Hotaru Konno left like a legend but returned in dirt. Either way, she was under the spotlight. Merciless gossip and rumors spread around. Turning 27. Single. Jobless. What a perfect time to take a little advantage of her filthy rich family. She was about to embrace the life of a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training). Life was pretty easy except... Her mom was determined to marry her off; Her idol-wannabe baby sister ticked her off every single day; A mysterious high-school boy with perfect white teeth was living under the same roof. A disappointment. A loser. A weirdo. Hotaru was all of the above. Nonetheless, she said NO to changes. At least not now and not by the people mentioned above.

Easternport used to be a major trading hub for the whole continent. It wasn't a giant city, but it was a prosperous city. But in such a short time, sectarian violence and gang wars turned the city upside-down. Now the gangsters, or the "society members" as they want to be called, are in charge. And all eyes are turned to watch four foolish teenagers challenge the whole city for the right to do whatever the hell they want. I don't think anyone knows what it is that they want. But Steven seems to think that they will give us back our dignity or something. --Chief Officer Howell, Easternport Police Note to self: Request Chief Howell to write another draft. This one is no good. --Steven Buccanan Cover Art brought to you by @TessRebellious @TessRebellious Doing all my visual media because she's lovely and I'm poor and broken and pitiful.

Nora Blake repels ordinary. Adam Clarke is constructed entirely of ordinary. ● ● ● "I don't want to share you with the galaxy, Nora Blake," he says quietly, and all at once, all the stars inside my chest are being flung across the universe at full speed and for that particular moment, I am untethered. Unrooted. Flowing. Floating. Something. He doesn't have to, I think, instantly. I am vaguely aware of the fact that I am a kind of traitor: but there is no heavy stone of betrayal in my chest. The galaxy will wait. It will wait until this beautiful boy flings my fragile heart across the universe at full-speed, but right now, I'm so full of it that I don't even care. Look at that. Nora Blake gives up the galaxy. I look at him, then, and there's so much color oozing out of his perfect, jagged cracks that I feel like I'm in one of Nadia's Leonid Afremov paintings and there's a supernova in my chest. "You don't have to," I tell him, so quietly that I don't think he hears. His delicate rose-pink mouth is curved into a kind of frown and his baby-blue gray-flecked gaze is lost somewhere far, far away from the devoid town of Enfield. I recognize that much, and I wonder momentarily if he has his own galaxy somewhere. I don't want to share him either, I think.
