    Summary

    I turn back to the stove to watch the eggs cook. “So, I wanted to ask, is there anyone coming over today to celebrate?”
    He laughs. Laughs. Like the very idea is ludicrous.
    “Don’t be silly Mom,” he says. “No one wants to come to my party, and even if they did, they'd be the laughing stock of the school. I understand perfectly! I would never do that to anyone. I'll just decorate my own small cake and eat it by myself.”
    Oh.
    And here I thought “it breaks my heart” was poetic license. My chest hurts so badly I can hardly breathe.
    “Rui…” my husband says.
    “Don’t worry, Dad, really!” Rui’s voice is so insistent I almost fall for it. Our son is a talented little actor in his own right. Rui scratches the back of his neck. “Actually, truly, please don’t worry. It hurts more when you pity me.”
    Then, he heads back to his room.

    Summary

    The object that grabs his curiosity rattles as it rolls on its side and before he can consider that maybe it isn't a good idea, he picks it up, drawing further noise from it.

    "Hey, what's this?" Makoto asks as he turns the pill bottle over in his hand.

    Summary

    Months after the Final Killing Game ends and years after everything else, Byakuya Togami is given two weeks to report on Hope's Peak Academy’s renewal. Being him, he's come to expect just about anything.

    Two weeks. It's enough time to get what he needs and leave. But it can never be that easy, now can it?
