Summary
When Teru was ten years old, Reigen told him if he ever felt unsafe or uncomfortable during a job he could just say the word and they would leave. But Teru was tough and Teru was stubborn and four and a half years passed without him ever asking once to end a case early.
Figures the one time he did, the option would be stolen from him.
In more ways than one.

Summary
Real life wasn't a movie. It was never a child's responsibility to fight bad guys, even if they had the power to do so. It was up to adults to keep kids safe in a crisis, and while the world was doing its best to prove him wrong, Reigen was going to try his damnedest.
Because that was what he'd told Shigeo, and he was really tired of being a liar.

Courage and Friendship were the strongest of the Chosen. None of the others could compare to their raw fighting ability. That was what Baihumon had been telling them from day one. Communicating with the neighboring territories was for coordinating attacks when a threat fell close to a border.
Not for asking for help.
OR
In which Baihumon and Qinglongmon commit an egregious mistake and are forced to admit they know nothing about human relationships.

Summary
Natsuko stared. “Are you telling me that he scared himself into getting amnesia? From bad dreams?” That was absurd. What on earth? Just because this idiot doctor couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Takeru, he wanted it to be someone else’s fault? Takeru’s fault?
“I’m wondering if your son has been through anything that may have left him with emotional trauma-“
Natsuko's face stayed impressively blank. Inside, she screamed as loud as she could.

Summary
A happy gasp made her look up.
“You like Totoro?”
The boy across from her was bouncing in his seat. He was sitting on his knees in the chair, which Mommy told her not to do in school, but maybe his mommy let him.
Hikari looked back down at the tissues, Totoro’s wide smile grinning up at her from the plastic wrap.
She nodded.

Summary
A dozen rings and it went to voicemail.
Shigeo... Shigeo was a heavy sleeper. Teru didn’t need to panic. It was okay. It was going to be okay, Mrs. Kageyama told him. She told him she didn’t care if he woke up the whole house. He was going to wake up the whole house. He needed somebody. He needed help. He couldn’t do this.
Teru clicked on the landline.

Summary
Up until this moment, Reigen was sure that if he ever told a kid that Santa wasn't real, on Christmas no less, he would be the world's biggest asshole.
In what screwed-up world would that ever be considered an act of mercy?

Summary
An extended scene from the beach trip in chapter 17.
Sometimes the beach was a little too much. A little too crowded. A little too loud.
Sometimes Shigeo just needed a quiet place to think and have some time with different friends. Friends that didn't speak, that is. Specifically, some friends that had rather pretty shells and were less likely to pinch than their feisty cousins.

Summary
It had been an accident that they ended up that way, with one star partially overlapping the other. A product of Teru having too much fun jumping on the bed and not paying enough attention to where he was aiming. He had been annoyed when he realized they were jammed together, fully expecting the crooked one to flake off while he was sleeping. He might as well take it down now and move it.
But Shigeo had peered up at the pair and his eyes had gone soft.
“They look like they’re holding hands.”

Summary
Reigen Arataka assumed that Teru's parents had abandoned him and run far, far away. Far enough that he would never have the displeasure of meeting them. Surely they wouldn't have the nerve to stay anywhere near Seasoning.
Reigen Arataka was wrong.

Summary
Puberty was bad enough on its own, but unfortunately for Teru, the issue that cropped up his last year of elementary school brought something else to the table.

Summary
Reigen didn't see the big deal. It was just one more kid. Ritsu and Mob had slept over before and all the kids had done was eat a mountain of food and watched a couple movies.

Summary

Summary
Maybe it was that summer break had only just started and Teru was already bored to death. Maybe it was that it always felt a little special when Reigen asked him to help with a case.
Whatever it was that made Teru ignore the funny feeling in his chest and agree, he regretted it.
