Summary
So why, in Thanatos' name, is the same person awaiting Phainon's service a second time in a row? By the laws of Amphoreus, no such thing should be possible.
It must be a coincidence, Phainon thinks, for there is no way it could be the same man. No one dies twice.
In which Phainon is a psychopomp, and Mydei is a soul that keeps coming back.

Summary
When Phainon takes on the task to retrieve a valuable antique from a brothel by posing as a serving boy, the last thing he expects is to end up here: a dim room, heavy with the scent of oil and smoke, facing three Kremnoan warriors. Scarred faces turn toward him, their sharp, predatory eyes weighing his presence.
And then he sees him.
Mydei.
Mydei reclines with calculated ease, shadows cutting across the familiar sharpness of his jaw and the quiet authority in his gaze. Phainon falters, his breath hitching as recognition sparks between them.
With everything riding on his disguise, Phainon stamps down the urge for confrontation and lowers his head. “Welcome, h-honored guests. How may I serve you?”
Phainon infiltrates a brothel disguised as a serving boy for a self-imposed mission. As luck would have it, one of his clients just had to be Mydei.
Their unplanned encounter turns out to be far more rewarding than Phainon expected.

Summary
Diluc strode back across the room and let himself fall on one of the chairs across from Kaeya, the sound of his movements making Kaeya turn enough to look at him.
His glass, Diluc noted, was completely empty now.
Kaeya sighed. “Why are you here, Diluc?”
Again, a question Diluc had no answer to.
So he gave the closest to the truth he could muster, reaching for the bottle of Death by Noon. “I’m here to drink.”
Four years ago, one death pulled them apart. Maybe it's not so far-fetched to believe another death would pull them just a little bit closer.
