Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)

Summary
“I’m fine," Ren replies instantly, clipped and already distracted by their next target. “Kind of horny, I guess. All your growling and screaming is pretty distracting.”
All of his teammates, Akechi included, freeze. Ren takes a minute to catch up. Wait — what did he just say?
After being hit by a strange attack, Ren can’t keep the truth to himself.

Summary
"I’ll put in a good word for you if the king asks, and if you keep your head down, you might get out of here alive," Prince Akechi says matter-of-factly, as if he’s talking about the weather.
“Wow, seems like a great place to be,” Akira responds, his tone bland. “Any other good news?”
At that, Prince Akechi’s lips tilt into a rueful little smile.
“Nothing good ever happens here,” he says.

Summary
“You’re insane."
“Yet you keep driving forwards,” Akira quipped back.
Goro gave him a quick glance.
“It’s the motorway. I can’t exactly turn here.”
There's still time until they have to meet Maruki's deadline, so Akira decides to kidnap Goro into going on a road trip with him. Everything goes as you would expect.
Oh, and there's only one bed.Bookmarked by FizzlePopPhantom

Summary
“So, this is the Trickster you kept telling me about? Honestly, I’ve come to expect someone a bit more impressive, Lavenza.”
It can’t be.
There, in the luminescent blues of the Velvet Room’s corridor, unfamiliar white hair brushing against the shoulders of an unfamiliar uniform jacket, but eyes, yellow, unfamiliar eyes burning into Akira and setting him ablaze with that unforgettable, familiar glow, and alive, alive, alive, stood Goro Akechi.
And something inside Akira combusts.
—
After returning to the tranquility of his hometown, Akira Kurusu struggles to come to terms with the gains and losses of his adventures as the Phantom Thief of Hearts. Yet, in the slivers of blue that bleed into his dreams and reality, he finds treasures believed to be obliterated by his own choices.
