Summary
“Yeah, I can imagine,” Mira says. She leans back a little on her hands, looking down the bridge of her beautiful nose at them regally. “Do you get to put that idiot in his place, at least?”
Rumi’s grin is all fangs. “Yep. It’s truly a wonder what a bite to the scruff does to an alpha.”
Citrus smacks into their noses like a bird into a clear glass window, abrupt and disorienting. “Sorry, sorry,” Zoey squeaks in between them, looking very much like she wants to disappear into the log beneath her. “I’m really trying, I promise, but you guys are really attractive and I am just a girl.”

*Where is Rumi sitting?*
*They’re so close omg*
*Is Mira on the armrest or…*
*WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE—*
*LAP. LAP CONFIRMED.*
*Rumi blink twice if safe*“Oh?” Mira tipped her head, all innocence distilling into one syllable. “Tell them, Rumi.”
Rumi turned, scandalized. “Tell—what?” She could *feel* embarrassment slicking across her skin, buzzing under it. If leaving this couch wouldn’t cause a scandal, she’d have bolted.
“Where you’re sitting,” Mira said, deadpan as a newscaster

Summary
Her boot catches the edge of a tile—barely a slip, just a half step too short—and she stumbles.
And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.
“You lost your balance.”
Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.
“Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”
The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.
Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.
OR
basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond. but ofc Rumi has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused Rumi with a guise for improvement. (it's giving mother gothel)
The memories that haunt Rumi cause her to pull away, and the girls try to figure out why (and they succeed in a devastating way).*Zoey and Mira follow Rumi to Celine’s after the idol awards reveal (ch6)*

Summary
It was ridiculous, seeing it in this environment, something soft and plush in a place that served expensive wine, but Mira had chosen it deliberately. Because Rumi loved teddy bears in a way she tried to pretend she didn’t, because Mira had seen the way Rumi’s fingers found the keychain in her bag when she was anxious, because Mira had stitched the first bear back together years ago and had never stopped thinking about what it meant.

Or some of the Teddy Bears Mira gifted Rumi, and the one Rumi gifted Mira.
