Summary
Akechi knows that he’s not supposed to be able to hear Morgana. Maintaining the illusion of ignorance is vital if he wants to gain Akira’s trust and guarantee his death. It’s just a shame that Morgana insists on testing his patience during every interaction. The amount of insults he’s had to endure with a straight face is ridiculous. Still, he tells himself that he just has to curb his indignation until November. Then his plan will culminate in the assassination of the Phantom Thieves’ leader. With Akira gone, Shido will win the election - and Akechi’s moment for revenge will arrive.
He’s so close to victory that he can taste it in the back of his throat. If the biggest obstacle to his success is a talking cat, then he’s gotten pretty lucky.
Unfortunately, he underestimates just how much of a roadblock Akira himself will turn out to be.

Summary
Each hallway is quiet. It leaves him only with the sounds of his careful breaths and the click of his heals as he traverses the dull staff hallways. Even so he listens for the clinking of handcuffs, for a distant pair of footsteps, accompanied by the gruff mumblings about work, or a group of rambunctious stomping swallowed by the idle chit chatter of friends.
Sneaking around has never been easier, but it’s an empty experience.

Summary
Akira’s plan—if it could be called that—hinged on brute force. She was holding a half-open cardboard box that, when Akechi peered inside, contained more sex toys than any single person would ever be able to use.
“No,” Akechi said flatly. Akira pulled out an enormous purple thing, too large to ever fit inside a human orifice. “No,” she repeated, but she could feel the breathiness in her voice.
Akira leered.

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

Summary
Haru at least worked out the fact that Ren was grieving. And grief, she had told him, was like a ball in a box with a button. The box often shook, bouncing the ball around, and sometimes the ball would hit the button. That button released a flood of emotions. Ren didn’t know what those emotions were, but he knew they were there.
Eight years later, maybe it's time to sort them out. Maybe it's time to move on.

Summary
Ren had never been very good with authority. Now the authoritative pressures he felt compelled to disobey were the bossy older boy who had tried to kill him and the mysterious supernatural force pulling the two of them together. Having shot one supernatural force in the head very recently, Ren wasn’t particularly inclined to follow the whims of any others.
In Maruki's new reality, an accident of actualization has a unique effect on Goro and Ren– one that neither boy will adapt to easily.- Language:

Summary
"Tomorrow is broken. Tomorrow is nowhere."
A year has passed since the Phantom Thieves struck down a god and saved Tokyo from a terrible fate. But when people all over the globe begin to suffer from "Paranoia Syndrome," mysterious seizures which leave them contorted and unconscious, Akira Kurusu finds himself in the Velvet Room once more, demanding answers for the affliction. His investigation leads him to the Dead Sea, the rotted remnants of the cognitive world, where all things go to be forgotten - including someone the Thieves had thought to be long gone.
Meanwhile, Akira's comatose body is found in the waking world, and his terrified friends suspect the worst. Akira's confidants struggle to learn the truth behind Paranoia Syndrome, while he and Goro Akechi approach a fated confrontation in the decaying shell of the cognitive Tokyo. As the sickness continues to spread, the Phantom Thieves must reunite and destroy the evil festering beneath the Dead Sea's waters, before its malignant influence unravels civilization forever.

Summary

Summary
Disgusted, Maki braces her elbows on her knees. “So you and whoever are both fucked, then.”
“Not yet.”
Maki snaps her focus to Kokichi. “What do you mean.”
Kokichi shrugs. He’d look unbothered if it weren’t for the undercurrent of tension Maki can sense in every movement. “We’re only fucked if they know. And they don’t. I just have to keep it a secret until it’s too late.” He grins brightly. “That’s why I need your help.”

Summary
Maruki’s dream world proves difficult to wake from, leaving Akira to face the doctor without the aid of The Phantom Thieves. At least he has Akechi, as strange as it is to take comfort from his would-be murderer. In a perfect dream, his friends don’t need him. It’s him and Akechi against the world. Maybe Akira is being selfish, as it seems this soft reality has nothing for him, but he can’t let Maruki lie to them, even if it’s a beautiful lie.
Isolated from his friends, Akira begins to grapple with his humanity.

Summary
Several thousand years ago, King Yaldaboath purged the Unseelie from the Summer Kingdom and sealed the Barrier, permanently separating the two realms and sparing the Seelie from the Darkening, a wasting disease spread by the Unseelie. The Seelie lived in peace under the King's rule until, mysteriously, the Darkening began to return, ravaging outlying towns and stirring panic everywhere.
Tucked away in the Summer Court, Goro has more immediate concerns: pleasing his cold and duplicitous father, maintaining his toothless and friendly facade, and hiding his own treasonous aspirations. The arrival of an enigmatic new page certainly doesn't help things. Akira is magnetic and unusually interested in him and Goro finds himself increasingly distracted. When the Darkening comes to their front door, Goro and Akira set out to discover the cause of the outbreak, but the answers they find throw everything about the world as they know it into question.

Summary
“Goro– can I call you Goro? You can call me Takuto, if that makes you more comfortable. Truthfully, I find formalities all rather stifling,” says Maruki. “You know, I feel almost as if I know you already. It must be something about you; you’re just so very… approachable, I suppose is the word. Your face, perhaps? You have such a pleasant aura about you.”
“So I’ve been told,” says Goro. “Yes, that’s fine with me… Takuto.”
Takuto beams at him.
(The bad ending where everything is perfect, Akira and Goro are in love, and Goro goes to therapy.)

Summary
So when he’s told that, in the end, it’s going to be something as mundane as illness that will finally kill Akira—well. It’s the most ridiculous thing that Goro’s ever heard.
It should matter that Akira is far bigger than life and death.
(Akira Kurusu is dead, Akira Kurusu is dying. Goro loved, loves, will always love him.)

Summary
“It’s weird,” Akira says. “You’d think that I’d be used to huge, world-changing events that are totally out of my control by now.”
“No, those were always about you in the end, too,” Goro says. “Even when the stakes were the world’s survival based on an all-powerful god’s whims, it ultimately came down to you and me, didn’t it?” He shrugs. “For once, the world ending isn’t about us at all."
(Escaping from Maruki's false reality gets interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic.)
