    Summary

    Reki and Langa (and the rest of the sk8 gang) meet as counselors at a summer camp in Okinawa.


    As he drove past the camp sign and the trees grew dense, rising up on either side of the narrow road, Reki tried to contain his excitement. He kept his foot on the brake, rolling along slowly, and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He couldn’t help but grin, because he was here, he was really here, and it felt like coming home.


    Langa was home alone a lot, and he went places alone, but this was the first time he felt truly alone. He knew there were people down the winding road, waiting for him and his new coworkers, but right now, his world felt open and empty and exciting and scary and—
    He had been hoping for a way to leave everything behind, the entire past year, and maybe this was it. He tipped his head back to look at the clouds, and felt his backpack straps cutting into his shoulders, and he felt more alive already.

    All Reki wants is to make friends in college, but so far he's been out of luck. So when Langa Hasegawa wanders into his campus coffeeshop, an awkward finance major with a big heart and a secret passion for birds, Reki's whole college experience comes to life. He and Langa study together, play frisbee on the lawn together, crash in Reki's dorm bed together, share sweaters and whispered secrets and soft touches, and Reki's so happy with him that he's terrified to let anything ruin their friendship.

    Even his own feelings.

     

    (reki and langa navigate college, homesickness, important life decisions and found families, and the aching feeling of discovering friendship for the first time)

    Summary

    Death wasn’t as dramatic as stories made it out to be.

    Nene had read plenty of books growing up. Romance, drama, horror (her favorite!), and of course, tragedies. She had never been a big fan of that particular genre. It was always too melodramatic for her tastes, and not in the whimsical, romantic way that she liked. Death was always tragic, that was undeniably true, but in the stories, it always seemed as though the dying person would cling desperately to life, fighting with every fiber of their being to cling to that one final breath. Nene didn’t fight when she died.

    Oh, she had thought as it hit her. I’m dying.

    That sucks.

     Predictably, Nene dies. Fortunately, contrary to what Hanako claimed, death wasn't necessarily the end.
