    Summary:

    “Do you like me, Arima?”

    That was as direct as Aqua could be. Kana sputtered, unable to even compose a sentence. She couldn’t move now, trapped against the railing. He could feel her body shiver. From fear, maybe? Her lips parted, and she stared at him in what could only be bewildered shock. He should stop this. Remaining on friendly terms with Arima was more beneficial in the long run. She’d play her role in his film expertly. If she were in emotional turmoil, she wouldn’t put out an optimal performance. He needed this film to be successful. If he were going to use her, then what he was doing now was counterproductive.

    He knew that well.

    And yet – the rage inside of him only grew. Why did she look at him like that? So surprised, like she couldn’t believe he was doing this. Couldn’t believe that he was speaking to her like this. There was something sick inside of him – some deep chasm that oozed and pulsated like a wound left to fester and rot. I’d use even you, Arima Kana, he thought, raising a hand and pinching her chin in between his forefinger and thumb.

     

    You shouldn’t trust me.

    Summary

    He plopped his candy back into his mouth, “I think you’re good, but you’re no hotshot.” Mitsuru blinked, furrowing her brows in accusation at the boy despite her sights remaining on the road. “Formula 1 drivers would have had their moment of fame, got their money, wouldn’t do petty street races. So, Artemisia,” he cooed, side-eyeing her. “what’s your angle?”

    Perhaps it was a genuine question masked in his accusing tone. She harbored no ill intent towards him, his inquiry valid due to Artemisia’s enigmatic nature. Granted, it was silly on her behalf to grow defensive over it and there were several ways she could have tackled his question. Mitsuru Kirijo would have kept her cool head, grant him an appropriate, neutral response.

    Mitsuru Kirijo was not here, though.

    Summary

    Yuri might be a dirty, conniving bastard, a bird hiding sharp talons behind a sweet song. But he has never bitten the hand of anyone who's fed him-- and Ashe was a part of the team that quelled Lord Lonato and the Western Church.

    To say he doesn't trust Ashe is an understatement.

    Ashe is a rags-to-riches fairytale; Yuri doesn't believe in easy happily ever afters.

    Summary

    [ MAJOR V3 SPOILERS ]

    He glances around and sees Maki and Himiko in their own pods, putting up various degrees of struggle. “What…” Shuuichi croaks, winces.

    “The killing game!” One of the people - a man with dirty yellow hair and a grey suit underneath his coat - smiles with a smile so fake that had it not been for his words, Saihara would’ve punched him. “It wasn’t real.”

    It wasn’t real.

    It wasn’t real.
