Summary
“I really need to talk to somebody after today,” he says, entirely honestly. “But he lives in Kichijoji,” (he thinks), “A-and I don’t have his phone number anymore since my phone got wiped,” (technically also true), “And I know that’s not super close, and I didn’t wanna just disappear without telling you where I was or why I was gone.”
There. He hasn’t lied to Sojiro. Akira feels like a god damn winner, if a winner could also feel like death twice warmed over.
Heh.
It's April fifteenth, and April nineteenth was six days ago; it's been a long day, and a long week, and a long year, for all it has not, in fact, been a year. It's been the kind of day that hurts.
In wildcard terms, that means it's a day for deals. He has to be able to save someone.

Summary
Makoto's had complicated feelings about Crow since the moment they met. It doesn't help that everything he does makes him more suspicious, and it certainly doesn't help that he pointedly and consistently never assuages a damn one of her concerns.
(Crow is mean and sharp and frightening, haughty and rude, impossible, dangerous, and the Phantom Thieves like him. Not even anyway; they like him with and for it. She's never envied anything more.)

Summary
"I had a whole plan, you know."
(It's an important job, and a consolation prize, and a deathbed confession at gunpoint. By a certain definition of death, and a certain definition of confession, anyway. He'd considered going along to fight the shadow, but in the end it felt more personal to stand in an office so lavish it might as well have been empty and watch the man he hated disappear.)
