Summary
When Shinjiro reaches for his chest, he feels the weight of his own hand against his sternum. He can feel his heart beating, a little fast, beneath his ribcage. Everything is by all rights where it ought to be.
Which isn’t how it ought to be.
“What the hell is going on?” Shinjiro redirects his attention to his leader. Yuki fidgets with the piece of his hair that obscures one of his eyes. He’s contemplative, not that he ever makes it easy to tell. Shinjiro waits as long as he can bear for Yuki to come up with an answer, which isn’t very long at all; within a few moments, he’s rephrasing his question to get to the heart of the matter. “Why am I alive?”
“...It’s complicated,” Yuki says at last. “Sanada-senpai… intervened.” He frowns, the hand he’d been using to fidget uncurling so his hair falls back over his cheek. The hand itself then drops to his lap. “It was… a last resort, so you shouldn’t be angry at him.”
---
To save Shinjiro's life on October 4th, Akihiko turns him into a werewolf.

Summary
“Oh? Okay. You have a good memory.” Rantaro offers a smile, though he’s a little disappointed for the excursion to have ended so soon. “In that case, I’ll—”
Rantaro stops talking. More specifically, he is stopped by the sight of a blade, glistening, aimed directly at his jugular. And isn’t that something. Not the first time Rantaro’s seen one of these, of course, and not even the first time it’s ever been aimed at him—but damn, is it a little closer than usual.
“Uh, huh,” Rantaro says. “Okay. So I’m guessing the bathroom was a ploy to get me alone.”
The woman’s eyes have hardened dangerously; she presses in closer, the tip of her blade mere centimetres from Rantaro’s throat. “Don’t speak. You’re not going to make this any easier on yourself with small talk.”
---
Prince Rantaro comes across an unfamiliar face at a social function, then quickly realises why.

Summary
Well, Ouma was kind of joking. But he wasn’t kidding that he can’t die like this. Unless Amami gets a silver tooth, the worst that’ll happen is that Ouma passes out for a while and then wakes up once his blood has sufficiently replenished itself. Besides, no matter how hungry Amami lets himself get, he’s never taken more than Ouma has offered. He rarely even takes the full amount. So Ouma isn’t scared of this—and admittedly, though he understands the person that Amami is, he still fails to understand why Amami continuously refuses to seek him out.
Maybe it’s just hard, to ask someone for something as vital as their blood, even willingly offered. Ouma can’t pretend like he wouldn’t be the same, in Amami’s situation. But it’s real easy to be holy given that he isn’t.
“Come on,” Ouma prods, “you look totally miserable, Amami-chan, and that’s no lie.”
---
Amami does the same thing as he always does, so Ouma makes sure he's taking care of himself. Simple as that.

Summary
When Akihiko thinks about it now, he realizes that it never really settled into any one image. It changed every year: what the holidays looked like, where and who he celebrated with, and how he had felt during them. There was no binding fabric, no consistency or pattern. A year passed and something new would flip over like the next card in a rolling index.
He doesn’t know why he’s thinking about all this. In his experience, nothing good comes from ruminating on the past. And yet he keeps finding his mind wandering, and his sense wandering with it.
It’s a bad habit.
Akihiko and his complicated feelings about the holidays.

Summary
“For the past seven months,” Vash begins, “there has been one night per month where Wolfwood has just disappeared from the apartment.”
“Which are also the nights that Chapel took his last seven victims,” Meryl repeats. Chapel being the freaky assassin/serial killer who has been terrorising their small town for the past year or so. The majority of these killings have seemed to have some kind of political motive—but not all of them. A few of the victims have been wealthy heirs or prominent celebrities, too. But the fact remains—
“I thought it was just a freaky coincidence at first. I mean, Wolfwood’s… a college student, and a barista. There’s no way he’s actually…” He lets out a laugh, and it’s reedy, betraying his nerves. Vash winds his fingers through the hair on the back of his head and thinks idly it might be time for a trim. “But then there were the other things—like the way he stopped that car from hitting Millie.”
Millie nods sagely. “That was very impressive. The car dented!”
---
Vash trusts his roommate of almost a year, but not to a fault. He'd have to be an idiot to ignore the clear warning signs, and they all point to Wolfwood being... a serial killer.

Summary
Maki pulls away from the girl’s touch instinctively, wrinkling her nose. “No. Mind your own business.”
Mikan flinches. “I-I’m sorry, I was just—” Her eyes well with tears as she shrinks back, and Maki watches, frowning. She… hadn’t been expecting the girl to just cower like that, although maybe she should’ve, given how timid Mikan seems to be. Not that they’ve ever talked before, but anyone could see that Mikan is a bit on the weaker side, especially emotionally. Maki shouldn’t care, especially because the less she divulges the less questions Mikan will ask, but…
Well, she’s fine in first aid, but having someone more experienced to look over it would probably be helpful. Beyond that, seeing Mikan sniffle kind of makes Maki’s chest twinge.
“Nevermind.” Maki turns her head away. “Forget what I said—I am injured. My ankle is twisted.”
---
Maki comes in late with a twisted ankle. Mikan is still up to look after her.

