Summary
The bell rung above him, the last time for a long time—
"Huh... Kid, wait!" Sojiro held up a plain envelope from his stack. "This one's addressed to you." He flipped it around, squinting. "No return address, though."
He took the offered envelope, looking it over.
The handwriting…
Akira viciously smothered the hope, because it was impossible. No matter how similar it looked to case notes and essays seen in brief, upside-down flashes across the counter before his attention was drawn away by gloved hands wrapping around a coffee mug and the glint of wine eyes.
His heart beat a staccato rhythm against his chest despite himself, uncaring of how devastating this would be if he was wrong.
He slid his finger beneath the envelope's lip, gently tearing it open. Inside was a small piece of paper. It held one sentence, scrawled in blue ink.
'Hold onto my glove.'Series

Summary
"I'm… having trouble sleeping," Akira admitted lowly, kicking at a pebble beneath his shoe. "In general."
He glanced up as the silence hung a moment too long, ready for his dismissal, and saw an internal war taking place behind Akechi's eyes instead.
Finally, "Come with me." and Akechi turned on a heel and marched away.
Akira blinked, caught off guard. Akechi didn't turn to check Akira was doing as tasked, so sure that he would. Akira smiled fondly. Akechi's choice surprised him, but it was far from unwelcome.
He jogged to catch up, settling at Akechi's side. He didn't even think to ask where Akechi was leading him, just… content to be at his side again.

Summary
He never fell asleep around other people. Especially not in a cafe attic that didn't even have a door, let alone a lock, with
the boy he was to killhis rival singing just feet away. People weren't safe. Kurusu wasn't, couldn't be, an exception.Goro's book fell from his hands into his lap. He barely noticed, lashes fluttering shut with the determination to stay that way. He tilted sideways, head far too heavy to hold up a second longer. His descent slowed by pillows until he was flat against the bed, the world fell away.

Summary
The glass of the Rage Vial was thin and delicate, like sugar glass: if Akechi wasn’t careful and applied a bit too much pressure, it could very well shatter all over his hand. This was purposeful, as it was easier to throw a potion on an enemy than force the concoction down their throat. If Joker refused to comply, he might have to do just that.
Joker came closer, as if to confirm what he was seeing. His eyes flitted up to Akechi’s beneath his mask, not even needing to vocalize his ‘why?’
“It’s like you said,” Akechi explained, “we don’t want to leave anything unresolved, do we?”
In a final ditch attempt to prolong the inevitable, Ren challenges Akechi to a rematch on his last night alive. Unfortunately for him, Akechi has a surprise planned to level the playing field and set the score straight, once and for all.

Summary
"Why did you invite me here?" Akira asked quickly, not thinking the words through as much as he normally would. Especially around Akechi.
Akechi's lips twitched down. "Pardon?"
So near the end of Sae's palace Akechi can invite you to jazz jin before your "deal is up" even though he plans on killing you literally like 2 or 3 days after which serves no purpose to him other than to see you since your duel is probably over at this point and isn't that so interesting?
