Summary
He’s reduced to a blind, slithering crawl, the freezing cold earth burning his raw, numb fingers as he drags himself off of the road. Clawing lamely at the ground to push himself forwards, he lets out a wet, sputtering cough, fine droplets of crimson blood spattering against the pale floor.
Every bone in his body is filled with ache; he’s painfully, acutely aware of his own skin as it drapes across him, terribly cognisant of the emptiness ebbing and flowing within him. It whispers to him, but through the fog of his mind he cannot parse out the words.
“Father,” he cries, his voice small and scratchy, his tongue hot and clumsy between his teeth. “Where are you?”
(Or: violently shunted 500 years into the future and now trapped in limbo between two worlds, Kaeya Alberich lives only to make a choice.)

Summary
When Roman and Shiv were two, and Kendall was five on the heels of six, Logan bought them a family dog.
During the summer after the twins’ fourth birthday--while they were visiting their mother in England--it broke its leg jumping out of a truck. Their father had it put down the next day, and relayed the news to them via phone call three days after that.
(Sometimes, Roman wonders if his father wishes it were him staring down the barrel of that shotgun, if he wishes he could pull that same trigger on his own son.)

Summary
This house is her father’s last act of revenge, it seems, for his last will and testament lays somewhere within these walls, collecting dust on a bookshelf or perhaps locked away within a drawer. It seems fitting that his final cruelty will be a walk down memory lane, every reminder of her childhood unearthed like a corpse from a tomb.
(On the eve of her father’s execution, Franziska von Karma revisits her childhood home.)

Summary
He’s ten years old, sitting at the Von Karma table, idly pushing the food on his plate back and forth. He hasn’t eaten in probably two or three days, his appetite swallowed in the wake of the anniversary of his father’s death.
“Tonight,” Von Karma begins, clearing off his own plate and dabbing at the corners of his mouth with his napkin, “I have decided that we shall host another mock trial.”
Manfred drops a stack of files onto the table, spreading them out in front of him. Miles’ stomach lurches to his shoes, a pooling dread taking its place.
The cover in front of him reads: DL-6, documents 1-18.
(Or: December 28th, across the years.)