Summary
Rantaro’s head swivels. Angie is sitting just a few feet away from Rantaro, facing away. Even turned in the wrong direction, Rantaro can see that she is breathing, her back rising and falling with each even breath. It hadn’t been uncommon for Rantaro to find Angie meditating like she seems to be doing now, and it’s always seemed rude to interrupt someone so tranquil, but—Rantaro has so many questions. What is this place? How did he get here? What’s with the statues? What’s happened to the killing ga—
The killing game. A renewed sense of urgency grips Rantaro and he shuffles over on his knees. “Hey, Angie-san—” His hand extends to take her by the shoulder, but just as his fingertips brush her back, Angie turns around and beams at him.
“Oh, the ritual was a success!” Angie exclaims.
Rantaro blinks. “The ritual?”
---
Angie enters a different room for her candle and as a result, Rantaro comes back to life. The game doesn't just stop there, though.

Summary
But it isn’t Akamatsu or Gokuhara or even Saihara who shows up at Ouma’s door. In fact, nobody shows up at Ouma’s door at all. He opens the door himself and steps out into the hallway, a mask hanging from his wrist, and turns around to lock up, when he hears a thud behind him, and then—
“Ouma?”
It’s a rich, intense voice that Ouma still hears every night when he dreams. His body aches in two places, his upper arm and his back, and still he turns around, something less like fear and more like hope making his breath hitch. He stares hard at Momota, trying to figure out if he’s real, trying to figure out if they’re in the hangar again, and then a flash of green blocks his vision, and he sees that Momota isn’t alone.
“Oh!” Amami Rantaro, elusive, distrustful Amami Rantaro, who died in a matter of days after stupidly promising to end a game that was rigged against him, smiles at Ouma like he’s not a murderer.

Ouma struggles to find meaning after the game.

Summary
"Villain or no, you're pretty interesting, Ouma-kun. We should hang out more sometime," Rantaro suggests.
And, oh, Rantaro's so close, is the thing. His smile really is so handsome, and the crinkles in the corners of his eyes really do look so charming. But Kokichi can see what other people can't: he can see the strings pulling up the corners of Rantaro's mouth, the threaded hooks pulling his eyes into the perfect facsimile of genuine friendliness. It's so close to normal, but the sliver of a gap between Rantaro and normal upsets the whole thing, like a single hair ruins a whole bowl of soup.
Kokichi's fascinated. He needs to study this man.

Kokichi gets in over his head, but what else is new for him?

Summary
Above him and to his left, a light body plants itself on the mattress of his bed. The springs creak beneath them. Momota doesn’t move right away, still staring vacantly into his hands, only reacting when sneakered feet kick out in front of him, brushing against his arm.
“These games aren’t all that fun to win, are they?” The man who sat next to Momota has a young face but a tenor voice and dark violet eyes that glisten under the pale white lights. He doesn’t look at Momota, gaze affixed to the ceiling, but despite his words a small grin tugs at the corner of his mouth. “If I’d known I’d be playing such a violent game like this, I wouldn’t have signed up.”
Momota thinks he would’ve done the same, but even so… “You still came back.”
“Well, of course.” The man’s vibrant eyes dart down to meet Momota’s. That grin of his turns into more of a smirk. “Why wouldn’t I?”
---
Momota partners up with a mysterious man in an attempt to survive the third and fourth games.

Summary
“Awwww, I could ask you the same question, y’know!” Ouma opens his hand to reveal an empty palm, and when Momota groans, he beams, turning to wash his hands. He keeps talking while he lathers up, a broad grin on his face. “But the truth is, Momota-chan, I wanted to see you! I was just sooooo lonely without you, y’know, absolutely wasting away in my bedroom and wondering where you were! I had to go find you! Did I mention you’re the love of my life?”
“Cut the bullcrap, Ouma,” Momota sighs. He turns away from Ouma, rolling down another paper towel and ripping it off. There’s an almost imperceptible shake of his hand as he folds it in half to dry his hands, and it makes Ouma frown. “You don’t have to tell me nothin’ you don’t want to, but I don’t got the patience for your shit right now.”
He sounds… tired.
---
Ouma discovers Momota's illness, and Momota tends to Ouma's head after he hits the floorboards.
(And Ouma can't start getting attached to a dying man.)

