Summary
Futaba sighs, walking farther to collapse on a nearby bench. “… it’s called Hanahaki. It’s actually a super popular trope in stories online—that’s how I recognized it. People who have it… well, you saw how Akira was. They grow flowers in their lungs and puke it up when it gets too bad.”
“And do you know its origins?" Goro asks. "Anything that could link back to Maruki? He must have added it for a reason.”
“... Yeah, I think so. That’s kinda why I wanted to talk to you about this alone.” Futaba brings her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. “People only get Hanahaki if they love someone who doesn’t love them back.”
or; a strange status effect fills Akira's lungs with flowers. Goro is left to care for him—and to grapple with what the disease means.

Summary
“Why do you keep calling me that?”
Akechi frowns again. Despite his words all but conveying a ‘goodbye’, he hadn’t moved. “Calling you what?”
“‘Amamiya’,” Akira says, trying and failing not to shake. “‘Ren’.”
“Your name?” He raises an eyebrow, taking on an almost bewildered tone. “You’re asking me why I’m calling you by your name?”
(or: vanilla p5/strikers protag accidentally ends up paying p5r Akechi a visit.)

Summary
“Open the bag,” he says, stern and yet anticipatory as Akira dutifully pulls it from his shoulder and unzips it before them.
The officer steps forward instead, peering in for a moment, and reaches a hand inwards to root around before looking up.
“I need to drop these shirts off at the cleaners. Too nice for the laundromat, sadly,” Akira says.
The officer nods in what he thinks is solemn agreement, while the agent grits his teeth. Akira manages to suppress a smile.
“Akira Kurusu, correct?” the officer asks, flipping over a notepad, exchanging a clearly annoyed look at the agent as Akira hums in agreement. “And your occupation?”
This time, he can’t contain the grin. “I’m a househusband.”
---
Akira Kurusu, ex leader of the Phantom Thieves, has now changed his ways to become a dedicated househusband. And absolutely nothing else. At all. Promise. -

Summary
“Oh, did he give you a false record? Are people being mean to you in school when you're not with your ridiculously large group of friends and loving guardian and snuggly cat? Are you having a hard time? BOO-FUCKING-HOO! HE KILLED MY MOTHER!”
Now that Akira thought about it, there had probably been good reason for why he'd failed to do this the first time around.
Goro gets hit with the Forget status effect and suddenly forgets about six years of marriage, thinking he's back in the Engine Room, facing the Phantom Thieves in battle. Akira totally knows what to do.
