    Summary

    He held out a gloved hand. ‘I’m Majima.’

    Goro Majima, Kiryu finished in his head, the name coming back to him. He reached out and grasped Majima’s hand. His grip was firm, fingers slender but strong.

    ‘Not ta complain or anythin’, but I’d like if ya gave me your name too,’ Majima said after a long beat. ‘Might be nice to stop referrin’ to ya as “that muscly barista guy” in my head.’

    Kiryu blinked in response.

    Summary

    In these rare moments of quiet, when Kiryu was left on his own with nothing ahead and nothing behind, his mind always strayed to the same thought like an animal licking a wound.

    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.
