Summary
Nature abhors a vacuum. When a demon is banished from a world, all it leaves is opportunity for another to take its place. When Gwi-ma was blasted out of the picture, it attracted the none-too-tender attentions of another, nearby universe. Nearby in proximity, and on cosmic time scales, in date as well.
The Techrot are showing signs of changing, of evolution faster than anything seen before. Something from the outside is leaking in. The Hex sends a crack team of its members to find what is causing this change and stop it before the year resets and all this might be irreversible.
The Honmoon is secure, there hasn't been a demon sighting in two months, and most importantly, they've been on hiatus the whole time. It's probably the most peaceful time Huntrix have ever had to themselves ever since they became idols and hunters. What's up next for them? A new song, of course. There's only nine months until the Idol Awards again, and they have to, absolutely have to win this time. Their only competition is this new 90's nostalgia band from overseas that's gone viral overnight, and they're nothing Huntrix haven't handled before... right?

Summary
With nothing better to do than to let his thoughts chase themselves in catastrophising circles (don’t think about Eleanor and Lettie and how they’re getting on, don’t think about Quincy and if he got out before the tank got there, don’t think about Amir failing to stop the reactor exploding, don’t think about-), Arthur half-turned to keep Umbra in his periphery, tapping his index finger against the trigger guard of his rifle.
This was their future, if Marty’s very hasty and sporting gaping holes story was anything to go by.
or;
It wasn't just Drifter sent back to 1999. Umbra was taken along for the ride too as back up that Drifter can rely on... too bad it didn't change anything on that disastrous New Years Eve, but it sure adds some new and interesting dynamics amongst the Hex while they wait out the timeloop.

Summary
Drifter Dee plays with the mods in Arthur's legs sexual style.
The process of having his armor removed was much the same as when Dee had installed the mods in his legs, except this time, Dee’s hands deliberately massaged his inner thighs before starting to pry up his armor there. When they cut away at the fascia, they playfully snipped at his other armor plates, and once the armor was removed and secured out of the way, they indulgently slid their lubricated hands up and down his techrot muscles until he squirmed in the chair.

Summary
Their suggestion itself seemed innocuous. Get together, cook a meal, eat it, and then go their separate ways. Nothing fancy, just a simple, harmless reunion between friends.
Except they weren’t just friends. They were also partners. A couple. Everything they did together was now colored by this fact, particularly where sneaking off by themselves was concerned.
---
Or: early in their relationship, the Drifter invites Arthur to the Backroom, and he freaks out over the possibility that they’ll want to sleep with him when his body is no longer made for that.

Summary
The Hex catches on to something the Drifter is doing (or rather, pointedly isn't doing) early on, and it's time for A Talk. The Drifter is basically a feral cat who hasn't quite decided yet whether they want to be adopted or are just here for the food, so what should be a simple question turns into something between sitcom slapstick banter and a soap opera scene.
Saying that things go "a bit tits-up" is an understatement, but don't worry about it. They're fine.
Tl;dr: The Drifter isn't using an Atomicycle and The Hex are Concerned but Kind Of Assholes About It. Drifter gets riding lessons. They go poorly.
Basically Rank 1/Neutral Chemistry levels all around, sometime in mid-February.

Summary
Drifter Dee helps Arthur install a mod on himself. Arthur is incredibly normal about the process.
Arthur let out a groan, which immediately became the most embarrassing thing he’d ever done—way worse than that time Eleanor had pantsed him in year seven—and by Sol, he was making this weird, wasn’t he? He stole a glance at Dee’s face to check their reaction, who turned out to be in the process of stealing a glance at his face (probably checking to make sure he wasn’t about to be violently ill). The unexpected eye contact made his cheeks flood with heat, which made everything worse. He hadn’t blushed like that in a decade, at least.

Summary
Aoi raised her hands in surrender. “I know. I'm not trying to prove you're dating the Drifter. I just got the vibe that you might. That's all.”
He stared at his food. “Well, I'm not.”
Silence descended upon them. Far from relaxing him, it only served to wound him up tighter. He knew when a storm was coming; the wait was, in his humble opinion, worse than the destruction it wrought.
Thankfully, Aoi didn't leave him to his misery for long.
“But you do like them,” she said.

Arthur's afraid that his bond with the Drifter will get in the way of his duties. But when a mission goes wrong and his misguided sense of responsibility threatens to split the Hex apart, it ends up becoming the very thing that saves them.

Summary
The urge to relax quickly evaporated as he caught a glance of the mannequin next to the sitting area. It had been there when his partner had arrived for the first time to the mall, ‘tagged’ by a duplicate set of his shades. Neither had bothered to move it, even as Amir moved into the backrooms with them.
But, evidently, his partner had done some redecorating.
Even from where he sat, he could spot the vibrant orange collar that now rested on the mannequin’s neck, complete with a short, thick leash, the loop of which rested in its odd plasticine hand.
