Summary
“Do you know Sliver of Straw? She's quite legendary among us.
Sliver of Straw is the only one to ever broadcast a specific signal: that the Big Problem we're all working on has been solved. The triple affirmative - affirmative that a solution has been found, affirmative that the solution is portable, and affirmative that a technical implementation is possible and generally applicable. She's also one of few that has ever been confirmed as exhaustively incapacitated, or dead. We do not die easily.” - Looks To The Moon (Pale Yellow Pearl)

The wider iterator populace is still reeling from the death of Sliver of Straw and her unexpected broadcast. Investigations of her structure prove to be, if not fruitful, confusing. Essential data has been gouged out; personality matrices, precious memories, all gone. What remains of her runs simulations in endless circles until it collapses to the ground in an inglorious heap.
Evading prying eyes, a strange creature makes its escape unnoticed. In its desperate flight, it meets with two like it. But this world is not forgiving, and they will need to use every resource at their disposal to survive.

Summary
Hifumi receives a tempting offer from the Phantom Thieves. How is a queen supposed to weigh risk and reward when the odds aren’t in her favor?
That's obvious; she does anything and everything to reclaim the upper-hand. Unfortunately for Makoto Niijima, she makes for extremely enticing prey.

Summary
She didn’t think Makoto was the kind of girl to be into roses and flower language, sure, because she’s just so proper and ladylike all the time (except for as Queen— ironically enough). But the enthused way she explains is just so fitting. She gets this bright cadence to her voice that reminds Ann of lilies or sunflowers and is so different from her usual stern, commanding alto.
“You’re actually really cute,” Ann says, watching the way Makoto turns the ring over in her hands.
… which is evidently the absolute wrong thing to say, because Makoto looks like she’s just been shot.

Summary
If you’d asked Ren to make a list of things Akechi might do after surviving certain death, twice, he would not have put ‘continue his dumb celebrity career’ on it anywhere. Like, not even as a back-up option. Not even close.
Akechi shrugs. “My agent called. There was still interest. I need money to live. Do you expect me to get a job at 777?”
Akechi’s face is on the 777. His smile glimmers out at the world, his eyes sparkling with secrets, as if nothing could be more coyly, erotically compelling than a cheap can of iced tea. The photographer seems to have been very, very interested in the way Akechi’s long fingers in black leather gloves set off the sweet curve of his lower lip. Every time Ren works a shift he has to look at this poster for hours. And the advertising campaign is working, so he also has to look at the mini-version on the special limited edition cans of iced tea that everyone is suddenly buying.
