Summary
“In the wilds beyond they speak your name with reverence and regret,
For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met,
Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed,
A world you gave to bug and beast as they had never dreamed.” —From Elegy for Hallownest by Monomon the Teacher.Ghost was tired. Tired from running away from that wretched place. The place where their siblings were tossed into the Abyss for not being ‘pure’.
The truth is, not a single one of them were ‘pure’, as they all had minds and wills.
But the Pale King wanted a vessel that had ‘No voice to cry suffering’.
And so, Ghost left Hallownest after falling. Their twin, a vessel with horns that ended at a point, had watched as they struggled to keep their grip on the cold metal of the overhang.
Ghost supposed that if their twin had helped them up, they would’ve been killed by the bug that they both called father.
Outside of Hallownest, Ghost sat on a bench, pulled out a ragged quill and beat-up journal, and began to write.

Summary
Ratio tapped the pick-up option on the screen and put Aventurine on speaker.
“Aventurine, you’re on-”
“Hey, babe,” Aventurine’s voice echoed around the board room, bouncing off every surface possible, resounding much too loudly in everyone’s ears, “Just checking, you’re still coming over tonight, right?”
Everyone went dead silent.
◇─◇──◇─◇
Ratio puts Aventurine on speaker during a meeting with the IPC. In hindsight, he should have warned him first.

Summary
"Old friendships became scattered to the winds, and enemies were either captured or dead. Only memories remain. Fallen generals don't have to endure such torment, but those who survive have to go through it all, no matter how great a vision one has dreamed of and no matter how many overwhelming enemies one has defeated, time will always reduce one's strength little by little yet cruelly spares one's life, leaving one cowering in a corner and hating one's own powerlessness.
Only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time."
But there is only so much he can stand. There is only so much the general can do.
He is but a man. Who had weathered through heartbreaks and tragedy and death. He is not invulnerable. He is stronger than most, he is after all, the only one who was left. But even the cliffside must yield to the sea. And Jing Yuan had finally yielded to time.
