    Summary

    “Do not presume to look down on me, Dr. Ratio.”

    It’s hard to breathe. Sunday’s cold anger is pressing in through the Harmony, loud enough to mask the agonizing grief, putting pressure on Ratio’s mind and his chest and settling like a heavy weight in his gut. Still, Ratio laughs weakly. When he speaks it comes out as something between a gasp for breath and a whisper. “Hah … Pathetic.”

    Displeasure is clear in the flat stare Sunday looks at Ratio with. He is silent for a long moment before the tension in his expression dissipates into a vindictive smile. “Perhaps you’ll be more amenable to behaving if you are otherwise occupied. You seemed to quite enjoy those activities from our last meeting, after all.”

    Summary

    Barok van Zieks has a soft spot for animals, not that he'd admit it to anyone.

    Loosely follows a 5 + 1 format. Five times Barok attempts to hide his compassion for animals, and one time he fails to fool anyone.

    Summary

    "You wanted me to… have my way with you, you say?"
    Ryunosuke nodded, his throat tightening.
    Barok leaned down and pressed his mouth against Ryunosuke’s. "Perhaps I wanted that as well."

     

    Ryunosuke confesses to Barok that he's always wanted to be dominated by the Reaper - as luck would have it, they both want the same thing.

    If each paper crane grants its recipient one extra year of life, how many will it take to heal a prosecutor who refuses to look after himself? Ryuunosuke hopes to find an answer to that question.
