   Summary

   2005 is the year when everything quite literally goes up in smoke for Goro Majima.

   2006 is the year when he rebuilds.

   (set directly post-Kiwami, written as a Majima-centric companion piece for 'Ephemerality'. Might not make a whole lot of sense if you haven't read that one first, but can mostly be read on its own, minus a few key scenes.)
