    Summary

    All eyes turn to Rudo.

    "Kid," Enjin starts warningly.

    The kid folds like wet cardboard. "It’s just an ankle sprain," he mumbles.

    "Just an ankle sprain?" Gris practically yelps. "Kid! What the hell?"
    — — —

    Rudo tries to hide a sprained ankle. Enjin has had plenty of practice lecturing kids.

    Summary

    “Speaking of rumors,” Riyo said while nibbling on the remaining chicken nugget. She should have gotten more. “There’s talk about someone falling from the sphere again.” The other two raised silent eyebrows and she shrugged at the unasked questions. “Dunno. I believe some traffickers claim they found a Sphereite, alive, apparently.”

    Zanka scoffed. “Sounds pretty fake if you ask me. Probably just want to squeeze money out of people and end up giving them a skeleton they found in No Man’s Land. Who survives a fall from the sky?”

    Riyo shrugged again. “It’s just rumors.”

    Enjin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I like rumors,” he said. “Should probably go check it out.”

    --

    Or: What if Rudo hadn't gotten picked up by Enjin in No Man's Land but was instead captured by the traffickers and the Cleaners rescue him later on.

    Summary

    “I once promised to accompany you on your path to the end,” Yuder said calmly. “And then to share every beginning and ending on the way.”

    “So now I ask you the same.”
    ---
    On the night the Empire alters its laws and bestows its highest honor, Yuder Aile chooses not to wait for what Kishiar La Orr had carefully planned. He kneels first, speaks without flourish, and makes a declaration that leaves no room for retreat, least of all for the man who taught him how to want a future at all.
    ---
    Or, Yuder proposes in public, Kishiar is joyfully outmaneuvered, and history quietly rearranges itself around them.

    Summary

    "Did you hear that, treasure? They are allowed to take you where they please because they have a permit. Isn't that comforting?"

    Chrollo’s crew chuckles. The creature still does not understand but Chrollo is not actually trying to speak to it.

    "For humans, declarations of who is and is not allowed to do as they please are called 'laws'." Chrollo pretends to explain in order to further illustrate his point to the merchant captain.

    "Sea trash."
    ===
    Chrollo is the captain of The Phantom. When he and his crew plunder a merchant ship, they find a merfolk on-board.
