    Summary

    My thoughts, as they often do these days, stray to Taylor. I still miss her. There’s a hole in my heart that no one else can fill, aching and pulsing with her absence.

    I didn’t want her to leave.

    I didn’t have a choice.

    OR

    Lisa is mourning Taylor, and decides that she wants to see her One Last Time.

    Summary

    ”Am I really a sight more worth seeing than the stars? You can see me every day, but you won’t see those as often,” Baiheng said, gesturing to the starry expanse.

    Jingliu frowned in response. No, she was wrong. Their line of work meant there existed a final day, one that inevitably lurked on the horizon—the question was whether it would come prematurely. The end could rear its ugly head at any time. The stars would shine forever; she’d have an eternity to stargaze once everything was said and done. Baiheng would not.

    ”You are worth much more than the stars,” she affirmed, echoing the arrogant promise she had once made. “I’ll always have the stars, but…” She trailed off, voice trembling just a bit. This was really unlike her. But she could not possibly finish that sentence.

    —————

    Baiheng has something up her sleeve when she goes to find Jingliu on an otherwise uneventful day for the members of the High Cloud Quintet. Amidst a dinner among the stars and buried feelings long left unspoken—with the heavens as their sole witness, Jingliu relearns what it means to be human.

    Summary

    “Am I dead?” Jingliu gasps.

    “No.” Ruan Mei pries Jingliu’s mouth open, holding the tongue down with her thumb. “You are so delightfully alive. And now I have the pleasure of putting you back together.”

    (Or: Jingliu becomes Ruan Mei’s test subject.)

    Summary

    Clove takes a deep breath, counting to three before letting out a shaky exhale. Okay, go over what you know, she thinks to herself. One, you had died. Two, you are back now. Three, the reason is…

    She pauses.

    Why was she back anyways?

    Clove is in a time loop. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the answer seems to be tied to the Girl on Fire.

    Summary

    Natalie wakes up hungover in Jackie Taylor’s bathtub.

    And again.
    Either Frank’s acid has become spectacularly good since she tried it last, or Nat has completely lost her fucking mind.

    OR

    It’s Friday, August 2nd, 1996: the summer after graduation is nearing an end, the Yellowjackets are in splinters, and Nat will never have another day if she can’t fix the one she’s already lived a hundred times.
