    Summary

    Ah.

    Laying on the desk, tattered and torn, was the white teddy bear that Hishiama knew Brian adored. It was freshly damaged, the right arm nearly completely ripped off and one of its button eyes dangling by a single thread.

    She'd been in Brian's dorm quite a few times, usually to force her to get rest and take care of her when she got sick and refused to get help, and it took until her third visit for Brian to stop hiding the stuffed animal the second she entered the room.

    They hadn't talked about it, but Hishiama could tell by how well-worn and clearly loved it was that it meant a lot to her friend. Mind made up, she stepped forward and, slowly, reached out a hand to inspect the damage. A somewhat panicked look crossed Brian's face briefly, but it just as quickly returned to being impassive. Hishiama caught it, however, and patted the teddy bear on the head gently before turning around and heading back to the door.

    “Stay awake for me for a lil' bit longer, okay? I'll be back soon.”

    Summary

    Courtney thinks competing in the Ridonculous Race as the Best Friends is a terrible idea, but Alejandro is certain that with their skills, they can win… even if his legs are still damaged, and a few former members of Team Chris are also competing. Not to mention that Courtney soon finds herself distracted by a face she never expected to see here. As wounds from the past begin to rip open, will the Best Friends be able to stay best friends?

    Noah expects this show to be like any other that he and Owen have competed on in the last year, complete with his steadily increasing competitive drive. What he doesn’t expect is to make fast friends with another team, or a reunion with a strangely sincere Alejandro. More perceptive than he’s given credit for, Owen just wants his little buddy to choose happiness, which is easier said than done on reality television.

    Emma will do anything to win the million—except trust her opponents, or even her allies. Competing mostly for fun, Kitty wishes her sister would let her walls down, as she’s tired of how Emma’s been treating her since her bad breakup. There’s only so much bossy behavior she can take, and if Emma doesn’t start being honest with her, Kitty’s going to take charge.

    Summary

    It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”

    Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”

    “Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”

    (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

    Summary

    “You sleep in the same room as Kozue?” Nanami asks.
    Miki looks over his shoulder at her as he picks up the pillow. “Yes? We always have.”
    “I thought you two didn’t get along these days.”
    “That doesn’t change where our beds are,” Miki says, like she’s being silly.

    After learning that Touga isn’t her biological brother, Nanami stays over with the Kaoru twins to avoid being in her own house. After seeing Akio and Anthy together in the planetarium late at night, she stays with them again.

    Set during episodes 31-32.
