Summary:

Lune is a studious and headstrong researcher, who strives to continue her late parents' work. Verso is a musical prodigy, who tries to carve his own path away from the Dessendre family name. The two meet in a sweet twist of fate, finding connection through music, and an understanding in each other that blossoms into an unlikely romance.

In saving Gustave at the cliff, Verso gets more than he bargained for as the dork named Gustave gets teleported with him to the Crimson Forest. But when mysterious happenings on the canvas start tearing the world apart, Verso and Gustave realize that they must work together if they're going to survive. Despite mutually disturbing visions, the two men brave fields of fearsome Nevrons and other oddities to escape.

Meanwhile, a stoic Lune and a sympathetic Sciel deal with a grieving Maelle as they search for Gustave. Even with the addition of Monoco, Lune remains pessimistic. But when the Disaster Expedition stumbles upon something profound, Lune and Sciel follow the spark of exploration to uncover its mysteries.

Gustave thought it was the end. ‘For those who come after,’ lingered on his lips, cold fear squeezing his stomach in its icy grip as a blinding flash of white seared his eyesight. But when he wakes up, vibrant, ebullient color leaching into his vision, he’s overcome with a wash of safety. Maybe it’s the fact that the white-haired man is no longer in sight, but Gustave feels buoyant, light. A canopy of brilliant red stretches for what seems like miles above him.

Summary:

Lune finds the long scar across his left eye last, the one he received from his father. She’s inclined to believe that out of all of his scars, this one differentiates him the most from his dead counterpart. It’s how he can be himself. Not a facsimile, but truly his own unique person.

Despite all of the lies, deception, and emotional turmoil, Verso’s scars are what make him beautiful to her.
