Summary
He’s not sure if it’s the realisation of what exact kind of situation he’s in or just his delayed response to the freezing wind outside that sends a racking shiver down his body (though it could very well be from the feeling of hands, cold and calloused, wrapped around his neck, however short that time was). He’s stuck, trapped in a cabin who-fucking-knows-where with only his psychopathic dad for company.
Once River’s had enough of attempting to crawl out of his skin, his father finds it in him to speak. “Meant to put that on while you were out,” he rumbles with his low, American drawl. “Morning, son.”

Summary
Reigen’s out of breath too, he realises, pulling at his shirt collar with a finger, a (nervous, more than exhausted) sweat clinging to his back. He looks down warily at the tree roots’ destruction, nimbly avoiding touching any of the plant. Nothing would really happen if he bumped his foot against one, he thinks, so why is he avoiding it?
This immediate thought is exactly why he stays as far away as he can.

my interpretation of how reigen may have been brainwashed on the way to the divine tree because this storyline makes me lose it

Summary
“Didn’t know you’d been so roughed up, boss,” Chris says, leaning in Sam’s direction. “Those matching scars on your chest ‘n all.”
Sam’s head snaps over to the two officers and he can’t tell if his face has gone pale or bright red. It’s as if Ray’s forcing himself to nod - he’s looking at Sam so strangely. There’s no way they actually… oh.
-
Sam gets wounded in a chase and, while being treated, the team sees his top scars.
(title is from starman by david bowie)

Summary
God, this is all so patronising, Sam thinks. He knows she’s thinking of exactly how to word it, because she thinks of him as someone who’s a wrong word away from going mad. He can’t stand it. It might be true. He can’t stand it.
-
DCI Sam Tyler meets with DI Alex Drake, who wants to help him process the traumatic experience of his coma. He understands less and less that it was all a product of his imagination. She understand less and less that his team is still begging for his help.
(basically sam struggling with reintegrating into 2006 society, with alex there too yay! set at the end of S2E8 of life on mars so spoilers for LOM and vague spoilers for bits of ashes to ashes!)
(title from heaven knows im miserable now by the smiths)

Was it his fault he was caught?

Summary
This is a world in which Mob and Reigen’s paths have never crossed, in which 10-year-old Mob found psychic guidance in the form of the aging, retired tv personality Keiji Mogami, in which Reigen followed through on his plans to close the Spirits and Such Agency, in which a cruel twist of Mob’s powers forces him to confront how dangerous he really is.
10 year old Shigeo Kageyama has vanished, his trail instantly cold, and his case gathers dust in police archives as a kidnapping never solved. Four years pass before a chain of events causes his path to cross with that of the despondent, unfulfilled fake-psychic-turned-fake-investigator, Arataka Reigen. Reigen finds himself in over his head caring for an escaped victim of abuse who, for reasons unfathomable, has been taught to believe his very existence is a horrifically dangerous thing…
