Summary
Illuga is choking on his love for Flins. Literally. As the unshakable Captain, he’s mastered the art of carrying burdens. And yet the Hanahaki flowers rooted in his lungs are a weight he can’t share. To confess would shatter the bond that is his anchor. To stay silent is a death sentence. But when the petals turn to thorned vines, he must choose: Risk the bond they share or Let the unspoken love he nurtured become his hope

Summary
Peace is the cruelest season. The war is over, but Illuga is still at war with himself. Haunted and hollow, Illuga finds a dark logic in an old myth: that some are meant to burn out, not to last. On the edge of the north spire, he is met not by salvation but by devastating truth. And the one man who refuses to let him go.

Summary
They have never spoken about what they are. Not friends. Not lovers. Something in between. Something that exists only in the dark, in the space between midnight and dawn, in the silent moments after when Flins's breathing slows and Illuga pretends to be asleep.
No strings. No labels. No mornings after. For months, this has been enough. Or so they both told themselves.
Illuga thought he was being used. Flins thought he was protecting him.
But the mornings keep coming colder. The silences keep growing heavier. And when Illuga finally breaks beneath the moonlight, Flins gives him an answer he never expected.
(A light that never learned to be held. A keeper who was always too afraid to reach for it.)

Summary
By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
Illuga knows what it means to say goodbye.
With his legs wanting to give up and his lungs screaming, he is now running into the darkness because what's left is a world he won't live in.
Flins is standing on the balcony, dangerously close to the edges when he arrives at the lighthouse. The desk inside is covered in dozens of letters, all of which are farewells.
For years, Illuga has kept words inside his chest. But first, he wants to make Flins understand something just as important.
If Flins disappears, he is taking Illuga with him.
