Summary
“What’s that?”
Kaeya moves along the countertop toward the back door, toward the object caught in his sights: an ornate wooden box sitting on the end of the marble, unattended. Crepus’ gaze follows him the whole way, watching from below beetled eyebrows.
“Something I may give Diluc for his eighteenth,” is his only answer.
Kaeya raises an eyebrow. He looks to Crepus, asking for permission, but he does not receive further acknowledgement. He opens the box anyway, spindly fingers tracing spindly vines carved into the wooden lid. It took a lot of time and patience to carve this box, merely a vessel for what’s inside. And what’s inside is— strange.
Kaeya prepares a confession for Crepus that has long weighed on his mind; he is instead reminded that he is not the only one with secrets.

Summary
“What the hell were you thinking?” Diluc demands.
Kaeya gasps in mock affront. “Why, such language in the house of Barbatos?”
If Diluc hadn’t been frowning already, he would be now. “Spare me the sermon. What could possibly have possessed you to climb Dragonspine alone, without a Pyro wielder?”
Kaeya and Diluc have a short, revealing conversation in the infirmary.

Summary
Siffrin is your jailor. Your purpose. Your caretaker. Your better self, your now-unreachable future, your child all grown up. You—you are past the point of wanting to take their place. All you want now is a belonging of your own or another cessation, a complete one, because this? This fifth bedroom, this toothbrush, this windowsill overlooking their life? This you cannot take. And as much as every day you miss the people who are right there in front of you, you know they are not yours.
After the journey, in a five-bedroom house, Loop endures the fact that the Universe likes Siffrin more.

Summary
It"s rare to see the seelie in the city. They love to linger in the wild places, to guide the lost home, to dance in the moonlight where few will ever see them.
It won"t quite be real til morning. Until then, they can pretend it"s easy.
