    Summary

    Diane was no stranger to despair. At times, she used to revel in it. It used to define her, and she used to use it as her pen, her driving force. Yet, this was a despair that even she was unfamiliar with. A despair that threatened to strip her of the life that she had worked so hard for, and of the life that she had begun to trust.

    -------

    Diane Nguyen has been writing mysteries for a while now. But when she wakes up in a game of mutual killing with 15 strangers, she quickly realises that she'll have to take on the role of detective, or pay the price with her life.

    Summary

    "Are you interested in Playing another Game?"

    "Not particularly," declared Neku.

    "Aww, but I've been working so hard on it," Joshua pleaded, his smirk only growing by the second. "I had to make a new one, after all, once those Shinjuku Reapers were done having their fun."

    It's been a year since Neku has last seen Joshua, and it wasn't as if their last conversation was all that involved. Now, completely out of the blue, Joshua is asking Neku to test-Play a "new version" of the Reapers' Game -- but of course, this requires Neku to die once again in order to do so.

    The amount of trust Neku has in a person who has yet to do anything worthy of his forgiveness, leading to him accepting this offer without a second thought, is probably a bit concerning.

    Summary

    Shadow staggered to his feet; Sonic caught him at the shoulder before he fell over. “Hey,” Sonic murmured, “I meant it, you know. About being your friend.”

     

    “I meant it too. You don’t know what you’re asking for.”

     

    A different message than just a straight no, Shadow realized too late. He observed the sharp perk of Sonic’s ears while the grip that shifted to his bicep gave a squeeze. “Tell me. Tell me what I’m not getting.” A cough had Sonic wipe his mouth with the back of his glove. “I want to learn what it takes to be your friend.”

     

    -

    It started with the chao. Then, strange energy signatures. It was easy work; the everyday run-of-the-mill adventure. Sonic’s friends would make space for him, always- but when he isn’t around, they’re still living their lives without him. He’s starting to feel the impact.

    At least he can count on Shadow to stay the same.

    The pair of hedgehogs work together to solve a new threat, learn just how far family extended beyond the ARK, and challenge each other to let go of the things too heavy to hold while honoring what is meant to be remembered.
