    Summary

    (Title from "King" by The Amazing Devil)

    The Tower is filled with people who will do anything to survive, including turning on their own companions. The higher their team climbs, the more of a rarity their trust for each other becomes, and the more driven the people around them are to tear them apart.

    Including the floor tests themselves.

    Bam let out a sigh, feeling some of the anxiety leak out of him with it. "The test director seemed like she had something against you. That's why I was worried."

    "Plenty of people have something against me, Bam," Khun said with a quicksilver smile. "You'll go grey if you worry about every single one."

    Someone needed to worry about Khun, since Khun certainly wouldn't do enough worrying for himself. Bam was more than willing to be the one to do it, even if he didn't have the words to say so to him. Instead, he latched onto something easier. "Have you found out anything else about the test yet?"

    Bam wasn't surprised when Khun pulled a key fragment from his pocket.

    "The test director sent doppelgangers after us because she thought we wouldn't be able to fight something with the face of a friend."

    Summary

    “I trusted you.” Bam knew he should stop, that he had strayed from the righteous anger of General Viole and into that heartbroken boy in his spiral, yet still, “When you told me that we would always be together, that you would stand with me even if it was us against the world, did you mean it?”

    He couldn’t help it.

    Did you ever mean it when you told me you loved me? You promised me forever then left me in pieces.

    Countless times he had dreamed of finally confronting the source of his most torturous affliction. He imagined spitting back the poison Aguero left in his heart, or perhaps letting his righteous fury take over to admonish him for his sins. But faced with the reality of it, it all came crumbling down, and all he had to show was the bleeding heart that still yearned for Aguero.

    Five years after Aguero betrayed FUG, he returned to the country as a prisoner of war. Bam confronts the person who once held his entire entire heart and shattered it to pieces, but it does not give him the closure he wanted.

    Summary

    “Maybe you should have let him die,” Jinsung suggests with a weak shrug. “I’ve heard Khun funeral parties are quite the thing.”
    Was that a joke or a wisp of pity for the Khun prince? As the gravity of the situation suddenly strikes him, Viole realizes there’s another person who deserves even more pity.
    Him.
    Because until the last peace contract is signed, he’ll be responsible for keeping the poor prince alive.

    [Alternatively, Prince Aguero has an assassin problem, Viole wonders what would happen if he weren't so damn good at his job, and nobody -- not even a couple of lovestruck turtles -- can tame the fierce Rak Wraithraiser.]
