    Summary

    His blue eyes considered her for a moment before he shrugged. “Your gun’s pretty loud. Figured if you were still stomping around then it wasn’t on your side of the building.”

    “I do not ‘stomp’,” she said, indignantly, barely holding in the urge to actually stomp at that comment. "Nevermind that, why are you always meddling with my hunts?"

    This was her fifth run-in with Neku Sakuraba. Fifth!

    Summary

    “This guy," Shiki says, "I know you’ve mentioned him before, but... what does he look like?”
    “Well, ” Eri starts, “about our age, I think? Ashy blond hair, violet eyes, looks a little like a model. I’ve thought about asking him to do a promo shoot with us, but he’s hard to pin down.”
    There is a flicker of recognition in Shiki’s expression. “Do you know his name?” she asks quietly.
    “That’s about the only thing I know about him,” Eri chuckles, “it’s Joshua.”
    Shiki stares at Eri as though she’s seen a ghost. Or perhaps as though Eri has seen a ghost, which might be more accurate.

    Summary

    Joshua hears two songs at the same time, one in each of his ears. Looks ten measures into the future, twenty, the whole damn page. Someone has to lay out the tempo, tend to the arrangement, make sure no stray notes remain when his Conductor goes out to show the world what a real symphony sounds like.

    Or: the Composer's perspective on his Games.

    Summary

    “Oh.” And then. “Well, I wanna be a guard!”

    “That’s a big decision. What makes you so sure?” Joshua asks, standing and stretching out. He’s so tall.

    Neku sits down, weaving the flowers together like his mom taught him. “I wanna protect my momma and my dad, and the people in my village! I wanna make sure everyone has good lives! If the guards can let people be peaceful, I wanna do that!”

    “Even if it’s at the cost of peace for yourself?”
