Summary
Their gazes find each other for a beat. “You serve the finest cocktails in the city, with the most elegant flair and the loveliest intensity in your demeanor. Is that not service enough as a bartender? To expect more is simple greed and a disservice to the skilled artist,” Zhongli ends with a flourish, curve of his subtly-lined lips shining with sincerity.
“You flatter me too much,” Xiao says quietly, hands stilling mid-pour.
“With you, I am only ever honest.” And he means it. Xiao knows this with certainty.
Two meet in the midnight glow of a Hong Kong bar. Xiao is wary, Zhongli is earnest.

Summary
Segment 8 was just another one of Dottore's segments. He was no different from the rest, save for one thing. He was the youngest among them, the last to be made, forever trapped in a child's body with a child's mind.
He would never get the chance to grow older. That never stopped him from learning anyway.
Or, Segment 8's life, from beginning to end.

Summary
Kaveh doesn’t like it when Alhaitham cooks for him. He seems to think that just because he’s living in Alhaitham’s home, Kaveh should be a good guest and do more than his fair share of house chores. Which Alhaitham thinks could be a great deal for the both of them, being a person who’d always hated cleaning his room as a child, but why does Kaveh have to complain about it at the same time? Why can’t Alhaitham just do the house chores if Kaveh is going to complain every time he puts something on the kitchen counter? Does Kaveh feel bad if Alhaitham does housework, or doesn’t he? “You know me,” says Alhaitham slowly, and looks up to see Kaveh tying an apron tight around the small of his waist. Kaveh looks back over his shoulder, as if to check that Alhaitham is watching. “I only do anything if it suits my interests,” says Alhaitham.

Summary
Al-Haitham shrugs, looking at Kaveh like he’s the crazy one. “Why would I prioritize being tired when I do that every night?”
“Prioritize over what?” Kaveh asks, trying to stay as patient as he can.
Al-Haitham blinks. “Mmh,” he hums, then laughs softly to himself, ducking his head down to his chest. It’s a gentle thing — almost delicate. Kaveh hasn’t seen him do that in… a long time. “I think if I start talking, I won’t be able to stop.”
kaveh knows, on some level, that decay is not supposed to last this long
