In Nytheris, magic is inherited and worth is measured in bloodlines. Edelgard Vaelor, a Lunebinder born of a consort, refuses to make herself smaller to fit the space she’s been given. Dimitri Blaeric, heir to a line of Starforged Stellamancers, has always trusted the constellations more than his own heart. Between moonlight and starlight, they begin to find something the heavens never charted.

One day, a shady local laboratory explodes, and the strange chemical smoke gives all of them unpredictable, glitchy superpowers! Chae-ni can teleport, Un-jeong can move things with his mind, Ro-bin gets super strength only when his feelings are hurt, and Gyeong-hun’s hands stick to everything whenever he tells a lie. An evil scientist named Ha Won-do wants to capture them to steal their powers. To make things harder, Chae-ni discovers her own grandmother used to fund the laboratory!

A surprisingly short story about a toxic relationship in which almost nobody gets hurt.
