    Summary

    Five years after the collapse of the Metaverse, life goes on for everyone that once called themselves a persona user. Takuto Maruki continues cab driving. Akira Kurusu pursues higher education while still living in the attic his teenage self called home.

    A dropped prescription bag and a cup of spilled coffee cause them to reunite. Neither of them are the same as before. When Maruki decides to rob himself of the future, Akira saves him from his fate. Afterward, they work together to find out how to change for the better, this time unable to use the Metaverse as their crutch.

    Summary

    “You know, I've been told I'm a [Top of the line!!] mechanic. Bet I could fix you up [faster than any other brand].”

    For some reason his screen flushes even darker as he pauses, looking at Spamton, a little less drunk than him, a lot smaller…

    Maintenance was always such a hassle, he never liked doing it himself. He prefers going to the mechanic, but for such a small issue like this that would be ridiculous (and ridiculously expensive.)

    But… Spamton's from Cybercity! He has tech skills coming out the wazoo! Plus, the guy's so short he could probably just crawl right in and– well, that's maybe a little much, but his scale could definitely be useful…

    “You've done maintenance before?”

    “Oh, a [earn millions and millions!!] times! Some of the guys in cybercity– hell– I was practically performing surgery!!”

    “Okay! Well! If you're sure!”

    Summary

    A dream. This has to be a dream. There’s no other explanation as to why he is here, in Takuto Maruki’s bed, naked, with a cup of coffee and a ring on his finger.

    Summary

    Maruki thinks to himself that maybe he should just hang up.

    He doesn't, though. He’s too busy hanging onto every noise that’s fed to him through the small speaker pressed against his ear, entranced by the sound of Akira's voice. What he needed was a slap to the face, a perfectly normal explanation that would make him feel silly for even thinking the perverted thoughts that were running through his overly tired brain.

    Summary

    Takuto was sorting through papers in the nurse’s office when he got a text from Amamiya-kun.

    What greeted him when he unlocked his phone made his mouth go dry.

    Black. Lacy. Lingerie.

    This was going to be a long day.
