Summary
If Till was predisposed to run, Ivan was predisposed to bite and tear into the nearest living creature with his teeth, himself included. "We grew up together," is what Till settles on, lamely. "We can't be separated now."
Ivan barks out a laugh. "Suddenly you're sentimental?"
Understanding his relationship with Ivan would be so much easier if Ivan would fucking help.

Maybe there was something in all of them that made them act this way. It's so simple that a child could figure it out.

Summary
She wonders again: what would it be like to drown? If she killed herself and became someone else, would anyone notice? Shu might point and say: Alien imposter. The perfumed letters she keeps hidden within her desk might say: You are no longer the girl that I loved. Or, he might say: You've bloomed.

"Hinako-o-o." Sakuko clutches at her sleeves and whines. "Wouldn't you ride in on a white horse and save me?"
Hinako lifts her head, feeling sluggish and belatedly startled. She looks at her friend's face and feels a foreign ache. "But I'm not a boy," she says.

Summary
Juwon breaks himself apart and puts himself back together, then he returns to Manyang thinking he’s found his way home. In part, it’s true. He’s just wrong about one thing—home doesn’t have to be a place. Sometimes, it can exist in a person. And it’s unfortunate, because Dongsik starts feeling a lot like home.

The wind greets him differently today.
In months past, it would only brush against him—his hands, his cheeks, and on rare occasions, the pulse on his wrist; but this time, it swirls and swaddles. It flutters from shoulder to shoulder and tightens around his waist; then it dances over to Dongsik and greets him all the same.
He pays it no mind and steps into the rustling reed field.
Dongsik follows dutifully.

Summary
“Hers is a story characterised by absence. Her absence from the earth above, then her absence from the underworld. In essence, it is a story defined by longing. The union is only a part of it: the heart, then, is the separation.”
