Summary
Gideon burst into Harrowhark’s room at 10 pm on a Wednesday. “I’m going to kill myself tomorrow,” she said. “I have money. I can blow it all. You can’t change my mind.”
Harrowhark stared up at her from where she was lying on the floor. She had her arms crossed over her stomach, heels gently touching. Corpse pose. Gideon’s voice raised in a manic desperation: “Do you – do you want to do anything?”
“Griddle,” Harrow stared at the ceiling, “it’s nearly midnight. Go find Tridentarius if you want someone to throw away your life with.”

Summary
Gideon Nav carefully makes her way down the stairs, leaning her shoulder against the cold stone walls. She keeps her silence down the hallway - watches the cold fog of her breath trail away behind her- and shuffles to a stop by the side of the only occupied prison cell in the Ninth. The woman inside it is crumpled against the wall, breathing heavily. Her tangled red hair drapes over her face; Gideon has never seen it.
“Mom,” she whispers, “they hit me.”
The woman says nothing.

Summary
Pyrrha walks into the library in the morning, furious, and blocks Paul into the corner of two bookshelves with her arm. “You’re toying with me,” she accuses.
“Yes,” they say, and after a few seconds amend: “Just a little bit.”

Pyrrha was used to being the pursuer. This is new. -

Summary
Kiriona Gaia laid there, a live body in a dead bed.
In her mind, she chuckled, creating a newly offensive joke at the expense of someone’s mother. Her body, however, laid as still as the stone beneath her.

Summary
If there’s one thing Miya Atsumu can’t tolerate, it’s love. His thoughts are, in brief: that love is a scam, marriage is a pyramid scheme, and relationships are for people who can’t get laid. So it’s just his luck that two weeks to the end of the V.League season, his no good, very rotten twin tells him he’s getting married—and that Atsumu is his best man.
Since Atsumu’s life is objectively the worst, he will now have to contend with a variety of things he would rather die than deal with. Among them are: wedding venues, an endless list of best man duties, Suna Rintarou’s vaguely menacing energy, Ushijima fucking Wakatoshi, Osamu being in love, and ALL of his exes…in the same room.
If that isn’t bad enough, he’s being haunted by the world’s most annoying ghost.
With a few immersive spectral flashbacks, a significant amount of guilt tripping, and some borderline unforgivable fuckboy behavior, Atsumu will have to face his past, try (?) to become a better person, not punch a ghost, and somehow get back the only boy he’s ever loved…before it’s too late.

Summary
“Stop by the shop on the way home.”
Gideon raised an eyebrow. “What for?”As far as she was aware, the fridge was still pretty well stocked. Harrow had plenty to peck at for at least another week.
Harrowhark finally looked up again. There was a strange glint in her eye. Something glittered that portended a certifiable Nonagesimus kind of nasty that Gideon didn’t want to touch with a twelve foot pole.
“Porkchops,” she said at last. “Ground beef. Bratwurst. Red meats, ideally.”“Feeling carnivorous, are we?” Gideon joked. Harrow did not deign to dignify this with a response.
---
Less than a week ago, Gideon received a call stating her mother was dead.In an unrelated event, Harrowhark is suddenly asking for meat.

Summary
Here’s the thing about bad habits: you can’t really ignore them forever. If you try to, they’ll just end up sneaking up on you at the worst possible moments. So Kiyoomi tries to wrangle his into a semblance of discipline: he promises himself that at the end of the week, he gets to indulge. He lumps in all of his vices into one night of bad decisions, a twisted opposite of going to church on Sundays to atone for your sins. He maintains his good habits all week, and rewards himself with one night of bad ones.
So on these days, he drinks more than he’s supposed to. He eats whatever sugary sweets he wants to. He opens the door for Atsumu when he knocks. But, then again, Atsumu never knocks unless it’s one of those days. If only the drinks and the food offered the same courtesy.
[Or: Kiyoomi makes a habit out of Atsumu and Atsumu wants to make Kiyoomi something much more.]
