DESTINED:  The  sender  recognizes  the  receiver  from  a  dream,  a  past  life,  or  a  vision.

there  was  something  unsettling  in  the  woman’s  gaze  …  too  sharp,  too  knowing,  like  she  was  seeing  through  skin  and  sinew  to  something  older.  emilia  didn’t  flinch  under  it,  but  she  felt  it  all  the  same.  that  quiet  pull  in  her  chest.  like  something  long  buried  had  just  opened  its  eyes.

❝  you’re  looking  at  me  like  you’ve  seen  a  ɢʜᴏsᴛ,  ❞ 

DESTINED:  The  Sender  Recognizes  The  Receiver  From  A  Dream,  A  Past  Life,  Or 

she  said  softly,  the  corner  of  her  mouth  lifting,  not  quite  a  smile.  her  voice  was  calm,  but  edged  in  a  subtle  tension,  like  a  wire  pulled  tight. she  stepped  a  little  closer,  the  candlelight  catching  in  her  eyes—brown  and  warm,  but  watchful.  searching.  ❝  or  maybe  just  someone  you  thought  you’d  already  lost.  ❞  a  pause,  and  then,  gently  —curiously  :  ❝  do  i  feel  familiar  to  you?  ❞ she  didn’t  ask  with  disbelief.  she  wasn’t  mocking.  if  anything  …  she  almost  wanted  to  hear  the  answer.  because  deep  in  her  bones,  where  memories  had  no  names  and  time  had  no  shape,  emilia  felt  it  too  — the  echo  of  something  once  lived.  or  dreamed.  or  promised.

Mad, really mad, a stranger to herself and others, oblivious to the world, […] around her neck a necklace of curses and tears.

— Simin Behbahani, A Cup of Sin: Selected Poems, transl by Farzaneh Milani and Kaveh Safa, (1999)

[ standing over a body ] " oops. "

the  silence  in  the  room  was  thick,  clinging  like  smoke  after  a  spell  gone  wrong.  emilia  stood  a  few  feet  away  from  the  body,  arms  crossed,  gaze  fixed  on  the  slowly  spreading  pool  of  blood  with  an  expression  that  wasn’t  quite  surprise.  she’d  seen  worse.  she’d  caused  worse.  but  that  didn’t  mean  she  approved  of  this.  not  by  a  long  shot.

[ Standing Over A Body ] " Oops. "

yelena  stood  nearby,  a  smear  of  something  dark  on  her  cheek,  chin  lifted  like  she  was  daring  the  world  to  flinch  first.  ❝  oops,  ❞  she  said.  emilia  blinked  once.  ❝  oops,  ❞  she  echoed,  voice  flat.  ❝  that’s  what  you’re  going  with?  ❞  she  took  a  few  slow  steps  forward,  her  boots  silent  against  the  tile.  the  scent  of  blood  mixed  with  gunpowder  and  bad  decisions.  she  didn’t  crouch,  didn’t  touch  the  body  —  just  looked  down  at  it  with  the  weariness  of  someone  who  had  cleaned  up  too  many  messes  that  didn’t  need  to  happen  in  the  first  place.  ❝  you  could’ve  walked  away,  ❞  she  said.  ❝  you  could’ve  handled  it  with  a  threat,  or  a  promise,  or  even  just  silence.  instead  …  ❞  she  gestured  loosely  to  the  body  with  one  hand.  ❝  now  there’s  a  corpse  in  the  hallway  and  we  both  get  to  deal  with  the  fallout.  ❞ yelena  didn’t  say  anything.  she  didn’t  have  to.  emilia  could  read  her  like  a  spellbook  left  out  in  the  rain  —  a  little  warped,  but  still  legible. she  sighed  and  pinched  the  bridge  of  her  nose,  more  tired  than  angry.  ❝  i  know  what  it’s  like  to  be  angry.  i  know  what  it  feels  like  when  the  world  treats  you  like  a  mistake.  but  if  you  let  that  anger  decide  for  you,  you’re  just  doing  their  work  for  them.  ❞  her  voice  softened,  but  the  edge  remained.  ❝  you  want  a  place  at  the  table?  fine.  but  you  don’t  get  there  by  being  reckless.  you  get  there  by  surviving.  ❞  emilia  looked  at  her,  really  looked  at  her  —  at  the  hard  line  of  her  jaw,  the  heat  behind  her  eyes,  the  tension  in  her  hands.  ❝  you’re  not  stupid,  yelena.  sᴏ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴀᴄᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ɪᴛ.  ❞ then,  after  a  beat,  she  turned  toward  the  door.  ❝  come  on,  ❞  she  said  over  her  shoulder.  ❝  we  need  to  move  the  body  before  someone  sees.  and  next  time?  try  not  to  make  me  regret  standing  beside  you.  ❞
