    Summary

    A bleak look crossed Wriothesley’s face and Neuvillette realized that he was being allowed to see such an expression.

    Summary

    Then, after a few months, he had found the mold slowly creeping into his bathroom. That’s when Hu-Tao’s Swipe and Hype Heroes!!! entered his life.

    Summary

    "He was being ridiculous," said Liu Qingge. "It wasn't like he was ever gone. If he didn't like it, he didn't have to watch."

    Mobei-Jun snarled, "I was here first!"

    "Well, you were a cat."

    Summary

    “Power,” he says dully. Her controller’s plastic clicks continue. She’s slack-jawed, the video game dancing against her face in flashes and shadows. The TV goes bang bang bang.
