    Summary

    “I think he can’t come today!”

    Akechi startles. Embarrassing. Yoshizawa is hardly unobtrusive. The street lights of the January evening pick up the shocking red of her hair and the sparkle of her eyes. She moves like a dancer, as if every step might become a graceful leap. Strangers she passes smile to see her go. She’s full of sparkle this week; the wilting flower performance of the first half of January is all over, and she’s started tying her hair up again in what is probably—

    Akechi doesn’t care about this. Why does he still notice these things? It doesn’t matter.

     

    —probably a sincere tribute to her dead sister, rather than a tragic imitation.

     

    Spend long enough playing the detective, and some sad and pointless part of you can’t stop pretending.

    Summary

    The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.

    In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.

    So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?

    (Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)

    Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

    Summary

    Yosuke doesn't even really register the stack of boxes in Yu’s arms until Yu clears his throat.
    “Yosuke,” he says quietly. And then Yosuke sees the neat labels stickered on the sides, the carefully taped edges, that the apartment is starting to look a little emptier. “I'm moving out.”

    --

    left alone in the apartment they'd shared, yosuke finds himself at a loss. there's some fundamental truth he's missing about his life, and he's pretty sure it just moved back to inaba with his partner.

    (or: yosuke hanamura, time to face yourself for the second time.)
