And so Mai is cursed to know that she will love her sister even if her sister doesn’t love her back.
—
Or, Mai Zenin’s life, and the things she learns when she’s not supposed to.Or, Mai has known for way too long why twins are a bad omen for sorcerers. This is that way too long.

Summary
There's a man is in front of Mizi that she doesn’t recognize.
He crouches down, low enough that he has to look up at her on the cot. He has short hair— silver. Even kneeling, he somehow looks larger-than-life. He looks at her kindly, and despite his furrowed brows, even smiles at her.
He takes a breath, and introduces himself as Till.
(Till finds Mizi one month after his thirtieth birthday. This is something she will only learn about later.)

Summary
“And what about your husband Hideyoshi?” Teio asked. “I know you said he was doing accounting work with the local businesses. Is he still in that business, or—”
Ten sets of chopsticks stopped moving in sequence across the restaurant.
Nature's smile crumpled. “He died, Teio.”
More than two decades after the miracle at the Arima Kinen, a coincidence brings Tracen Academy trainer Tokai Teio through the doors of Nice Nature's restaurant. But a coincidence isn't what brings an ordinary woman and her former crush closer than ever before.
Only pain could do that. Pain, and the urge to keep running, no matter how bad it gets.
