    Summary

    “So I’m to be bait,” Akechi says flatly. “You’re serving me up.”

    Ren can feel the grin on his face, and he can’t stop it. “I gotta open the store tomorrow, I only serve coffee.”

    “Absolutely idiotic. Why would I agree to that?"

    Ren shrugs one shoulder and leans back against the movie theater wall, smiling. He’s feeling light on his feet right now. It’s been a bad day, but the end is nice. “Call it penance.”

    “Penance for what,” Akechi says.

    His smile stays where it is as he glances away for a moment, then meets Akechi’s eyes again. “Being yourself.”

    Summer vacation back in Tokyo was supposed to be two things: an exciting break from the mundanity of home, and a chance to see people he's missed so much it hurts. If he survives, Ren has good news for himself on both.

    Summary

    Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.

    Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.

    Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.

    Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.

    No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?

    What would Mom do?
