    Summary

    “Tell me, Nesting Guide,” the mothling says, rocking back and forth on a chair that is standing a little too close to the counter, “Who’s that in the painting that you keep staring at when you think you’re alone?”

    Nesting Guide turns to look at the picture hanging above their working table. Their gaze lingers on it for some time, and they let out a quiet sigh. The carpenter isn’t even sure if it still makes sense to have the painting here in the workshop, after all this time, but they think they’ll never bring themself to take it away. For some reason, be it sentimentality or something else, they can’t.

    Summary

    When she rounds the corner, she stumbles to a stop, gasping for air, for comprehension. “Mi—Mizuki?” she asks weakly.

    Because it’s her. Mizuki is there, crouched with her back to the wall. And when she looks up, Ena flinches.

    There’s blood leaking from the corner of her eyes, which remain closed. Mizuki isn’t looking directly at her—only toward the sound of her voice. “E-Ena?” she whispers, voice small and shaky.

    Or: A week after Ena’s confrontation with Mizuki at the cultural festival, Mizuki goes missing in the sekai. And something is deeply wrong when they find her.

    Summary

    “Then… What is bothering you?”

    Rosa gazed away sheepishly, her eyes not daring to meet Morgana’s. The other witch came to her side, and intertwined their fingers.

    Rosa couldn’t help the soft pink that dusted her pale cheeks at the innocent gesture.

    She sighed. There was no hiding it. Morgana wouldn’t stop until she found out, anyway.

    ----

    Rosa feels like she's mooching off of Morgana emotionally, and physically. Morgana doesn't think so.
