Just because you're living, doesn't mean you're alive. Just because you're breathing, doesn't mean you want to be.
No one ever talks about how excruciating it is to feel numb.

Bookmarker's Notes
Knew this was going in bookmarks before I even finished it. DAMN. I’m obsessed with all of this. Tohru as a teen is just too adorable, and Narukami is so charming. I love the darker turn that charm takes, and REALLY love the last few lines at the end. Would enthusiastically welcome any continuation of this AU—I’m hooked!!

Summary
Now a law school student and an official of a certain Public Safety department, Yu returns to Inaba with the assignment to get Adachi's case out of the legal stalemate. Adachi, who never got a trial or a sentence due to the complicated circumstances of his case, has been stuck in jail for the past 5 years, which took a toll on him physically and mentally. The two deal with private and interpersonal issues as they struggle to make Yu’s plans on prosecuting the case work.

Bookmarker's Notes
I could only dream of having this much talent. What an extremely engrossing sequel to another extremely engrossing fic. Both capture everything I love about the dynamic between these two. Easily the longest work I’ve ever read on AO3 but it doesn’t feel like it. I’m having a blast!
Update: All caught up and I can honestly say this is the most compelling long fic I’ve ever read

That one heart-to-heart talk Adachi must’ve had with his Shadow in canon after the handshake thing happened.
