Summary
“It’s my fault,” says the child, without prelude. “It’s my fault, and I don’t know what to do about it.”
Alhaitham’s brows furrow. “What is your fault?”
“Why I feel like this. Why this … happened.” The child’s voice grows smaller and its chin rests back on the tops of knees. “It was because of me. He did it for me, and now? Now, we’re…”
In which Alhaitham, in his dreams, visits the most crucial of Kaveh's memories. Or, they learn what it means to love another person unconditionally.

Summary
“A symposium in Greek[,] literally means a drinking party. But Plato’s Symposium takes the occasion of a drinking party first to praise Love and then to define it. It is a philosophical dialogue[,] in which meaning is created in the exchange of words between the participants.” – Gillooly, Columbia University.

Summary
“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.
There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.
“...Kaveh?”
Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.
It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

Summary
Arguing is Alhaitham’s and Kaveh’s favourite pastime. However, their light-hearted bickering takes a serious twist after a long day and one too many drinks. They cross lines Kaveh always thought to be walls and he ends up storming out of the tavern, furious and homeless.
As if this wasn’t enough, where Kaveh’s team planned to build, a Leyline has formed. Kaveh knew from the start the Leyline would be trouble, but he didn’t expect it to be the kind of trouble to send him back in time.
Here in the past, Kaveh is a student at the Akademiya again. A time where he isn’t in debt nor suffocated by workload. A time where Alhaitham still looks at him like he would trade in the world for his safety. Kaveh swears to himself to seize this second chance, but Alhaitham catches on quickly that there is something odd about his Senior…
or:
Kaveh accidentally travels back in time and tries to fix Alhaitham's and his broken relationship.

Summary
Kaveh paced. “Okay. Fine. Let’s play your game.”
“It’s your game.”
“Shut up. Assume mutual desire. Assume emotional repression. Assume shared domestic space.”
“Assumed.”
“Now: Is it ethical to pursue a romantic relationship if doing so risks destabilizing the existing cohabitative equilibrium?”
Alhaitham blinked. “You’re asking if kissing me would ruin the kitchen schedule.”
“I’m asking if kissing you would ethically constitute sabotage.”
There was silence.
Or, the ethics of love were complicated, but the ethics of not kissing each other were worse.
