    Summary

    After five years behind bars, Enid Sinclair is done running—from the law, from her bloodline, and from the divine monster sealed inside her chest. Once known as the vigilante Dire-Wolf, she’s been released into the Phoenix Program, a shaky rehabilitation project run by the Superhero Dispatch Network’s Torrance branch. Her cousin, (Mandy) Blonde Blazer, thinks this is Enid’s shot at redemption. The rest of the Z-Team just thinks she’s a liability.

    Across the cubicles and chaos of SDN’s glass-and-fluorescent tower works Wens Valdez (real name Wednesday Addams) the office’s eerily quiet records clerk with a taste for darkness and an after-hours hobby that leaves bodies in alleys. When her hunt for her mother’s killers collides with Enid’s attempt to rebuild her life, the two are pulled into a tangle of divine power, corporate hero politics, and ghosts both living and literal.

    Between malfunctioning dispatch calls, ex-villains on probation, and a god that still whispers from its cage, Enid will have to decide whether she’s the hero her mother died believing in, or the monster the world already thinks she is.

    The Bureau calls it profiling.

    SSA Wednesday Addams calls it pattern recognition.

    Newly transferred Special Agent Enid Sinclair calls it trying not to lose faith in people while working beside someone who seems barely human.

    Summary

    “I- No- I didn’t say that-!” Sana panicked, shaking her head so fast her glasses nearly flew off her face, "It’s not that either, it’s just- I don’t think about it like that, I swear-” 

    “God, you’re really bad at this.” Mina murmured, her smile widening.

    Before Sana could react, Mina stepped closer and reached out, fingers brushing through Sana’s hair in a quick, patronising ruffle, like she was praising a well meaning but hopeless puppy.

    “It’s okay,” Mina cooed, "You don’t have to explain yourself to me.”

    Sana stood there, stunned, face burning, hands still uselessly hovering over her crotch as Mina withdrew.

    Mina slung her purse over her shoulder and turned toward the door, pausing just long enough to glance back and smile.

    “See you around, Sana.”

    Summary

    Im Nayeon has lived her life with her eyes tilted skyward as a child prodigy, the youngest PhD in her department, and a professor whose heart still beats in orbits and light curves. When Korea’s space agency announces an unprecedented all-women mission, the dream she once whispered to her father under the Perseids suddenly lies within reach.

    Provisional acceptance means scrutiny. Health checks, politics, and people who scoff that “astronomy professors aren’t astronauts.” It means shouldering her sister’s neglected children, proving to her family and herself that chasing the sky isn’t a betrayal.

    It means keeping quiet about the impossible chemistry she once felt at a Tokyo conference with Myoui Mina, the engineer whose steady hands and quiet brilliance have haunted her ever since.

    As Nayeon trains, she learns that space is not only about equations and endurance, but also a fragile promise. To her father, to the children who believe in her, and to Mina, whose path is about to intersect with hers in the most dangerous, breathtaking way imaginable.

    An Andromeda-bound story of ambition, love written between data points, and the cost of keeping promises beneath a patient sky.
