    Summary

    Olruggio knew, long before it all came crashing down, that he’d made a terrible decision. That the consequences would catch up to him, and there’d be no avoiding a series of potentially world-ending conversations.

    He just hadn’t expected it to happen quite so spectacularly.

    The initial idea, prompted by a suggestion from an older noblewoman who’d commissioned him for something completely different, wasn’t bad at all. He’d been working on a set of singing stones, and the lady had made an offhanded comment about the potential of magic that could make an object resonate. She’d meant it as a joke, but where she saw humor, Olruggio saw potential—and told her as much.

    And just like that, he’d had a commission. And a problem.

    Summary

    Beside him, Olruggio pulled his scarf higher over his face. It didn’t quite hide the blush that had bloomed across his face at the implication. Qifrey glanced sideways at him, amused.

    “My, Olly,” He spoke lightly, lowering his voice just enough that only Olruggio could hear him, “you look as though you’ve been proposed to.”

    Olruggio shot him a glare entirely lacking real heat before bumping his shoulder roughly against Qifrey’s.

    “Keep walkin’.”

    Qifrey’s laughter disappeared into his scarf. As they trudged along, Qifrey’s attention drifted elsewhere. His gaze had settled on the village ahead. He remembered this place well. Years ago, he and Olruggio had once been assigned a mission here together. But the tree… he didn’t remember it being so large. Qifrey’s brows knit together. Orla said that the elders here knew and remembered the voice and that it was that of a witch from seventy years ago… No ordinary preservation spell should have remained active for that long. Who could have activated a spell?

    A strange unease curled beneath his ribs.

    Summary

    “Dear kind soul, would you like to save your friend from damnation?” An unfamiliar voice called out as Olruggio felt a pair of hands were placed onto his shoulders.

    Maybe stars in the sky don’t shine bright for too long, after all. Soon enough, a new celestial embodiment will be born. However, this time, there would be no guiding light, no hope that will push aside all the sorrows.

    As a consequence of not being able to keep his star within his sight, Qifrey may have let his most beloved one wander astray. They had injected him with their filth, stripping away his star’s purity.

    Or, when in search for a way to save Qifrey at the Tower of Tomes, the star that once shined so brightly now has its light dimmed as a consequence for wandering astray. Now, the both of them have to live in lies, striving to 'protect' one another.

    (Again, there are spoilers up to chapter 93 of the manga.)
