Summary
Two unfamiliar players stood across the net. The taller one was hard to miss. She was taller than the rest of the team, lean and muscular, with a high ponytail of pink hair that somehow looked more dangerous than cute. The girl beside her was shorter, but no less intense. Her hair was braided tightly down her back, and her jersey clung to the kind of arms that made Zoey do a double take.
She smiled and gave a casual wave, trying to be charming. A simple, friendly hello.
They didn’t wave back.
They didn’t do anything, actually, just looked at her. Then a coach called them over, and they turned away without a word.
Zoey blinked, her hand still mid wave. Rude.

Summary
Mira has been going over each little thing for the past week. Meticulously turning them over in her mind, replaying events in her head until she’s sick from remembering. It’s something like a punishment. A constant reminder of all the ways she fucked up; hardly feels like enough atonement after hearing everything that Rumi has gone through her entire life.
Rumi stops being able to sing. Rumi starts completely shutting down, worse than either of them have ever seen. Rumi starts pulling away. There are nights where Mira swears Rumi isn’t in her room, but she can’t prove it. Rumi starts obsessively wearing layers—turtlenecks paired up with jackets and compression shirts underneath all of that. Rumi starts being strangely combative and harsh. Rumi snaps at her in a way that is completely uncharacteristic for her. Rumi won’t sing their song, even with the world caving in around them, as if she wouldn’t mind if the world did end.
Mira hasn’t stopped feeling guilty.
(or, a look into the grief that comes after nearly losing your best friend)

Summary
Rumi leans forward on the couch, her hair falling into her face. “Two weeks,” she murmurs, though she doesn’t sound convinced. “That’s what they’re saying.”
Mira, beside her, doesn’t flinch. Arms folded, her expression calm but sharp, she answers without looking away from the TV. “They’re never honest about the first number. It’ll be longer.”Rumi knows she’s right, but another thought presses louder in her head: Zoey.
Zoey, alone across the city in her too-small apartment, her family stuck thousands of miles away in America. Zoey, with her restless energy and big heart, the one who fills every silence with laughter or questions or that wide, blinding smile. Zoey, who Rumi loves just as surely as the woman sitting at her side.Rumi glances toward Mira, choosing her words carefully. She touches Mira’s thigh, soft and grounding. “Babe… what if Zoey stayed here?”

Summary
They’re still staring at Rumi, who has yet to leave the table that she’s been at for the past ten minutes.
Zoey hums, “I mean, it’s a little weird and a tiny bit freaky, but maybe she’s just—getting more comfortable around us?”
“I don’t know,” Mira says slowly. Her brow furrows in thought. “You should’ve seen the way she looked at me when she was licking the blood off my hand. It was like she was…” Possessed? Out of it? Kinda sexy? Possibly all of the above?
Zoey quietly answers, “I think I know what you mean.”
Or, Rumi’s new, strange behavior doesn’t go unnoticed by Mira and Zoey. Maybe it has something to do with her demon side.
