Summary
“Suddenly I’m thinking of tiramisu. Coffee with the sweet mascarpone cream…” Nahida slumps against her chair, casting her face towards the dome ceiling of the lecture hall, the little circular hole appearing white, like a sun that overlooks the sky. “I’m blaming you for this, Suisen. And you’re treating me some tiramisu once class’s over.”
Leaning his cheek against his hand, Suisen stares at his best friend. Nahida, who never seems to understand what people are saying, but always listens attentively regardless. Nahida, who dances with the birds and leaves, just as much as she sings along with the crowds on the chorus. You do not belong in the monotony of the lecture halls and the tall towers of the Akademiya, he often thinks to himself, of her. You belong out there in the world, admiring everything there is to be seen, being loved by everyone there is to see you.
“We don’t have to wait until class is over, do we?”
(In some other reality, they can be just two ordinary people living mundane lives, admiring the beautiful complexities of the world just as is, and nothing more.)

Summary
The worn out lady exhales, breath merely a thread of air in the billowing wind of the sands. “You know the sands are not just… some place you can walk as you please and hope to find some oasis, do you?”
“I will not expect rain, nor rivers. But there will be something, may it be an abandoned ship or an Apostle looking for food.”
“… And if you do run into an Apostle?”
Hypatia lets out a smile that the old lady hears without seeing. “Why, I’ll just have to thank the stars for supplying me with some ichor.”
(The relentless journey of the sun, as she chases for dusk.)

Summary
The invitation he sent out last was largely a matter of formality, on Neuvillette’s part. It wouldn’t be reasonable to exclude her from a gathering of close acquaintances, not when they’ve known each other for the longest time; even less so when one considers the matter of his calling, the birth of his existence’s purpose. No matter how things stand between them at present or how she would’ve felt about coming to such an intimate gathering, extending that hand was the bare minimum, a show of rightful respect.
When Furina shows up to the gathering, bottled spring water from the far north in tow, Neuvillette assumes this, too, must be a reciprocation of that respect. “Thank you for inviting me,” is the first thing she says, fashionably late to the function. Handing him her gift, Furina echoes: “A happiest birthday to you, Neuvillette.”
(They dance on the surface with formality and propriety as reasons, burying deep all that is ancient, all that is raw and ugly.)

Summary
In the still waters, the sphere of the fictional moon remains intact. Without even the warning of footsteps, a delicate voice speaks from behind: “Can I ask you something?”
“You already have,” the outsider drawls.
“I suppose I have. In that case, I’ll ask you another question,” she amends, a gentle smile curving her tone. “Do you have a name, Hat Guy?”
The goddess denied and the god that never became, bearing the weight of a name.
