    Summary

    Joy is something that doesn’t come easy to him; but for the past three months, all he felt was that emotion. The feeling on the ball hitting against the tennis racket, the squeak of the shoe against the court, the laughter and cheers of all his friends he made during these three months.

    Soft tennis was fun. Playing with his friends was fun. Everything about it was fun.

    So why was he standing on the edge of the bridge, looking at the night sky for the last time?

    *-or my takeaway of eps 12-*

    Summary

    Upon meeting, there was one thing Kawata Nahoya and Haitani Ran could agree on : they didn't like each other.
    .
    .

    Fuck it. He closed his eyes, counted to three, and opened them while placating his usual distant, grinning expression. Without a word, he stretched his arms, got on his feet and lazily cleaned himself up. He forced a yawn, for good measures. Then he turned back, focused on Smiley's forehead to avoid looking at his eyes and winked as he said :

    "I should go. Before someone notices we're gone."
    .
    All in all, Ran would have a whole decade to reflect on anything he should've, could've, said other than "I should go" that night.

    Summary

    He thought he was finally starting to get the picture. He was finally starting to see underneath that damn mask, behind those irritating words and actions, the real him. But he was wrong.

    So incredibly, painfully fucking wrong.

    Isagi isn't only skilled at reading the field—he's always had a knack for reading people too. At least, that's what he thought until he met the most insufferable soccer genius to have ever existed: Michael Kaiser. Kaiser, who's been harassing Isagi and getting in his way since day one; Kaiser, who beyond all doubt could've been nothing more than a simple, arrogant, self-centered asshole; Kaiser, who despite all of that, he can't stop thinking about for some goddamn reason—he can't stop his feelings of hatred, entangling with both awe and curiosity, and he can't stop the chain of events that he set off spiraling out of control, all leading up to a reality darker than anything he ever encountered before: the bitter truth behind the naked emperor.

    Update 31-05: Sorry guys, I'm simply terrible at estimating time correctly. Next chapter's ~80% done, but will still need some time. Thanks for your patience.

    Summary

    Norton wasn't quite sure if it was pure luck that he found out one of the most irritating inhabitants in the manor actually turned out to be somewhat tolerable, or if he was actually going insane from that one time William accidentally smacked his head into Valden's door a little too hard. (Maybe it was a little bit of both.)
