    Summary

    Her cheeks, along with the tip of her nose, are still pinkened from the cold. Strands of her hair lay disarrayed and windswept. Her toes curl and uncurl inside her socks, feet idly kicking along the floor.

    Mizuki must still be staring, because Ena’s eyes narrow at her. “Were you waiting behind the door the entire time?”

    “Maybe I just wanted to surprise you. A surprise welcome, you could say,” she teases, because it’s better than admitting that she had been doing exactly that, overcome by nervous excitement for tonight.

    She needs to get herself together. Come on, Mizuki. Ena’s always been this pretty. It shouldn’t be any different now, even if it is because Ena is in her house for the first time.

    Or: Having recently started dating, Mizuki and Ena have their first sleepover (among other firsts).

    Summary

    “Hold that thought,” says Reigen. “The spirit isn’t the protagonist. The spirit is, no offence intended, the villain. The spirit is the obstacle our hero must overcome before reaching his happy ending.”

    “Oh, no,” the spirit says. “No, not at all. I see this story as more of a tragedy. Suffering in life, suffering in death. The futile attempts of one spirit to find happiness, before being snuffed out at the very brink of success. You should emphasise that theme. And I also don’t like the pacing.”

    (Trapped on the job with an unfriendly spirit, Reigen decides to buy himself time by telling it his longest, most thrilling, and most factually accurate story yet.)

    Summary

    It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”

    Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”

    “Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”

    (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

    Summary

    [image: A boy, maybe fourteen, stands on the porch of the Fujiwara household in a brand new school uniform. Slung over one shoulder is an old but well-loved leather messenger bag. In his hand is a brightly wrapped bento. The boy, although smiling, looks nervous.]

    Summary

    Agott was in love with her best friend, and she needed a plan.

    A plan on how to keep living with her feelings, but without acting sappy or gross or overly affectionate. A plan that would let her appreciate Coco’s kindness without making it painfully obvious that she liked her. A plan that wouldn’t end in a straight-up romantic confession on her part.

    You couldn’t just tell your best friend you liked them. Everyone knew that.


    Sixteen-year-old Agott devises a system for dealing with a crush. It goes about as well as one might expect.
