Summary
Goro shuffles back onto his side of the bed—or what used to be his side, anyway. The whole bed is Ren's now. "I'm not forcing you into this, am I?"
"What?" Ren's voice is low and gruff and definitely guarded. "You're asking this now?"
"Just answer the question."
Ren pulls the pillow out from under Goro's head and shucks off the pillowcase. There's a wet spot on it from Goro's spit. "This is why we broke up," he says lightly.
Right. They broke up because they're both fundamentally incapable of being honest with themselves and each other. They get jealous. They self-sabotage. They play stupid games instead of communicating. They didn't even last a year, and now Goro has agonized over this for even longer than that. They're simply better when they're apart.
And still, somehow, every time he's in Ren's bed again, he cannot quite figure out how he ended up back here.

Summary
In almost two years running of these secret little appointments, this is the first time Yukari's so thoroughly lost track of the hours leading up to midnight. It's already nearly half past, meaning her time tonight is cut short because she was—distracted. And because, all told, it's difficult to make up a good enough excuse to up and leave in the middle of a conversation.
She unlocks a side door and traipses through the dark, abandoned halls of Gekkoukan High School with ease. To think she'd once been so on edge sneaking through here on an operation, bracing herself for ghosts around every corner—well, at least she's got the sense of humor to laugh about it now.
--
Once a month, when the moon is full and the hour turns to midnight, Yukari talks to her best friend.

Summary
He can't do this. He can't kill Scar. Not when he's wearing that resigned little half-smile, not looking the least bit nervous. Not when he's already freely offered up his life once before, standing waist-deep in the pond with his head bowed.
Would it have been easy if all it took was one swift stab through the heart, if the water washed his hands clean of Scar's blood and, after everything, gave him absolution he didn't deserve?
It's too late now.
--
They let the ghosts count them in.

Summary
Akira doesn't do this with anyone else. He doesn't sneak out through the Clocktower window late at night for them. He doesn't stay awake through the script just to hear their lines. He doesn't indulge in playing out the same scene over and over and over and over when he doesn't have to.
It's only with Akechi. Every loop, Akira meets him in the meadow, dagger in hand. Every time, Akechi waits for him with his sword drawn, his outline traced by starlight.
Obsession. It's obsession, crawling through Akira's brain. This time, he'll feint a little faster, press his advantage a little harder, force Akechi to switch to his left hand a few steps earlier, and he'll come no closer to unlocking the great mystery of Goro Akechi.

Summary
Ren stares at the light-up dartboard. "This is our rematch?"
"Indeed." Akechi turns and levels a serious look at him. "Do you have a problem with that?"
There are many problems with it. "I thought you meant, like, in the Metaverse," Ren says. "Like we were going to go beat each other up."
"Well." Akechi flips his hair out of his eyes and opens up a fancy little case with his fancy little darts that let him somehow always throw bullseyes. "That's your fault for making the wrong assumption, isn't it?"
"It's your fault for being evasive and unclear," Ren argues. Rather futilely, but it's the thought that counts.
Akechi's eyes dance under the fluorescent lights—oh, Ren's definitely being laughed at now. "701. First to zero wins. I'll even be a good sport and let you go first."

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
“I won’t back down,” Goro nods, more to himself than Akira. “But first, a warning: I’m not like you. Or like the other… people,” he spits out, like “people” is in quotation marks, “you dally with. There’s a high probability I won’t enjoy this at all.”
Yes, of course, you’re very special and different and you’re the toppiest top to ever top, Akira doesn’t say.
“Get on the mattress, Goro.”
