    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Sumire says, covering a sniffle with the back of her glove. “This is so embarrassing…”

    “Do you—” Futaba starts to offer, but her voice fails.

    Sumire’s still looking at her expectantly.

    Futaba awkwardly waggles her hand in the scant space between them. “Would it help if you… held my hand?”

    For Futaba, returning to the true reality is a daunting prospect — she and Sumire have that in common. It's hard to drag her out of the tar pit when they're both sinking in it.

    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.

    Summary

    Jaibo had always wanted to play God; fitting, then, that he'd be usurped by one deified unwillingly.

    Summary

    Klavier is having trouble finding his footing at the Prosecutor's Office after his closest associates were convicted of horrific crimes they used their connections to him to facilitate. No one trusts him enough to take on any important cases, and without Daryan, Kristoph, or the band, he's all alone, with no distractions from the one person who could take away all of his pain—Lamiroir. With no other recourse, he visits his brother in prison for whatever support he might be able to provide—and finds himself embroiled in something worse than he could ever have imagined.

    Apollo is getting tired of being pushed around and expected to do things that have nothing to do with the law. Clean the toilets, babysit a sixteen-year-old who is also somehow his boss, train the new employee, do literally everything that Phoenix doesn't want to do...When his best friend dies and he has no one left to trust, he turns to someone who always helped and appreciated him in the past—his former mentor (and lover), Kristoph. But what Kristoph reveals changes everything.

    Summary

    Yukino can't stand the way Maya gets away with escaping everything.

    After defeating Maya's Shadow, Yukino can't help drawing comparisons to her longtime friend Maki Sonomura as Maya dodges hard questions, stares down but doesn't face her Shadow, and all the while, acts as a mentor figure to three teenagers rapidly taking on her avoidant mentality to cope with their troubles. It's not fair, not after everything she's been through.

    Distrust is the killer of relationships though, along with its friends, resentment, jealousy, and contempt. As the first creeps into Yukino's life, she has to face the problems she's avoided since meeting Maya Amano, and how she's going to keep their undefinable relationship alive. Is it even worth saving? She has to fight for something, whether it's them, being the best person she can be, or facing Maya with the consequences of her actions.

    Maybe, in the end, it'll be her who has to reckon with her choices; same as it's always been.
