    Summary

    What did their life look like from Olruggio’s eyes, Qifrey wondered. Did he too lie awake and restless long after saying goodnight, wondering why he slept alone?… How did moths, so entranced by the light of fire, know to stay far enough away lest that flame hurt them? Was it some primordial memory that survived passed down on instinct?

    Perhaps Olruggio was the same; maybe even now he wished to confess his secret feelings but some instinct deep down whispered, “turn back, don’t get too close - it will hurt you.”

    · · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

    Olruggio invites Qifrey to a party. Sadly, Qifrey has a wonderful time.

    Summary

    “Suguru,” a voice that sends him into a feverish state, like it’s his body’s muscle memory, “holding my hand after telling me we can’t be friends? How forward.”

    Suguru turns on his stool and stares, heart all broken open. He’s too tipsy and filled with too much want, all spilling out from him, something no timed smoking break can contain. When did it ever? All his careful lies, all the rules he has lived by, tumble down inside him when he meets Gojo Satoru’s eyes again for the first time in almost two years. It feels like the first breath he has taken in a very very long time.

    “Oh,” Suguru manages, vision swimming with cerulean and snow white, “there you are.”

    Gojo smiles at him, smirks at him, and a crashing wave of sense memory washes over Suguru at the sight.

    “Here I am.” Gojo agrees easily, slides onto the stool in front of Suguru, eyes gleaming. He doesn’t let go of Suguru’s hand, just plays with his fingers as he leans in close, a faint scent of amaretto and something citrus. “Now,” he murmurs, taps his foot against Suguru’s gently, “what are you going to do about it this time, hmm?”

    Summary

    Coda (noun)
    co· da ; ˈkō-də

    Something that serves to round out, conclude, or summarize and usually has its own interest, a concluding part of a literary or dramatic work.

    In music, a concluding musical section that is formally distinct from the main structure, introduced to bring a piece or movement to a satisfactory close.

     

    --

    Music is a niche industry where only the strongest survive, beautiful in its practice but corrupt in the invisible things, the things that matter. It is of no wonder that the industry in Tokyo was doomed to face repercussions, but nobody probably expected that artists of all kinds were to drop dead one by one in the span of several weeks.

    Suguru Geto has developed a purpose, a performance of his own, if you will -- to cleanse and rid the music scene in Japan from the poison that threatens to overtake it. It is that precisely that drives him towards Satoru Gojo, a lonesome virtuoso born within the profession, who just so happens to be completely undeterred by the prospect of becoming the newest target to the mysterious murderer. It is in this way, their duet writes itself.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Utahime says, massaging her temples, “you know what?”

    “No.” Satoru says, and stares at the DM from Suguru so hard his vision starts to blur.

    “Gojo Satoru.” She snaps her fingers in front of his face, disturbing his hyper-locked in view of the phone screen, and he blinks, the world coming back into focus.

    “Huh?” He says.

    “Okay, I have known you since you were, what? Twelve? Thirteen?”

    Satoru makes an iffy sort of hand gesture. It was somewhere around there, who knows really. He can’t remember all that.

    “Okay, so I say this with the full weight of well over a decade of…” She pauses, thinking.

    “Friendship.” He supplies, nodding.

    She stares at him dead-eyed.

    “Acquaintanceship?” He tries, failing to stop the pout.

    “Proximity.” She decides firmly.

    Summary

    Emergency.

    Satoru's hurt.

    The messages come rapid-fire. There's nothing but blind panic and a steady stream of Satoru, Satoru, Satoru, echoing in his mind.

    or, Satoru gets hit by a curse. Suguru tries to deal. They figure it out.
