Summary
Rumi was three.
Celine’s fingers were soft against her scalp as she worked out the parts of her braid. Rumi was on her knees, humming the melody of one of the Sunlight Sisters’ songs while Celine was sitting behind her.
“Your mother loved braiding her hair. She said it made her look pretty.”
Rumi could hear the sorrow, the longing in her voice. She turned her head around, small sparkly eyes boring into glassy ones.
“Do you think mommy would have liked me with a braid?”
At that, Celine’s eyes softened, tears threatening to spill. She softly brushed Rumi’s cheek, tucking a strand of hair that had caught on her eyelashes behind her ear in the process.
“Yes. I think she would have.”
Ever since then, the dark haired woman had been the one cutting, styling and maintaining Rumi’s hair, until she was old enough to do it herself. With time, as her patterns grew along with her, Celine had been a lot more reluctant to touch her, but she had never stopped taking care of her long locks for her, sometimes coming to the tower at Rumi’s request solely for a hair cut.

Summary
Rumi shrugs. “It’s just… one of those days, I guess.”
She doesn’t say which kind, but she knows they’ve both had them. It’s the kind where the weight of being left out isn’t in anyone else’s actions, only in the gap she doesn’t know how to cross. Where the warmth of the room makes her ache because she can’t quite find a way to let it in.
Rumi always thought her patterns would fade once the Honmoon was sealed, but they didn’t. And now they seem to respond to her emotions.

Summary
Zoey and Mira have always been Rumi’s cosmic complements: the higher and lower harmonies that form a perfect triad with her every time they’re in sync. The warmest chord she’s ever heard—intended, euphonious, side by side by side. Inyeon.
Jinu wasn’t like that. He… he was her, just mirrored back. Her dark reflection, an octave down.
The first person she’d ever met in her life who’d rhymed.
[or: after Namsan Tower, Rumi must contend with who she is, who she wants to be, how she communicates, what the girls mean to her, and what Jinu means to her, too... especially considering how she might have eaten his soul, and all.]

Summary
“Well, who are you here with, then?”
And this part is fun. Vi can't help that it feels good, in a petty way, flexing her status like this. She worries sometimes about the ways she's changed since crawling her way out of Zaun but this, the kick she gets out of turning the tables on rich upper city assholes, is in her blood. She twists in her seat, leaning one elbow back against the bar and, yep, there's Caitlyn absently nodding along to what the guy she's talking to is saying as she continues her lunatic vigil. She looks a bit startled to have been caught staring, but doesn't drop her gaze, only shifts on her feet across the room. Tuned in. Ready.
It’s rude to point, Caitlyn has scolded her dozens of times since Vi’s entry into Piltie society. So of course Vi takes particular pleasure in doing it now anyway, aiming her finger at Caitlyn through the crowd. “Her.”

Caitlyn's got a jealous streak as wide as the River Pilt and twice as deep.
Vi doesn't really mind.
