    Summary

    “Federal court?” Phoenix said, blankly, for the third time, and this time, Edgeworth, sounding distinctly less sympathetic, said, “Surely you’ve heard of it.”

    Summary

    A humid summer evening. Ren’s ugly polo shirt is stuck to his back with sweat. His hair is lank. Akechi observes him shifting subtly in his chair at their usual café, trying to escape the discomfort, and decides the spectacle pleases him. It’s perhaps an unfair advantage that Akechi himself never feels the heat too badly. And a Ren who is already uncomfortable is a Ren who’s vulnerable, which is why Akechi picks that moment to say, “Do you mind if I ask a personal question?”

    Summary

    “Okay, two possibilities,” says Futaba. “One, we hit some kind of trap or tripwire back in the Palace and it set off a strong status ailment that we don’t know how to cure. Or two, Dr Maruki just granted the wish of someone who always really, really wanted Goro Akechi to be a girl.”

    Summary

    Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.

    Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.

    Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.

    Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.

    No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?

    What would Mom do?

    Summary

    She doesn’t want him dead. Just gone. So they tell her what they can do—figure out his route to and from school and work, take him so fast that no one would see, and take him somewhere else. Somewhere that he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone.

     

    Faced with the impending arrest and murder of her closest friend, Haru resorts to extreme measures to make sure that the interrogation room plan does not go ahead.
    So long as Akechi is out of the picture, Ren and the thieves will be safe. She’ll make sure of it.

    (Or: Haru has Akechi kidnapped and kept in her basement to protect Ren.)
