Summary
Jimmy had stood in front of Billy two days ago and staked his loyalty to Duncan over his loyalty to the police force, and he'd do it again in a heartbeat.
In another universe, this is how Series 7 might have gone.

Summary
Why do they always have to know more than him? Why is Art permanently on the back foot? Maybe because they like him there. They like him stupid and wide open and helpless, and he resents it down to his bones, how could he not?

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.
What was he doing?
(Kiryu's accumulated a bit too much heat from the cops and is forced to skip town for a while. Luckily his caring superior Majima is around to help him pass the time.)

Summary
Cid sized him up, and liked what he saw. Clive Rosfield. Dead man, ducal first-born son, and branded. The other half of Cid’s soul, close enough to taunt but not touch. The rarest gift ever given to a man, a chance that came for one in ten thousand, all for Cid. For Cid.
Fate really had a sick sense of humor.

Summary
“And you cared about nothing,” Neil fills in the blanks by himself, forging the unbreakable image of Kevin and Andrew before Neil even knew them. “You wanted to be more like him.”
When Andrew doesn’t answer, Neil continues, “His left hand. He always let you take care of it, too. He trusted you like that. Kevin— Kevin never doubted your ability to be gentle.”
“He was naive,” Andrew grinds his teeth, “and stupid.”
Neil’s response is so automatic he couldn’t have taken it back if he wanted to. “And you loved him for it.”
Alternatively: Kevin's graduation confirms what they already knew — it's always easier to realize you love something after you lose it.
