Summary
”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.
He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”
In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.
Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.

Gustave and Verso meet on a train, but never exchange names. So Verso takes matters into his own hands and publishes several ads into the newspapers, looking for Gustave. Meeting again seems impossible, but fate has other plans for the two. After all, Paris is the city of love, and so love will triumph.

Summary
“Hey,” Verso tilts his head chidingly. “I may not be the creator of this world, but I’m more or less sure that you’re not supposed to be sad here. We even found a list of rules, look,” he waves a crumpled piece of paper. Reads, “‘Feeling whooo allowed only in designated areas. Inside the house whooo is prohibited’! See?”
“I’m not inside the house,” Gustave objects, just to be an ass — he can feel a smile forming on his lips. “And I’m not ‘whooo’. More like, ‘hmmm’.”
“‘Hmmm’. Is that the official term?”
“Yup,” Gustave lowers his head, examining the wrist connections of the prosthesis.
Or: Gustave finds out that “Barbapapa” is not really compatible with intricate mechanisms. Luckily, Verso is there to help.
