    Summary

    “Zugzwang. It was a chess term, one that described an endgame situation of massive disadvantage. A single move that changed the outcome of the game from a win to a loss. Rei didn’t know what Shinichi meant by that. But it couldn’t be good.”

    When a case goes wrong and Conan is kidnapped, Akai and Rei work to unravel his clues and get him back in one piece. But there’s much more at stake than it first appears, and the tension pushes Rei and Akai to the brink of fracture. And Conan’s determined to bring down the White Rabbit criminal syndicate—even if it costs his life.

    Luckily, he’s got two people who will never let that happen.

    Summary

    Life had never really been the kindest to Joyce Byers. She supposes it would feel wrong of it to start now.

     

    But, with something of a smile crossing her face, she thinks that life had never been the kindest to Jim Hopper either. That they would always have, just for themselves, that shared cigarette, that faith in each other. That sometimes she would rather be saving the world instead of having a safe telemarketing job in California. That the Lenora house was of course a house, but Hopper’s arms in Kamchatka and his hands keeping her steady in a helicopter over Alaska and being a detective by his side in Hawkins, the most sleepy, most unassuming town in the world—that felt something like home.

     

    Or, the one where Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper finally have a moment to themselves.
