Summary
Columbina tilts her head. “Has it had any physical effects? Please indulge my lack of sight.”
Illuga frowns. “I don’t have any scars from the Hunter now, if that’s what you mean,” he says. “It’s as if I’d never been attacked in the first place.”
Aether’s hand hesitantly lands on Illuga’s shoulder. “I didn’t want to stress you out more until we could talk to Columbina, but now that we’re here, you should probably look at your reflection,” he says quietly, carefully.
His body stiffens in an instant, and that feeling of wrong, wrong, wrong hits him again full force. He steps out from under Aether’s touch and staggers on autopilot toward the closest pool of water. Illuga crouches down at the edge, pushing his fingers into his hair for some sort of grounding as he leans forward, lantern knocking against his thigh. He catches sight of his reflection, and his world tilts on its axis.
--
Illuga comes back from the dead more than human. All he can think about as he gets used to his new not fae, not human normal is Flins—and maybe how much his newfound state and Flins' habits have in common.

Summary
"'Flins'?" Flins asked, his tone mildly surprised but courteous. "I am seldom called as such. Why, my good sir, do I perhaps know you? If I do, please forgive me for I cannot remember."
"Hang on a second." Illuga grabbed the edge of Flins' coat. "If Flins is not the name you're used to, what do they call you?"
"Ah. My apologies." Flins took his hat and bowed, his grace and elegance untouched by the howling snow. He took Illuga's fingers and pressed them to his lips—much like the first time they met. "Allow me to introduce myself, my good sir. Around these parts, I am called Kyryll, the Azure Flame."

Summary
Illuga has two modes: working until he collapses, and feeling guilty about not working enough to collapse. He’s spent a lot of years perfecting those and running from his demons. He was gonna do that until the day he died and everything was gonna be fine. Really.
Until the gods threw a wrench into his plans.
Now, he needs a few new modes: resting (nightmarish), being taken care of (actual hell), and maybe not running from himself (absolutely unacceptable).
Flins thinks this will be good for him. Illuga thinks Flins is lucky he’s cute, because this is all his damn fault.

Summary
When Flins and the Traveler face off against the phantom Rerir at Starsand Shoal with the intention to stop him from regaining his true form, Rerir reveals a devastating repercussion from the way Flins has been keeping a fragment of Rerir's heart in his lantern: through the resonation of the Abyss, and the close proximity to Flins' true form, he has come to see what lies in Flins' heart.
And since Flins has taken his heart, he's now going to take Flins' in revenge.
There’s only one place Rerir is going. There’s only one, exact thing that Flins’ heart could lead Rerir directly to.
Illuga.
