    Summary

    Even after switching careers, Nanami can still confidently say he is tired, and nothing but money could make him enjoy any aspect of working. Tiana is also tired and likes money, but she might have a little more motivation to work for something beyond it. Still, neither of them knows when to slow down - but maybe one is a realist and the other is a people pleaser enough to balance things out.

    A taken too seriously story about a gloomy morning almost testing their limits, and then a stranger lifting them back up.

    Summary

    Her family has a real place at the center of the spinning, whirring constellation of it all. Everything Mirabel does is invisible, unspecial. She’s no glittering thing, not at all. No one sees her. No one but him.

    Tío Bruno sighs. “Listen, kid. You don’t need to be your sisters or your cousins. How many times have I told you you could do anything? You put your mind to it, you can be so cool, so authentic, the world will put whatever you want right into the palm of your hand.” He beckons. “Hand?”

    She holds it out. He drops her phone into her open palm. Her other hand flies to her empty pocket. He smiles.

    Summary

    “Do you ever wish you could-” Mirabel licks her lips, mouth suddenly dry. “Sin in a way that it… was okay?”

    She feels Bruno go even more still.

    “Like if we had a way to deal with the temptation.” She plays with her fingers, lacing her fingers prayerlike and breaking them apart, tracing her purity ring with her thumb. “With someone who understood. And knew it was just… to keep from sinning more.”

    “That doesn’t sound like resisting,” he says, voice cautious.

    “I know,” she says. “But I don’t think I can do that anymore.”

    He bows his head for a moment, and the terror strikes her still. But then he raises his head, says, “God, help me,” and the rest of his prayer is lost against her mouth.
