Summary
The words such as irreversible brain damage, spinal cord injury all went over Akira’s head. He barely listened to the doctor with eyes fixed on the small figure on the hospital bed. He couldn’t help but think that Goro finally looks peaceful. The disgusting part of him thought it might be for the better.
Better. That’s when it dawned on him.
Goro Akechi would never get better. Goro Akechi would spend the rest of his days confined to a hospital bed.
In January of 201X, Goro Akechi is found again.
In January of 201X, Akira Kurusu's life ends.

Summary
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is full of shit, Akira thinks.
How can you define grief as five measly stages? How can you define grief at all? Akira shoves his hands into his messy curls and lets out a groan while sitting at Leblanc’s counter.
Grief is not all that simple to Akira. It comes in spurts, in squiggles, in lines, in blobs. It’s not nearly close to linear, and it’s not even close to five stages. Maybe ten. Maybe twenty. Hell, to him, it seems like the stages are endless. He’s stuck in a loop of grievance that shows no pity towards him.
Or, Akira never thought he'd have to incorporate Maruki's lesson on the five stages of grief into his own life.

Summary
Several thousand years ago, King Yaldaboath purged the Unseelie from the Summer Kingdom and sealed the Barrier, permanently separating the two realms and sparing the Seelie from the Darkening, a wasting disease spread by the Unseelie. The Seelie lived in peace under the King's rule until, mysteriously, the Darkening began to return, ravaging outlying towns and stirring panic everywhere.
Tucked away in the Summer Court, Goro has more immediate concerns: pleasing his cold and duplicitous father, maintaining his toothless and friendly facade, and hiding his own treasonous aspirations. The arrival of an enigmatic new page certainly doesn't help things. Akira is magnetic and unusually interested in him and Goro finds himself increasingly distracted. When the Darkening comes to their front door, Goro and Akira set out to discover the cause of the outbreak, but the answers they find throw everything about the world as they know it into question.

Summary
Goro Akechi's wings don't move.
Sure, Akira's seen them move. He's seen them ruffle with pleasure at a joke and flare slightly to accompany a passionate speech. But all of that happens on TV. It's all on purpose. When Akechi isn't intentionally acting, his wings don't move.
And it's weird.
Or: 5 times Akechi's wings were honest with Akira and 1 time they both tried to use their words.

Summary
Sumire feels the weight of a year forgotten crash onto her shoulders.
Wasn’t their deadline February third?
And -oh no- It’s April, how had she not noticed entire months passing in Maruki’s false reality? She checks her phone, and does a double take.
April 4, 2016
2016? But- wasn’t it?
No. Oh no.
“Shoot.” She hisses under her breath.
Well, Sumire thinks somewhat hysterically, it's at least an improvement over being trapped in Maruki’s reality.
---
After Ren makes the wrong decision at the end of the world, Sumire Yoshizawa is thrown a year into the past, with the vague goal of making things right.This would, of course, be a significantly easier task if she had any idea what she’s supposed to do.
