The new style of Dark Mode completely wrecks inline spoilers: It looks like this on light mode (the default text underneath is also near unreadable since the hover-colour is a blue that blends in with the black text.)

The seconds passed after Feron made his leap, and at first, none of them seemed to realise what was happening. Then, a sudden click went off in Yuzuki’s mind. Even on the off-chance that there wasn’t anything dangerous waiting for them on the other side, a fall from that height could… she...

Watching everyone else’s attempts, it was obvious that it would be impossible for her to climb the wall. After all, if not even Lancaster, the least physically injured of them couldn’t make it, what chance did she have? She flinched a little when he got slammed on the ground, and started to open...

Yuzuki watched him the whole time. She watched his expressions, his movements; they all registered a second before his words. At every word he spoke, more and more hesitation and tension crawled up her body until she tilted her head away again, eyes wide and wobbly. “It wasn’t right” “I’m...

Yuzuki shrank away and took several steps back when Dreyer glowered down at her, and jumped more as Honda’s yells echoed in the cave. How could he think they were having fun? She certainly wasn’t! With every passing second, this place was falling lower and lower on the list of places she wanted...

Yuzuki thanked Feron for his help as the approached the greenhouse. She was only sort of able to pay attention to what the lion-man was saying to Honda, exhaustion setting in again where adrenaline was fading. The rain and the red-strings were dangerous; that was the gist of what was able to...

As they approached the Greenhouse entrance, Don León would once again calmly attend to Kenzo’s questions, turning his head as they walked together. “Well, to begin with, you shall see the truth of the Greenhouse soon enough, better to learn by your own sight and actions, if I may say so. But...

When the shadow fell over her, Yuzuki froze. Already halfway mumbling an apology, when she glanced up and heard the voice of just who it was standing over her, her still tearful face curled in revulsion. She recoiled and tried to push herself up, preferring to keep using her sleeves to wipe her...

A scant few others managed to join them. And among those who did were another injured man and a woman whose escape looked to be more narrow than the breadth of a whisker. But another man was already aiding her. Not noticing the man’s initial hesitation, Don León glowed with renewed hope and...

Finally, Yuzuki made it staggering towards the exit, dragging in as much air as she could. She had to lean against the walls as she took the final steps out of the sewers, wobbling like a newborn foal and looking like a drowned rat, despite her narrow escape from the flood. Everything else...

Don León smiled as Kenzo headed his advice and climbed into the chair, and he waited patiently for Kenzo to put his thoughts and words in order. This also allowed Don León his time to get his own. But more and more as Kenzo spoke, Don León’s brow furrowed, and his ears and tail twitched at a...

Far, far off in the distance, the more astute of the captives might overhear a new, unusual sound. Perhaps it was not dissimilar to what they’d heard before, when their cages shattered. The remote noise didn’t seem to come any closer, at first, until suddenly, from all through the sewers came...

Don León swept out of Kenzo’s way, allowing him further space into the room. When Kenzo elected to choose the floor as his resting place, Don León’s ears turned and his whiskers twitched, but he did not speak immediately. First, he walked over to one of the desks, and grabbed one of the...

Kaida and Erasmus’s efforts to escape were admirable. They darted past the Shadow and into the corridors of the sewers. The Shadow, to its credit, gave chase, but the enclosed space slightly hindered its wings and attempts at flight. However, it soon held back the chase, pawing nervously at...

Woe upon woes, and tragedies upon tragedies, that Kenzo’s light at the end of the tunnel did not lead him into heaven, or even so much as out of the hell of the sewers. Instead, he’d found himself in another room, brightly lit, and containing several of those familiar tubes, empty, to be clear...

The glass tubes shattered, spilling their contents onto the stone floor. Yuzuki stirred and blinked the fluid from her eyes. The stone room slowly came and went into focus. Her drenched, shivering form curled up, fighting to keep what little warmth it had. Eventually, she pushed herself up...

LOCATION: ASHI; PIERCE'S FAMILY MANSION There were only so many ways to say it, but damn, was this place fancy. This was more wealth and opulence than either of them could ever dream of. Manami at least kept her aspirations to ‘comfortably middle-class’. This was ridiculous. Just what sort...

LOCATION: ASHI; PIERCE'S FAMILY MANSION Even between the two of them, there was some food left over when they arrived at their destination. It was a shame to waste it, but it wasn’t like they could take it with them. They stepped out from the train and were immediately taken aback by the...

LOCATION: ASHI; VERY FANCY TRAIN The two of them stopped immediately upon entering the train cabin. The whole thing looked like the first class section of an airplane, or what the two of them assumed First Class looked like, neither of them having ever been on a plane to begin with. With the...
