    Summary

    After the incident at the House of Spiders and a long time struggling to stay safe in the backstreets, Araya gets chosen to attend a good school in the nest of K Corp. However, schools of the Nest are very different from schools of the Backstreets and she struggles to adapt to the higly competitive environment of her new class.
    Fortunately she has the help of her loving mommy, Ryōshū, and a suspiciously benevolent teacher, Miss Faust.
    Knowing she can't let them down, Araya is determined to be the best of her class, keep her scholarship, and move on to second grade.

    A what-if ... what if Milo Winter's infamous The Age of Scorpius was rewritten to be a science fiction story? And also, worldbuilding that actually makes sense (I hope).

    Summary

    Their relationship, at best, could be described as "cordial". Acquaintanceship was the most accurate term—too far from being close, markedly more distant than the connection he shared with other Sephirots, and yet, there was something about Chesed that drew Netzach’s attention, something quietly compelling. An indistinct quality lingered about the blue-haired Sephirot, something too similar to Netzach, though frustratingly difficult to define.

    Summary

    This being—Yesod—has never truly been alive, has it? Yesod’s never been the name of a person, after all. Gabriel is—was—a man, and yet Yesod is a concept, a Sephirah, a part of a whole, a foundation.

    This name of his describes a role impossible for any man to fill, a circuit component with one purpose, to convert the Seed of Light into something that can affect humanity, as nebulous as that is, and now to gather the scattered Light, a task as impossible as collecting the photons that diffuse through a prism.

    But he is light, is he not? This form was not born of a human; it was created in the image of one, a simulacrum of a man who had died not knowing who he was, a machine that had lived myopically, seeking answers to a question he lacked the ability to even conceive of, a question he could not know even was real.

    Yesod tries to figure out who—and what—he is. Is he dead or alive, a man or a machine?

    He might get some answers by fighting the Singing Machine.

    Summary

    The sheet which had previously covered the reflective surface of Yesod’s bathroom mirror sits on the sink counter. The white fabric meticulously folded, given all the deference and respect that a ritual of this magnitude deserves.

    Yesod stares into it and slowly begins to unbutton his shirt. He makes it three buttons in before stopping dead in his tracks.
