Summary
Five times SecUnit's humans saw that it loved ART and one time Iris saw it too.
---
Or,
It is common knowledge that Perihelion is an obsessive psychopath when it comes to being right, and that it is similarly obsessive over producing high-quality empirical evidence to vindicate itself (whether anyone else even cares that much or not).
It is not common knowledge that its sister has, unfortunately, also picked up this habit.
So when SecUnit disagrees with Iris over something and watches her turn around and leave without argument, it has no idea what is coming.
Well, kind of.

Turnaround Time (TAT)
[noun]
The total duration from the making of a request to its completion and delivery.—
Or,
Finally, with palpable resignation, ART asked, 'What do you need, Secunit?'
I pushed myself off of the wall and walked to the nearest medical table. Slowly and deliberately, as though the beat of my central circulatory pumps wasn’t pounding in my ears, I turned around and leaned back onto my hands. The small of my back came to rest against the edge of the platform. When I tilted my head all the way back and found the lens of ART’s camera, my mouth split into a smile that I hadn’t planned.
I said, “You.”

Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Body, eyes, hands, teeth.
Or,
“What? I dunno, I’ll just…” Yoshiki lifts his arm and bends it and is surprised to find how much it hurts. “Shit- wait…”
Hikaru watches him struggle to even touch the top of his head, then lights up and suggests, “Hey, why don’t I do it?”
“Do what?” Yoshiki mumbles, still preoccupied with figuring out the best way to go about showering.
“Wash your hair.”
Yoshiki keeps fidgeting with his hair for a second before he actually hears Hikaru, at which point he lowers his hands and turns around agonizingly slowly, like a rusted hinge that screeches when moved. “…What?"

Summary
It isn’t always gentle and soft, having a lover like sunshine. Sometimes, he confesses things to you, that he could never tell any plastic priest. Sometimes, there’s a shake to his voice, and a shake to his hands, and a falter to his endless smile.

Summary
Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.
Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of permadeath, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.
Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

Summary
Michael leans back in its seat, lifting its chin a sliver of an inch, “The Archivist is taking you on a journey, is she?”
“What’s it to you?” Gerry counters, “You old friends?”
The outline of the figure opposite him snaps out of focus like a blurred television screen, “We are not friends.” It hisses.
Gerry raises both hands in contrition, “My mistake, then.”
“But you and I, bookburner.” It presses as its face drifts back into shape, “We could be.”
