Summary
A lump forms in Goro’s throat, and it doesn’t budge even when Ren asks him:
“So, Akechi, could you tell me more about Voltaire?”
And he does.
The evening passes far quicker than he could ever anticipate. It’s in tidbits of knowledge and immersive debates, chess moves that barely make sense anymore, because he’s a little too lost in the low timbre of Ren’s words and the soothing notes of their coffee.
It hits differently, dreadfully, that this is the last time. And that he maybe, possibly, wants this time to last forever.
--
Goro and Ren spend one "last" evening together, exchanging just a few more words in the time that they have.

Summary
Said man leads them to the table set a few feet away from the windows, keeping them balanced at the edge of the world with just the two of them, and Goro feels like he’s been thrown back years into the past – a similar sight soaked into his memory; quiet promises and stolen glances and careful touches etched right into the crevices of his mind from their time in the Tokyo Skytree.
Goro feels his heart rate pick up, barely tuned into the freshwater lake and tower construction trivia tumbling from his boyfriend’s lips as he pours and hands over a glass of rosy champagne.
Joker’s words are rehearsed and nervous and terribly, disgustingly endearing, despite himself.

Having enjoyed two weeks in each other's company exploring the bustling Canadian city of Toronto, Goro and Akira steadily wrap up their longest trip yet with an evening at the CN Tower. Still, Goro can't quite shake the feeling that something is amiss about his partner...

Summary
Mahiru loses her camera. Somehow, she's equal parts relieved and terrified to have it back within her own desensitized, scar-riddled hands.

Summary
Chiaki smiles bittersweetly as she takes a deep breath, tucking her cane into her utility belt. Inspector Akamatsu wouldn’t be around to chase them down this time, but the Cooper gang heirloom was more than worth the effort.
They’d gotten the Thievius Raccoonus back some time ago, but now it was time to make Enoshima pay the price.

Summary
Akira stops and shifts closer to Goro, leaning into his space just enough to see him squirm a little, “Well, I thought you would appreciate the extra flair. Unless…”
He knows this tone. He knows he’s trying to bait him, and yet, he’s left no choice but to bite.
“Unless what?”
His voice drops a little lower as he leans in even further, a fully realized smirk plastered on his face, “Unless this is your way of saying you want to back out of the challenge?”

Summary
In this world Akechi has one dimple.
It appears when he smiles, a minuscule divot at the left corner of his mouth. It’s a different smile than Akira remembers seeing—small and private. Smug, sometimes, but not mean. It’s the kind of smile he imagines a person would want to kiss and kiss if their beloved was smiling it. He only ever imagines this in a detached, matter-of-fact way.

Summary
The day his mark appears, Ren wakes up screaming in pain.
It circles his throat like a scarred collar. Anemones, asphodels, and roses curling across his skin, maroon.
He’s 9 and his parents are horrified.
Everyone's born with flowers on their skin, leading them to their other halves. Ren and Akechi find each other when they're children first, their bond running deeper than most.

Summary
He never fell asleep around other people. Especially not in a cafe attic that didn't even have a door, let alone a lock, with
the boy he was to killhis rival singing just feet away. People weren't safe. Kurusu wasn't, couldn't be, an exception.Goro's book fell from his hands into his lap. He barely noticed, eyes fluttering shut with the determination to stay that way. He tilted sideways, head far too heavy to hold up a second longer. Descent slowed by pillows til he was flat against the bed, and the world fell away.

Summary
They hadn’t said a word, all this time. And not ever, really, about… themselves. Akira let himself think the jazz club, the aquarium, the café, were all dates. They felt like dates. And Akechi always acted like they were special. Like Akira was special. Seemed more interested in him than anyone else. And this moment, it felt special. The movie droned on in front of them, but Akira hadn’t seen or heard any bit of it. All he could think about was...
Akira looked up at Akechi, heart slamming in his ears as he dared to see Akechi's expression. When hard garnet eyes met his, Akira's breath froze in his lungs. A warm, hooded gaze met Akira, a quiet fire burning low, his damp lips slightly parted. Was this... were they...?

Summary
"You've placed all your bets on being gone, haven't you." Akira matches Goro's intensity, though his voice falls like a weighted blanket and not a knife.
Goro and Akira talk the morning of 2/3.
