Summary
Wen Qing relaxes minutely, scrutinizing him. “Then,” she asks, “why are you here, Lan-er-gongzi?”
He thinks of seven children, living here, surrounded by ghosts, fathered — fathered? — by the one who harnesses resentment to command the dead. Children he has named, inexplicably, Lan. Wen Qionglin is a fierce corpse, and yet he apparently talks and thinks and makes his own decisions. The children call him jiujiu. The children climb on his lap and ignore his instructions and say things like “he’s dead” with a careless lilt in their voices.
Whatever the Yiling Patriarch is doing, whatever Wei Wuxian wants, Lan Wangji does not think it is an act of war.
So he does not say, “I am here to neutralize the Yiling Patriarch.”
He does not say, “Sentiment is gathering against you.”
He does not say, “First liberate, second suppress, third eliminate.”
Lying is forbidden, so Lan Wangji bows his head and says something true: “The Lan sect has very recently learned of seven disciples living in Yiling. I have come to attend their education.”

Summary
Steve had glanced up at the sound of the bell, and Tommy locks eyes with him when he turns in his direction, too late to pretend he hadn’t seen him come in. Since he can’t spot the waitress anywhere, he saunters up to Steve’s table, hands jammed in his pockets with a smirk as Steve watches him approach.
“Well well, look who it is,” Tommy drawls, pulling his hands out of his pockets to cross his arms against his chest. He grins. “King Steve, in the flesh. What are the odds?”

Summary
“Wait, wait, wait. You, Erica Sinclair”—Steve brandished his spoon at her, flinging flecks of ice cream spit onto the counter, before flipping it back on himself—“want me to help Eddie Munson get some game?”
“You know, Lucas said it took you a while to get with the program, but this is embarrassing.”

Summary
The first time Eddie says it, it’s after he’s been on a ventilator for two weeks. The first time Eddie could have said anything and Dustin would have been over the moon. Eddie talking means Eddie is healing; Eddie is alive. The first time is fueled by exhaustion, and hope, and so many painkillers, and grief deferred. The first time is a gimme.
The first time doesn’t count. But then Eddie says it again. And again. And then Eddie doesn’t stop saying it.
Or: The world is safe. Eddie and Steve get close. Dustin adjusts.
