Summary
Any innocence I might’ve had’s been stained black—midnight black—by all the things I’ve seen.
“Fischl’s Investigations,” I said. I took a long drag of my violet licorice, holding it between my index and middle finger. “If you need a problem solved, you’ve come to the right place.”

Summary
Hu Tao was merely the latest such adoptee. She came from a long line of funeral directors[...] and had become an orphan and Vision user at age eleven. Not long after, Rex Lapis—who had been helping care for her—made the critical error of seeking Cloud Retainer’s advice on dealing with children. By the end of that night, Cloud Retainer had kidnapped Hu Tao from Liyue Harbour and was teaching her the basics of Adeptal arts.

Bookmarker's Notes
A pause, plainer. "It's a strange thing, being followed for what you were born as. You'd know nothing about that."
"No," Nefer says. "I was followed for nothing at all. Had to arrange it myself."

Summary
Madam Faruzan. There is something I would like to show you, if you have an afternoon free. Meet me at the east gate at second bell? I will bring snacks! — N
Faruzan read it twice. She set it on her desk. She looked at her manuscript. She looked at the mechanism, which had, in a development she was choosing to interpret as coincidental rather than symbolic, defeated her again this morning on what she had believed was the final calibration step. She looked at the note again.
She spent two hours not thinking about it during which she accomplished nothing useful and knocked over one of the inkwells.
She was at the east gate at second bell.

Bookmarker's Notes
Faruzan looked down at the cup in her hands. “That was a hundred years ago.”
“Yes,” Nicole gave a soft smile. “It was.”
Which was not the same thing as saying it didn’t matter. Faruzan heard the difference very clearly. She heard it in the specific way she hears something she did not know she had been waiting to hear, which is not with surprise but with a sudden and involuntary sense of recognition, like solving the last step of a proof and finding it comes out right.
Nicole did not try to resolve the weight of it for her, did not offer consolation in the form of reduction, the way most people did, telling her it was long ago as though that erased it, or that she had done so well as though the hundred years had been a performance requiring evaluation. Nicole just acknowledged what was true and then let it be true and sat with her in the light.
Faruzan thought, when was the last time someone did that?
