Summary
“What happened to you…?” He barely registered the soft whisper, as hands came to gently cradle his face, fingers just barely avoiding the gaps in his shattered frame. “You look human, and yet…” There was a breath.
“Can you understand me?” The blur asked.
“Under… stand…” He echoed. What had he been doing? …He couldn’t remember. His head hurt. …his everything hurt. Such… agony.
… He wanted to rest.
Crumbling under the weight of the coreflames he should have passed on several cycles ago, Khaslana makes his way to an Okhema that doesn't yet know of the Flame Reaver. There, he finds comfort, concern, and... perhaps, a bit of hope.

Summary
“You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.
Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.
“Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”
// OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

Summary
„Listen,” Ranpo says, sharply, observing how Dazai’s spine stiffens the moment their eyes meet for the first time. “When I call or text you, you answer. When you need help of any kind, no matter what time it is, you let me know. This isn’t just for work, got it? Those are the rules. Break one and you’re fired.”
Dazai’s eyes drop to the phone held in Ranpo’s tight grip to the uncompromising set of his jaw, mentally weighting his options.
“That’s fair,” he huffs, holding up his palm in a ‘gimme’ motion. “I guess if it’s Ranpo-san, I can make an exception.”
Or, Ranpo is the only member of the Agency Dazai is not allowed to ignore or hang up on. Naturally, when the day finally comes, Ranpo knows, with inevitable dread, to expect the worst. He's right to.
