um! its part of a general au where everything that happens in limbus gets pushed back a year except some of the sinners still meet up. its generally just my excuse to have a bunch of pairups i never see/and or like isolated from the other sinners

rodya and heathcliff straight off the consequences of their impulses and emotional decisions and self loathing team up in a series of freelance work and get rich quick schemes to try and make something of themselves

ryoshu kills a higher up in n corp on a mission and meursault fresh off [the events of canto 10] helps her cover up the murder and just kind of ends up in her contacts list as someone who can work on short notice and wont compromise anything about the arayashiki project. she gets her kills he gets his thrills

during a grandmother grandson outing to witness some of the purges up close hong lu just kind of. finds yi sang all dirty and despondent and in withdrawal wandering around n corp and brings him back to hongyuan. jia mu is fine with it baoyu gets a playmate and the xianren get a special experience (personal up close first aisle seats to seeing a man struggle to hold onto his grip of life like a sick bird until he kills himself) (unless?)

just kind of adrift and aloft since kromer killed his family sinclair leaves calw and just Goes Back To School still in shock and kind of dealing with ptsd and all that. coincidentally is ishmael, also kind of in shock of her crew and lover all dying and deciding that after such a shipwreck her best option might be to go back and get a degree or a fixer licence and start her life over again in the same area. just kind of normalcy after disaster. until the rage consumes the both of them of course.

they're created from humans by a Mother, who commands them all and whose emotions they can sense through their connection

they see each other as family

they arguably have a similar hunger, which leads them to rampage through the streets slaughtering everything

they obey some rules (no entering residences) and seem to have a strong fear of breaking those rules (as seen in their announcer)

also, traditional vampires are unable to enter homes without permission

similarly, they only come out at night

their fuel is the same liquid that they're made of

since they bring outskirts children to their Mother, it's clear that they have some urge to propagate, whether it comes from her or it's inherent in all of them

their weapons have the same appearance as hardblood weapons (look at barber outis's scissors next to sweeper blades. they look almost exactly the same), implying that they have some control over the liquid that they're made of and can shape it into weapons

they also inflict bleed and heal by consuming dead bodies

and most compellingly,
