    Summary

    A line of fire ran down his spine and into his guts, pain mingling with desire and irritation and nostalgia as the long blade of a familiar tanto bit into his skin. Blood trickled down his neck to stain the crisp white collar of his good work shirt, and he felt a sense of profound relief, as if someone had finally lanced some horrible, festering wound. “Get out of my cab, Majima,” Kiryu said.

    In the summer of 2012, a man wanders into Nagasugai, gives a group of punks a well-deserved beatdown, and unwittingly sends the entire city spiraling into an intense inter-familial conflict. Of course, this isn't Taichi Suzuki's problem, and if his boyfriend happens to be in town with a big knife and a penchant for making bad situations worse, well, that's none of his business, either.

    Summary

    “I think he can’t come today!”

    Akechi startles. Embarrassing. Yoshizawa is hardly unobtrusive. The street lights of the January evening pick up the shocking red of her hair and the sparkle of her eyes. She moves like a dancer, as if every step might become a graceful leap. Strangers she passes smile to see her go. She’s full of sparkle this week; the wilting flower performance of the first half of January is all over, and she’s started tying her hair up again in what is probably—

    Akechi doesn’t care about this. Why does he still notice these things? It doesn’t matter.

     

    —probably a sincere tribute to her dead sister, rather than a tragic imitation.

     

    Spend long enough playing the detective, and some sad and pointless part of you can’t stop pretending.

    Summary

    On the morning of February 4th, most of a decade ago, Akechi wakes with a start, stares blindly up at the tiles of the ceiling without registering what he’s looking at, and says out loud, “Well, that’s embarrassing.”
