    Summary

    “Amami-kun?” Gonta prompts. Their voice is gentle, but uncertain. When they open their mouth again, it’s probably to apologise, so Rantaro speaks first.

    “Spaced off again,” Rantaro says. He ties the last knot on his skates and stands up. Despite everything, he doesn’t waver as the blades hit the carpet, but of course keeping his balance off the ice was never an issue. A part of Rantaro is still relieved, though, and even more so when Gonta instinctively reaches out to steady him. He doesn’t really need it, but there’s something about having Gonta near, looking at him, holding his elbow… it makes him feel calmer. Even if this goes terribly, they’ll just go out for coffee afterwards and make plans to try again another day.

    This isn’t your last shot, Rantaro reminds himself, closing his eyes and taking a breath. The ice isn’t going anywhere, and you aren’t either, if you’ll quit being a coward about it.

    “I’m ready, Gonta,” Rantaro manages, looking up to meet their gaze.

    ---

    A year after his career ending head injury, Rantaro finally steps back onto the ice.

    Summary

    “I’m not your minion,” Maki sighs, before reluctantly making her way over. “...What do you mean, expand your vast empire?” She stops when she’s close enough to peer over Gonta’s broad shoulder—he’s quite tall even while kneeling—and look down at his handiwork.

    “Isn’t it obvious?” Kokichi huffs, drawing Maki from her thoughts. “I’m having Gonta prepare my army! And now that you’re here, I can force you to do the same! Go grab a shovel and gloves, I have a lot of minions to sprout!”

    He gestures out at a formidable army of potted saplings, all laid out across the courtyard behind them. It’s a chilly day, wet and cloudy and hardly the sort Maki would choose to plant trees. It seems kind of miserable, actually, despite Gonta and Kokichi’s smiles.

    Maki doesn’t turn and walk away yet, though, directing her attention towards Gonta. “You’re preparing his army?”

    “We are planting trees,” Gonta explains.

    Maki comes across two of her classmates in the courtyard. She ends up bonding with them in a way she hadn't expected.

    In the days following Akira Kurusu's "suicide", he finds himself realizing that being holed up in Leblanc all the time might not be the best for him, considering he's come to the conclusion he might not be alone in here.
