Summary
Akira pauses at this, replacing confusion with flatness. "You're right. Whatever suits you. We can get right to it: Why have you been dodging all of my communication?"
"Frankly, Akira, let me ask you a question instead. Why do you feel that I owe you communication?"
Goro keeps ghosting Akira throughout January. It's better this way. It has to be.

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.

The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking

Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

Summary
On the first of January, Kurusu Akira wakes up in Akechi Goro's bed.
In the time they had spent together, he had known the beast that hid behind the Detective Prince's charm, but there was something magnetic about his spite that Akira found electric, so he flirted ever-closer to the storm that was Akechi Goro with eyes open and hand outstretched. Maybe, in the earlier days, he thought that he could endear himself to Akechi and avoid the murder plot, but the more he got to know him, the more impossible it seemed.
Now, things are different. They're in a world after Shido, and Akechi still breathes within Akira's reach.

Summary
His heart is still pounding. He leans against the wall of a nearby store and waits for his nerves to settle. Though actually, who the hell knows. Maybe there's a vein embedded in it, and he's really leaning on one of Maruki's tendrils again. It was days ago that happened, and he still has nightmares about it.
He breathes. He's okay. Everything's fine. How could it be otherwise?
Alone in Maruki's reality, surrounded by ghosts and the twisted veins of Mementos, Ren fights a hopeless battle against despair. A wounded blue butterfly flutters at the edge of his vision.
