    Summary

    Will breathes hard against his lips for an eternity, familiar and sated, the silence around them unbroken, until—

    “I wish this was real.”

    James flinches.

    “It is,” he promises. “It is real.”

    Summary

    Even at night, it’s never fully quiet.

    No matter where he goes, the subtle buzz of the power lines follow him. It doesn’t matter if he’s inside or outside, if it’s day or night. The sound is always there, ringing in the back of his brain with just the right frequency to drive him to a point of discomfort and irritation.

    Summary

    Adachi likes eating dinner by himself.

    He’s spent most of his life doing so, so it’d be a bit depressing if he didn’t. It’s become routine for him after work to stop by Junes, grab an overpriced, shitty microwave meal, and retreat to his apartment to eat in solitude. He doesn’t mind it; eating with or without company makes no difference to him. Really, he thinks it’s better that he spends his nights alone. If he didn’t, it’d just be more time spent keeping up the facade of being a bumbling rookie, more time spent lying to every person he makes contact with.

    However, like most things in his life as of late, normalcy has took an abrupt turn.

    Summary

    The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.

    In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.

    So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?

    (Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)

    Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!
