Summary
The spell on top of the stack was faded. The inner sigil was smudged, the paper yellowed with age. It must have been from nearly a decade ago, and yet Coco recognized it immediately. Agott clearly did, too: she delicately separated the top page from the rest of the quire and looked down at the lines. Even sitting next to her, Coco could tell that the old spellwork was confident: it was the work of an apprentice, certainly, but the magic was assured nonetheless. Coco remembered—oh, she remembered it like the memory had been inked into her thoughts—sitting with Agott on a stone ledge at Silver Eve before disaster struck.
Agott and Coco know each other too well. It’s been a long time.

Summary
Something about this festival always wiped her energy. It all added up: the pennant dance, the tension in her body from being constantly on guard, the hours of walking. It had already been a year since the last Silver Eve—since her skipped patrol shift, since Alaira—and she hadn't been looking forward to another one. But it had come and gone quickly, time passing through her, and now there was only one day in the festival left.
She had no idea how Easthies did it. He was clearly spurred by something even more deeply-rooted than her.
Luluci and Alaira meet at Silver Eve. Things begin to change irreversibly.

Summary
Agott was in love with her best friend, and she needed a plan.
A plan on how to keep living with her feelings, but without acting sappy or gross or overly affectionate. A plan that would let her appreciate Coco’s kindness without making it painfully obvious that she liked her. A plan that wouldn’t end in a straight-up romantic confession on her part.
You couldn’t just tell your best friend you liked them. Everyone knew that.
Sixteen-year-old Agott devises a system for dealing with a crush. It goes about as well as one might expect.
