    Summary

    The air in the house feels especially stilted, like a sentence left hanging. Or maybe it's just him that's been left hanging. He debates going to bed early and just sleeping the rest of his birthday away, but for some reason he stays up, keeping silent vigil.

    It reminds him of the birthdays right after their thesis fell apart— and before that, the birthdays after the death of his grandmother. He realizes, belatedly, that the only times he's spent his birthday alone have been after the loss of those closest to him.

    ---

    In which Kaveh's birthday gift to Alhaitham is a week with the house to himself.

    Summary

    “Ah.” Kaveh glows with Dendro, reacting instinctively, but before Al-Haitham can reach him, and before he can do anything, there is a sickening lurch in the space around them—it sends them both stumbling, and Kaveh loses his grip on the doorframe—

    —and Kaveh falls outside, tumbling into the shapeless nothing, eyes wide as the darkness swallows him whole—

    —And Al-Haitham wakes up from a fitful sleep, and knows that something is wrong.

    Or: Al-Haitham and Kaveh are trapped in a time loop.
