This is absolutely whump all around. All 3 girls are in the blender and it is on high!
Zoey finds out first. And talks to Mira, because...
Rumi has patterns.
Their Rumi has patterns.
And it's Mira who thinks about it the next day, while they're trying to figure out how to talk to Rumi.
"The Golden Honmoon is supposed to banish demons. It's going to banish Rumi!"
And obviously they can't let that happen, so they ambush her the next day, mostly on accident.
"We don't want to turn it gold anymore." Zoey mumbles into Rumi's shoulder.
"What?? Why not?" Rumi asks, her tone flat and Zoey flinches even as she snuggles deeper.
"Because we know, Rumi." Mira says, softly.
Rumi stiffens. "Know what?"
"We saw earlier this week. And it's fine, but we can't turn it gold now! What'll happen to you?" Zoey asks.
"I'll be fixed. That half won't exist anymore." Rumi promises.
"You can't get rid of half of yourself." Mira says quietly.
Rumi stands up, ignoring how Zoey falls off her lap.
"We need to turn the Honmoon gold and I will. I would rather do it with you." Rumi says. She turns, pausing at the door. "This is necessary, you two. Please don't be stupid."
