Summary
The rebels find Ivan, as young as he was during round 6, in a forgotten storage unit and bring him home.
But to Ivan, it’s not so much a home but rather just another means of survival, despite how good it seems with an older and much more affectionate Till acting otherwise.
Because while Till had a whole 7 years to come to terms with his trauma, Ivan is still 22 years old, lost and scared as he always was.
Or
Ivan learns what ‘family’ means with some hiccups along the way.

Summary
It’s the eyes that drive him craziest. The matching habits, mirrored expressions, the same soft hearts, and twin sets of righteous fury— they are enough on their own, enough to make Isaac dizzy. But it’s the eyes that make him sick to his stomach. Isaac knows that they aren’t the same color. Hyuna’s eyes had been soft blue, the color of a cloudless, bright sky. Tills have drops of green muddying that blue, creating something a little more like the seawater. But in the wrong lighting, the colors blur, and all Isaac can see are sharp eyes glimmering, and he forgets who he’s looking at.

Summary
All of me, huh? Could he do that? He'd done so much in secret for so long, it felt terrifying to drag it all into the light. But for Till? For himself and the chance that this time, maybe, they could be different?
"Yeah."
And then Till looked over his shoulder, caught Ivan's gaze and held it. "Thank you. I know I'm really late in saying it. But I'm also really, really happy that I still have the chance to say it at all."
Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.
And neither knew that the other survived.
Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.

Summary
—¿Crees que nos la podemos quedar?
Cuando vuelve a mirar, ve a Iván todavía más encorvado. Till nunca lo ha visto poner esa postura, se ve… diminuto, asustado.
—No lo sé —dice, con nada de seguridad—. Pero es lo que quiero. Que podamos conservarla. Deberíamos poder hacerlo, ¿no?
Ahora es él quien necesita una respuesta. Pero Iván se ríe primero, una cosa ronca y baja.
—Por supuesto. Deberíamos poder conservarla.
Por alguna razón suena sarcástico. Pero Till no quiere ahondar. No tiene ganas de pelear.

Summary
Runa and Ivan are touching lips, Runa cupping the back of Ivan’s neck while running her fingers through his hair with her eyes closed. Ivan’s hand is holding her chin, keeping her mouth pressed against his.
Till shudders, an uncomfortably hot feeling blooming in his chest. His face reddens, and suddenly he feels tears pricking at his eyes. He’s not sure why, but he’s upset. He thinks back to when Ivan once asked him if they could touch lips, remembering that Ivan had actually referenced that empty promise a few days ago with Mizi. Till tries wiping his tears from his face with the back of his sleeve, planning on glancing up at the pair one last time before he leaves for good.
Only, when he looks up, he catches Ivan’s red-pupiled gaze.
A girl in Anakt Garden asks Ivan to be part of an exclusive pair. Ivan doesn't refuse.
