    Summary

    The fracturing of the fabric of society has already begun.

    Shinobu always surprises him. She instantly read what had happened in his face. Is it obvious? Have the patterns begun dotting his face? He feels it in his legs first, his feet. They burn and blister; he feels the pustules there, beneath his skin. Still, knowing all this, she kneels next to him.

    “Oh, Giyuu,” she says. Her eyes widen. The purple in her irises—such pretty irises; the last thing he wants to see before he dies—softens. She knows what she has to do.

    *

    While on a mission, Giyuu's turned into a demon.

    Summary

    The lack of honorifics sends a thrill through her spine. Who is this man, and why does he behave this way, eyes so cold examining her skin, her mind, her soul? Does he think he’s close enough to her to treat her like this? Or does he care so little it doesn’t matter? And is that admiration in his voice or is he just matter-of-fact as always; is there nothing beneath his hard-shelled exterior, nothing viscous and soft she could plunge her hand in if she cracked him?

    He walks away, leaving her dazed, frying in the burning sun.

    As these things go, they get snowed in.

    Summary

    “Giyu-san, could you untie it for me?” she asked, the tips of her ears burning, her voice barely audible.

    Summary

    “We must go help them,” he says.

    “Of course,” Shinobu says, sickly sweet. He never says much; sometimes she feels she has nothing to go on when it comes to him. Sometimes she wonders why she even likes him, is almost supernaturally compelled to sit closest to him whenever they do not have a preordained order. To sit farthest from him sometimes, because she thinks she can’t resist touching him, reaching a hand out, tactile as she is. Sometimes she wonders why she spends every free waking moment she has, of which there are precious few these days, with him. Often she wonders why he lets her. But he intrigues her so much, so she keeps pushing.
