    Summary

    Everyone is born with six digits imprinted onto the inside of their left wrist, displaying a time of 24 hours. When a pair is fated to meet, the timer counts down to the moment that they lock eyes, zeroing out. And when the pair cements their bond with a kiss, the date of their anniversary replaces the six zeores, deepening their connection and tying their souls together from then on.

    It's all textbook, Hide knows, and he can't wait to meet his other half, the romantic that he is. He's an up-and-coming Investigator in the 20th Ward, and his life is pretty much ideal, save for the lack of an aforementioned soulmate. As Hide will discover, though, the world doesn't always play by the rules, and things aren't always as they seem.

     

    It’s hard to see in the darkness, but Hide scans up the dark leather body suit with mounting fear until he reaches the gruesome mask of teeth, open to reveal a frown. He finally musters up the courage to look his attacker, this ghoul, in the eye, just as the persistent twinge in his wrist suddenly stops. The whole world suddenly stops. Nothing exists beyond the two of them, and Hide, inexplicably, unreasonably, is no longer afraid.

    Summary

    Kurusu leans forward and says, “Look. You do deserve to feel this bad. I’m sorry, but you do. But you don’t deserve to be alone while you deal with it. So I’ll leave now if you want me to, but I’m coming back tomorrow. All right?” Goro wipes his face with his sleeve and glowers at him: Great Akira the Moralizer, who knows exactly what everyone else deserves. Perfect, beloved Akira.

    After Akira's interrogation, the Phantom Thieves try to change Akechi’s heart—but it takes more than that to get the bastard prince of Tokyo on your side.

    Summary

    “You need to,” he tells Teru again, in his tiny yellow kitchen. “Please help me. Please just, just do whatever you did to break your side of the curse. Break mine too. And then we can never talk about any of this again. Please,” Ritsu forces out again, when Teru says nothing, only listens, watching him with that same mild, sociable interest. “Before it gets worse. Before anything… happens.”

    “What’s in it for me?” asks Teru.

    (Opportunities for psychic self-improvement can be found anywhere, if you're looking. Ritsu isn't, but Teru's far too selfless to let that stop him.)
