I'll be taking my leave now.” Alhaitham steps to the door, grabs his keys (and Kaveh’s, in plain sight) and before Kaveh can blink again, he's out the door like it's an ordinary day.

    Summary

    Kaveh, an undergraduate student of Environmental Design, is confronted with a change in roommates at his dormitory when his best friend, Tighnari, moves out to live with his partner, Cyno. His new roommate, Alhaitham, seems a little too monochromatic for him at first, but the light of day reflects all sorts of shades on his striking eyes, and Kaveh can't help getting a little more curious about him with each day.

    Summary

    Perhaps it was that Alhaitham had always felt drawn to books rather than the immateriality of knowledge stored in the Akasha system because they were much like him: pages that would forever retain the words inscribed upon them, marked and blurred by time, yet only truly lost once the books themselves were destroyed.

    A look into Alhaitham's point of view over the years, as he faces the inseparable duality of love and grief wrapped in ribbons of memory, time and time again.
