What Is It About Other People That You Actually Hate?

Gadiel

The sun had completely set, and Gadiel sat, hunched over Tarik's desk with the light on. Behind him on the bed, Medina snored gently.

The book he was reading was about the story of the Sun and the Moon, about the trials they faced together and how they overcame them. Gadiel figured that since they chosen to be the Vestiges of the Sun and Moon, maybe Ai was also some sort of Vestige, and he could find out more about her by reading this book.

Instead, he seemed to be learning more about Tarik.

For example, Tarik had a habit of underlining and circling certain sentences and passages in the books he read. At first, Gadiel found it incredibly annoying.

Then he started to notice which lines were being pointed out.

Mostly, they were lines that expressed what the Sun thought of the Moon, and how his opinion of the Moon had slowly changed over time.
