    Summary

    To be kept apart by law was cruel, but not as cruel as the way it made their moments together even sweeter.

    Summary

    “I think he can’t come today!”

    Akechi startles. Embarrassing. Yoshizawa is hardly unobtrusive. The street lights of the January evening pick up the shocking red of her hair and the sparkle of her eyes. She moves like a dancer, as if every step might become a graceful leap. Strangers she passes smile to see her go. She’s full of sparkle this week; the wilting flower performance of the first half of January is all over, and she’s started tying her hair up again in what is probably—

    Akechi doesn’t care about this. Why does he still notice these things? It doesn’t matter.

     

    —probably a sincere tribute to her dead sister, rather than a tragic imitation.

     

    Spend long enough playing the detective, and some sad and pointless part of you can’t stop pretending.

    Summary

    Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.

    Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.

    Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.

    Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.

    No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?

    What would Mom do?

    Summary

    If you’d asked Ren to make a list of things Akechi might do after surviving certain death, twice, he would not have put ‘continue his dumb celebrity career’ on it anywhere. Like, not even as a back-up option. Not even close.

    Akechi shrugs. “My agent called. There was still interest. I need money to live. Do you expect me to get a job at 777?”

    Akechi’s face is on the 777. His smile glimmers out at the world, his eyes sparkling with secrets, as if nothing could be more coyly, erotically compelling than a cheap can of iced tea. The photographer seems to have been very, very interested in the way Akechi’s long fingers in black leather gloves set off the sweet curve of his lower lip. Every time Ren works a shift he has to look at this poster for hours. And the advertising campaign is working, so he also has to look at the mini-version on the special limited edition cans of iced tea that everyone is suddenly buying.

    Summary

    On the morning of February 4th, most of a decade ago, Akechi wakes with a start, stares blindly up at the tiles of the ceiling without registering what he’s looking at, and says out loud, “Well, that’s embarrassing.”
