    Summary

    There was fondness seeping from every line on Macaque's face. His eyes gleamed with incomprehensible love and devotion that had always scared the King on some level, but his traitorous heart fluttered hopelessly under the gaze.

    He swallowed, throat bobbing with the motion, unsure of what to do other than to gently brush his own fingers across the hand on his cheek.

    Macaque pressed his lips on Wukong’s temple. “I would kill for you. I would die for you,” he said, voice worshipful like a prayer.

    Wukong clenched his teeth. “You will,” he said as his voice cracked.

    Summary

    Wukong sees ghosts.

    Often he sees them in his nightmares, with blurred faces and incoherent voices that come in mixtures of agonizing screams or tearful moaning. They come in impossible proportions with hollowed cheeks and pale skin, more of how Sun Wukong last saw them but always more.. off.

    They're not always the same ghosts, but there are some that do come back. He pretends to not recognize them.

    Until a new ghost appears that he cannot ignore.

    Wukong is haunted by Macaque's ghost.

    Summary

    The video goes online four days after the crash.

    “Warning: Pilot Ejection Advised.”

    “Not while we’re still over the city, no- can’t risk this thing blowing up and landing on top of civilians. Maintain cruising altitude, calculate shortest route to minimal population area.”

    “Altitude Locked - Calculating.”

    For a moment, just a split second, Mecha Man visibly hesitates. Then, he switches hands, keeping the flight controls steady while reaching for a panel on the other side of the cockpit. A faint chime sounds, followed by a ringtone. Three repetitions. A voice speaks, too faintly to be heard over the wind, then a louder beep.

    “Hey, buddy,” Mecha Man says, gaze locked onto the viewscreen in front of him, almost directly at the camera recording all of this. “Don’t think I’m going to be able to make it to dinner this weekend after all, sorry."

    Summary

    Macaque thinks that he should be able to die the way he wants, just this once.

    The flowers growing inside of him seem to disagree, as does Wukong.

    Summary

    “Pfft, I know I’m a looker, but you don’t hafta stare that much,” Wukong says, trying to break the tension and divert from the fact that Macaque’s intense scrutiny is making him clammy.

    “Did he lose his ability to speak?” MK wonders.

    Macaque’s ears flicker towards MK’s voice, and as if in response, his mouth opens, eyes still heavy on Wukong. But what comes out are not words. Or rather, not recognizable words—not to this world, not to anyone. Not anyone but Wukong.

    Macaque opens his mouth, and speaks the language of celestial primates.

    “Who are you?”

    Or, to protect Sun Wukong, Macaque dooms himself to live out three turning points of his first life: birth, friendship, and death. When MK and the gang volunteer to look after him, Wukong is forced to grapple with memories thought to be buried, reality-shattering discoveries, and most dangerous of all, a Macaque that likes him. It's a losing battle.
