Summary
Selene hums in approval. It had been 47 days since he’d last seen her, the longest in years. Kai recalls how his last visit to Lunar had ended on a sour note, something about not seeing each other enough. They’d thrown words they didn’t mean to, said things out of anger and circumstance. In the heat of the moment, Kai had left 2 days earlier than he’d intended. Nobody had apologised; they’d just overlooked the fight and gone about it.
That’s one of the reasons why Kai was so riled up about the question earlier. It had hit a sore nerve; both of them were avoiding it. Something inevitable.

Summary
“My council wants me to divorce you.” She needs this room to swallow her, eyes closed, she exhales, there’s no weight lifting off her chest, instead it only settles deeper.
“What do you want, Selene?” He enquires, eyes soft, and there’s no longer the Emperor or the Queen talking. It’s Kai and Selene, and not two leaders whose marriage is fucked up owing to their responsibilities. And in a really long time, Selene sees the boy she’d fallen for years ago, the way his jaw tightens, knowingly keeping the crass words inside him, fingers already made a mess out of the overly done hair from the morning.
This is her husband. Someone she had fought for months to marry, convincing the entire planet that it’s him or no one. She cannot divorce him.
“Sili,” there’s that nickname again, the silly one he’d stolen upon knowing that her father called her by it, and how Channary hated the endearment, and the sob erupts from her, body shaking as he continues, “-please.”

Summary
“Splendid, now that Madame Queen is here, I can expect the answer sooner,” Kai replies, regardless of the quivering voice of his wife. There’s a pause before she replies, “Anything that suits the Commonwealth.”
There are no further words shared between the two. Suho waits with bated breath for either of the two to apologise, but neither utters a word. At last, he hears the device being thrown across, sharp and shattering, before it leads to a curling sob, which makes his insides twist.
He juggles the knob, but the door’s locked, unmoving, and Suho’s desperate, concerned, “Kai, please open the door.”
Feels his back hit against the door on the other side, as he croaks, “I hate her so much. So fucking much.”
