    Summary

    On the desk in between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu was a printout of the email. Shen Qingqiu refused to look at it. If he tried very hard, he could pretend it wasn’t there. When the email had hit his inbox this morning, Shen Qingqiu had read it and reread enough to have it memorized, as he tried to comprehend the meaning of these words arranged in this order. The second that comprehension dawned upon him, he’d deleted the email then promptly tried to forget everything about it.

    He wasn’t being very successful on that front.

    The message, written with the extraordinary eloquence that Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe was capable of, had been sent en masse to the entire faculty and student body. It stated two main points. Firstly, that Luo Binghe attested that Shen Qingqiu had never slept with, assaulted, molested, groomed, or was in any way inappropriate to him during his time at Cang Qiong Academy (thanks for the endorsement, Binghe!!). Secondly, that Luo Binghe was announcing this because he intended to marry Shen Qingqiu and did not want even the whisper of false impropriety to stain his Shizun’s name.

    Summary

    Michelle Berzatto is really, really worried about her cousin. Things will not go well for him if he stays in Chicago like he plans, and so she needs to make sure that he takes her up on the offer to come visit her in New York City. Once there, she knows that she can help him secure a job at some fancy restaurant that'll snap someone with his resume up in minutes.

    For a while, things are good. Carmy stays with Michelle and Stevie, he starts working at this new place, and he seems to be doing really well. And then... Well. Then, everything starts to go bad. They see less and less of him, and what they see when he does come by is more and more alarming. Something is happening to him. Someone is hurting him, Michelle is sure of it. But, without knowing what is going on, there's nothing she can do to stop it and not much she can do to help.

    (or: Cousin Michelle, during and after the New York saga, spanning the flight home from the Christmas in 'Fishes' to the first time she visits the Bear and sees Carmy after he leaves New York)

    Summary

    “Great,” Buck groaned, the image of Bobby standing on the rooftop and telling him ‘you’re done’ in that firm, no-nonsense tone filling his mind.
    He smacked his forehead against the table and groaned again.

    A performance review.

    Great. Just great.

    (He didn’t see Hen and Chimney exchanging knowing smirks and he was still muffling his groans against the table when they went over to the kitchen to refill their coffee mugs and had a hushed conversation:

    “Should we tell him that Bobby also asks for feedback?”

    “Nah,” Hen replied mischievously. “I kind of want to hear what he’ll come up with on the spot.”)

    --

    5 times Bobby has feedback for Buck during his annual review, and the one time Buck gets a perfect score and has some feedback of his own.

    (Or, the progression of Buck and Bobby's relationship as told by annual performance reviews.)
