Summary
There was only one person who could cook such a delicious meal. The very same only person who could enter and exit his home undetected when he refused to open it for anyone—because he had personally handed over the spare key.
Mydei.
The man who would spite him with terrible food when his jokes grew as stale as the bread he must have left uncovered just for him, or his methods in their latest spar was as slimy as the fish gutted but raw and unscaled. Who could now recall the whole truth but still prepared such a thing with care for the person responsible for his every death.
Amphoreus has become a real planet forged from the memories accumulated over millions of years.
Every citizen is bestowed all the memories that are rightfully their own, so there’s no escaping the actions Phainon took to prolong the cycles until a true hero could arrive with the new dawn.
But when Phainon is unable to see his own worth and face the tomorrow everyone had longed for, there are plenty of people at his side willing to help open his eyes to the truth.

Summary
“Just give me… some time and—and I can… change back. You don’t have to…”
Nothing more escaped him. Even that was too much for Phainon, lips pressed into a thin line mired with regret that he had spoken at all.
“I don’t have to what?”
Phainon didn’t answer.
“I don’t have to what, Phainon?” Mydei demanded, sharp and rough, but that was always when Phainon met him head on.
The truth spilled out in a cracked whisper. “Try and love me. When I—when I’m like this.”
Amphoreus’ first solar eclipse was meant to be a time for celebration. But the sight of daylight devoured by darkness dredges Phainon’s old memories and transformations with them in a frenzied haze.
Mydei proves to Phainon that his appearances, and the past entangled within them, has never mattered to him.

Summary
“Khaslana,” Mydei responds, his voice hesitant as his finger finally dips down to press over the injury Khaslana had previously been hiding.
Over the startling crack in his skin.
Oh.
Khaslana’s eyes widen, his arm shooting out to grip Mydei’s wrist. Mydei offers no protest, simply staring, frozen in shock.
“You’re…breaking,” Mydei mutters, so quietly.
Khaslana screws his eyes shut.
“You weren’t supposed to see.”
Or: Khaslana trudges through millions of cycles, stealing Coreflames and losing himself all while he clings to the memories from his original Flame-Chase Journey, and of his original Mydeimos.

Summary
‘You should be more gentle with me, Mydei,’ Phainon complains. ‘I’m sick, you know.’
I’ll show you gentle, Mydei thinks to himself. And then, more grimly, if only you’d let me.
In which; Phainon falls ill, and Mydei frets.
