Rule #73 of surviving your own destiny - once the fighting stops, your feelings attack. Hi. I'm Kaia. Valkyrie. Professional disaster. This should be the easy part. The Gate is closed, the shadows are safe, and Absentia is finally healing. Instead? I'm trapped in Japti with six overprotective, emotionally unstable idiots who apparently love me and have zero chill about it. Also, I'm exhausted, grieving, and accidentally bonding with people again. Typical. This novella is the aftermath of everything we survived - rest, recovery, truth, and choosing each other without a realm trying to kill us.
