Summary
Eito smiles, in the exact same way he always did before.
“I’ve never hated you more than this moment,” he says.
Takumi doesn’t let himself think about it any further. He rests the tip of the knife against the side of Eito’s neck, and pushes it in.
(After too many loops, Takumi's cryptoglobin becomes unstable. The best method for treating it is a blood transfusion, and the best option for that, willing or no, is Eito. But sharing cryptoglobin so directly also shares memories, and sharing too much blurs the memories together. As far as Takumi and Eito are concerned, they've known each other since childhood. And the relationship they've suddenly always had isn't a healthy one.)

Summary
”Oh, is that ugly Takumi I spy?” came floating to his ears from the cage in the center of the yard, and yeah, of course nothing about this place was going to calm Takumi’s nerves.
”Sure is,” Takumi bit back, learning by now that Eito does this just to get a rise out of him. He’s better off if he doesn’t make a fuss. Takumi made his way over to the cage, examining his target. Eito looked relatively relaxed; he was on his side, laying propped up on one arm with a book laid out beside him. How he didn’t feel sore from reclining on the hard cage floor, Takumi would never understand. “I brought you breakfast.”

The Secret Catalogue by spacepirate

Summary
“Ah, Sumino! You found the secret catalogue, I see. Nice work, only one other person has so far,” Sirei’s voice says in the absolute silence of the empty Rec Room as the little robot appears next to him out of nowhere.
Takumi yells and tries to cover the screen to hide what he’s been looking at. God, this can’t be happening, why does he always show up when you least want him to?!
“C’mon now, don’t be embarrassed! We have those for a reason. Humanity figured that putting a bunch of young adults in close proximity for so long was bound to result in some, uh,” Sirei clears his throat, “some shenanigans, and it was decided since it’s inevitable, you all might as well have the tools to go about it safely.”
To Takumi, this is as bad as his father giving him the sex talk. This is worse, since he can’t escape like he had then. Sirei is standing between him and the exit to the Gift-o-Matic’s console room.
“So go ahead! Make whatever your heart desires! And you can choose to delete crafting history for items from the secret catalogue.”
And as suddenly as he’d shown up, Sirei is gone.
