    Summary

    The centerpiece of the room is a massive fortune wheel. It sits on a black pedestal, the colorful segments each marked with different symbols of some kind. Akira moves closer to get a better look at them.

    Out from behind the wheel walks a figure.

    (There’s one last obstacle in Sae’s Palace, and when a world based on the principle of unwinnable games gets desperate, things get a little rough.)

    Summary

    He runs as quickly as his feet carry him, passing containers, shelves, only a few meters separating him from the front door. He hears the shouts of the Yakuza behind him as they finally spot him — but they won’t be fast enough to shoot, Akira has already reached the door, he yanks down the handle, pushes open the door—

    And comes face to face with a ghost.

    ___________________________________________

    Five years after the fall of Maruki's reality, Akira has a chance encounter with a certain detective.

    Summary

    Sal Fisher and Larry Johnson are taking the world of heavy metal by storm.

    And their rivalry is too.

    "He waited until after the first song to take his shirt off. He took it off, wiped the sweat off his brow, and then tossed it into the crowd of screaming girls. “Sorry, I just needed to get more comfortable.” He winked. His long brown hair stuck to the sweat on his skin. His tattoos were bold under the lights, and his piercings glimmered under the strobes. He was right. He was a fucking god.

    And Sal hated him for it."

    Summary

    The rabbit-like tempo of Vox’s heart complemented the chugging of blood in Alastor’s ears. If he only focused on that and their shared static, not the implications or the unvoiced wants spawned from a better-left-forgotten history, Alastor could pretend this would work. Even without pretending, Alastor knew his answer. Surely this game would see his victory. What’s that delightful little phrase people use? Third times the charm?

    Alastor released him with no further ado. He didn’t hold Vox’s hand for any longer than necessary, nor did he stay in the room. Between two blinks of his eyes, Vox had found himself alone, his heart exposed to the room, while Alastor had to deal with the silent walk to the kitchen. Both of them had gotten what they wanted. Hadn't they?

    Or

    Vox and Alastor stumble into a relationship of sorts while living in the hotel together, but things get more and more complicated as time goes on.
