    Summary

    Shuuichi wasn’t an angry person. He felt the occasional twinge of frustration like any other person, but the red, hot flames of rage rarely ever consumed him like how trumpets were stereotyped to be. In fact, he could accurately say that he was the exact opposite of a trumpet stereotype: not prideful and not angry.

    But he’d be damned if the high-pitched squeaks of the violinist next door didn’t tempt Shuuichi into climbing out of bed and getting up to throw his neighbor’s instrument out the window.

    Summary

    “Wait, why the fuck is Shuichi the other lead?” Kaito asked Kaede the next morning when she announced the roles to the class. “I didn’t think he was even going to act in the first place?”
    Kaede shook her head. “It wasn’t my choice, Kirumi and Shuichi did all the casting.”
    “Dude, what?” Kaito turned to Shuichi, surprised. “You want to? Can you even act?”
    “Well I wouldn’t have agreed to it if I couldn’t. Besides,” he explained, pulling out books he’d need for the next lesson, “Kirumi and I both agree it would be the best course of action. I mean, not many people in our class would be able to tolerate Kokichi for as long as I’ll have to.”

    Summary

    The day after the awful events of the fourth trial, Shuichi wakes up somewhere new, handcuffed to the one and only Kokichi "Problem Classmate" Ouma, who is seemingly just as lost as he is. Turns out, this odd change of pace is the result of a brand new and unnecessarily extreme motive: the "Death Puzzles" motive.

    Everyone's lives rest in the palms of Shuichi and Kokichi's hands, and it's up to them to work together to defeat each "death puzzle" that is thrown their way, no matter how difficult it becomes.
    Meanwhile, two of their classmates on the outside team up to dig further into the truth of not only the academy, but the killing game itself. As the only way to stop the death puzzles is either for someone to die... or to finally end the killing game.

    Either way, it's a fight against time.

    --

    or, tldr: There's suffering and there's gay people. That's it.

    Summary

    Even if that hand reaches out to him, Ouma won't pull it, or let himself be pulled. A helping hand is useless if the person being helped spurns it. The loop continues again.

    Summary

    Recovery is a two-way street. He’s learned this lesson himself time and time again. Recovery is clawing your way out of a pit until your nails are bloody and broken and you finally manage to get your footing, and then walking and walking and walking until you get somewhere better. The only problem is that every step feels like you’re about to slip and reaching out only does so much. Recovery is a two-way street because for every time you make the walk up there’s something else ready to show you how to turn around and push you right back down to the part where all you can do is crawl.

    Doesn’t help, either, he supposes, when you’re hanging around and relying on the thing that fucked your well-being in the first place.