Summary
today, though, momota lies awake, watching the red numbers blink on his digital clock, sneaking glances over at ouma, who has been lying on his back, staring up at the ceiling for the past half an hour now. he looks like a renaissance painting, or something, his dark hair fanning his head on the pillow, dark violet eyes half lidded, lips pursed in thought. momota wonders what he’s thinking. more than that, he wants to know what ouma is thinking, which isn’t so uncommon, but it’s one thing to want, it’s another thing to desire, and nowadays momota is finding more and more that he can’t tell the difference.
in the quiet, between pondering topics that could be running through his partner’s head, momota thinks, how did we get here?
and then ouma says, “this is the last time we’ll play this game.”
(or, momota and ouma are friends with benefits, and ouma declares that this is the end.)

Summary
But they got there. They’re here now, aren’t they? They’re okay. Kaito smiles at Rantaro, his eyes soft, and reaches out to take one of his hands, bringing his knuckles to his lips. He loves this man, so deeply and strongly. Sometimes it’s difficult to articulate.
“Hey there,” Rantaro says, and when Kaito looks down at his face, one of his eyes is cracked open, sparkling a little. “Thinking thoughts, there?”
“Just about how much I love you,” Kaito murmurs. He shifts Rantaro’s hand to kiss the inside of his wrist, the inside of his scar, and leans his cheek into Rantaro’s palm. “And about these scars.”
“Which ones? The ones on my wrists?” Rantaro shuffles slightly, to look at Kaito curiously. “What are you thinking about them?”

Kaito asks Rantaro how he got a couple scars.

Summary
Amami smiles, a touch wryly. “We’ve only been here a couple weeks, Ouma-kun. I don’t know if that’s enough time to get a feel for someone’s behavioural patterns.”
“To you, maybe,” Ouma shrugs, polishing his nails on his scarf. “That one’s a lie too, though. I don’t care enough about the bozos here to try memorising why they behave a certain way. I just get bored with annoying the rest of them sometimes and without my beloved Amami-chan there it’s suuuper sad. What’s the point of performing when you don’t have an audience?”
“Self-fulfillment?” Amami suggests.
“I think that’s just a term bullies make up to justify excluding people,” Ouma sniffs, and before Amami can try to figure out what the hell that means, he continues. “Anyways! I hate small talk, it’s boring.” As if Ouma’s prattling from just now could be considered small talk. “So I’m gonna cut to the chase. Why does Amami-chan hate his birthday so much?”

Amami plans to spend his birthday alone until Ouma comes poking his head up in his business.

Summary
Kaito huffs, flapping his hands a little. As a result, the popsicle slides clean off the wooden stick, and lands right back in the sand where it was before. Rantaro looks down at it when Kaito does, and for a moment, they both watch the ice melt in the hot sun, staining the sand electric blue. When they make eye contact again, they start laughing, harder than Rantaro was going before. “I think that was the universe telling me my popsicle is a lost cause,” Kaito manages, as he calms down, looking mournfully at the now-popsicle-less stick.
“I can buy you another one,” Rantaro offers. “I can get you an exact replica, in fact. The popsicle stand is right over there,” he points off some six yards to his right, grinning. “It’s free popsicle day for the Luminary of the Stars.”
Kaito scoffs at the title, averting his gaze.

“Alright, then,” Rantaro starts, tossing their head a little. “I’ve got your story. There was a crow, once.”
Kokichi scoffs. “Really? Your allegorical self-insert is a crow? That’s so Hot Topic of you, Taro-chan.”
“Who said this is my allegorical self-insert?” Rantaro frowns. “Maybe I come in later on in the story.”
“Puh-lease, Rantaro, everyone starts their fake-not-fake stories with their allegorical self-insert! People are lame and boring, remember?”
“Right, my bad,” Rantaro smiles, wryly. “Can I continue now?”

Kokichi asks Rantaro to tell him a story.

Ouma laughed again. “I’ve… always been alone, Momota-chan, it’s,” he winced, and sniffled, wiping away some of the tears on his cheek, “really not something that bothers me.” He shrugged. “You’re the one who’s surrounded by friends you don’t rely on, and I’m the one who didn’t have any friends to rely on in the first place. So it goes, nishishi.”
That little horse-like giggle of his had never felt so empty. Momota furrowed his brow, pressing his lips together, and felt something ugly, something sad flipping in his stomach. Ouma was talking about it like they were just characters, like everything they did was what they were meant to do, but that didn’t make any sense to Momota. He wasn’t the type to do what he was supposed to do. He didn’t like following guidelines or sticking to the rules. That wasn’t how he operated. He was the Luminary of the Stars, damnit.
And if Ouma was going to die, he wouldn’t be alone when it happened.

Momota and Ouma share a moment alone in the hangar.
