Summary
Columbina tapped her chin very slowly. “Well, I'm the one wearing an apron and nametag while you aren't… If anything, I should be asking who you are.”
Sandrone has to force herself not to explode at this point. She's offended, she's confused, she's annoyed to hell and back. Whatever trick the universe was pulling on her at this very moment, she does not like it.
“Hah, as if you don't already know my name for some reason,” she snaps back. “You know what, I’m not going to waste my time dealing with you.”
Without caring for an answer, she immediately pushes past Columbina to go into the backroom to look for Lauma. If only she had turned back – even for a split second – before the curtain closed, then she would have seen the abrupt change in Columbina's expression.
Sandrone is broke, tired, hungry, and worst of all, an engineering student.
After her father gets hospitalized, she decides to get a part-time job at a flower shop to become less of a burden to him, but what she doesn't expect is the annoying and utterly incompetent coworker that she has to put up with.

Summary
After the battle with Dottore, Columbina is left to grieve the loss of her beloved Sandrone.
Until one day…
Sandrone returns, alive but without her memories, her core unstable and fragile. The only thing left etched deep within her is one name, Columbina.
To keep her alive, simple treatment is not enough. Sandrone’s core responds only to Kuuvahki, Columbina’s power, which requires closeness, skin against skin, breath against breath, energy flowing from one to the other.
But the thinner the line between healing and longing becomes, the more Columbina fears what will remain when the energy transfer is over.
No matter how much Sandrone has changed, or even if she never remembers, Columbina will stay.
She will be her home.

Summary
Sandrone retells the story she has explained thrice by now; the backup plan in Fontaine, the blueprints updated after her interactions with the Wanderer, Master Albedo, and the witches of the Hexenzirkel, the important nature of her core, and all the instructions a robot can give to be rebuilt over and over again if needed. Lauma listens, and listens, and the sun setting behind her gives the warmth in her eyes a certain spark that makes Sandrone feel as if she could remotely understand what dying and reviving by her own hand feels like.
“It pleases me to hear of your success,” Lauma says, when Sandrone runs out of things to explain. “Nod-Krai welcomes you back again, for as long as you may need. Though I suppose you came here with a goal in mind?”
In the aftermath of her rebirth, with Columbina dragging her along into a mission to get Lauma and Nefer to fix whatever is keeping them apart, Sandrone finds that what comes after death and learning to live again is an odd thing indeed.

Summary
Rumi thought everything would be okay. Their fight with Gwi-Ma had made it seem like Zoey and Mira came to terms with the fact that she had patterns just like the demons.
So, why is it that they can't even look at her?
Why can't Zoey meet her eyes? Why won't Mira speak to her?
The loneliness is killing her, and she feels as if she's growing colder with each passing second. How is she supposed to fix their relationship when it seems like her two best friends-her only friends-don't want it fixed?
Running from her problems worked for years. It kept her within that circle she wanted to return to. If it worked before, what was the problem with returning to her old ways of hiding and avoiding any issues she came across?
There wasn't any other option. She couldn't take the pain of their stares anymore. She had to get away from them. She just had to.

Summary
Mira and Zoey have known since the beginning that their harmony would never be complete. The Honmoon never picked a third hunter. She could be dead for all they know.
Rumi has lived in the demon realm all her life, with a voice so powerful that it turns demons to dust and opens passageways in the Honmoon. The demons fear it, leaving her well enough alone. Gwi-ma tolerates her jabs because he cannot control her. Rumi is sick of the constant terror that seems to always follow her around, she could tell half of Gwi-ma's court to jump into a lava pit and they would scramble to do it.
...
Rumi is a liar and a fraud who wants nothing to do with the life she has been born into.
She shouldn't want to keep going back to the human world, but is it really such a bad thing? All she has to do is avoid the new generation of hunters and it'll all be fine.
