Summary
Altan was bitten by a radioactive spider. When he learns Eyimchi Shiro is still out there, experimenting and Nikan lets him slip under the radar to maintain the fragile peace accord, he decides to take the matter into his own hands. Meanwhile Chaghan, who is a transfer student, is giving him a hard time about his place as the top student.
Unbeknownst to both of them, one mission gone wrong will turn their worlds upside down and force them to collide as Altan finds himself in Chaghan's dorm one midnight.

Summary
"Okay, fine." Chaghan fell silent for a moment before reaching for and clasping her hand. Her brother was surprisingly sentimental when it came to people he cared about (which were no more than a handful), for someone who was raised to be pretty pragmatic. "Still, I think we will be fine as long as we are together."
"Because we are anchor twins?" Qara jeered. But Chaghan was serious.
"Because it's you and me against the world."
***
Chaghan and Qara are staying in the Ketreyid camp for a few weeks until they reach their eleventh birthday and leave for Nikan. Ketreyid hostility and lots of sibling-moments ensue.

Summary
Chaghan wanted him to see the delirium in his plan. How it would not work. He wanted to shout, scream. Do something to stop Altan from going along with this. But he knew there was no point in fighting with him. If you fought with Altan Trengsin, you were bound to lose. One way or another.
***
After their fight, Chaghan tries one more time to persuade Altan to back down from his hopeless plan. Only to realize, the man he once loved is too far gone.

Summary
“Do you love him?”
Had Victoire asked a question about Seneca’s writings, translations of Cicero’s works or the best equivalent of the Greek word philotimo, Robin could have answered with ease, nearly subconsiously, almost instinctively. But this was the one question he had to think before answering, or worse, the one question that he didn’t know the answer to.
***
Victoire started to think there was something more between Robin and Ramy. Seeing Robin has no intention to act on it, she decides to talk to him about it.
