    Summary

    Even with the February air firmly settled in his bones, Ken still finds he’s worked up a sweat from the manual labor, skin uncomfortably warm beneath several thick layers. But with the maintenance completed, it’s only a matter of lighting the incense and placing his humble offering: a small box of assorted truffles—Mom’s favorite—already on sale in preparation for Valentine’s Day.

    The two of them clap their hands in near unison as they kneel and pray.

    Ken and Makoto visit those they have lost.

    Summary

    “I’m… surprised you didn’t ask Yukari-san and Yuki-san to come along,” is what he says instead.

    “Why would I?” Junpei glances up. “You clearly don’t want anyone to know it’s your birthday.”

    “But you’re here.”

    “Cuz I know. I can’t un-know, can I?” He gives the ball a little kick. “I’m not letting you spend your birthday alone, Amada. Kick it back to me.”

    Summary

    Ken opens and closes his mouth a few times. For a second, he wants to say never mind and run to the train, because it’s just right there and he really doesn’t want to be around Aragaki.

    But he feels nauseous and the stalker is still watching him, Ken knows he is, and his side is starting to really hurt.

    But he chokes on his words when he goes to explain, so instead Ken wraps his arms around his stomach, trying not to brush against the bruise on his side, and gives Aragaki the widest eyes he could bring himself to make.

    “I don’t feel so good,” he reluctantly whines. And after a second, “Please?”

    ...

    Ken has a lot on his plate, between his injuries, the stalking, and his ever-present suicidal thoughts. If only he would realize the team would do anything to help him out.

    Summary

    “Albe- Alchemist,” Klee choked out, and dread pooled in Albedo’s stomach. He whirled towards her, barely aware of the fact that he was still clutching the Prince by the suit as the man gasped, winded.

    The Grand Master stood on the other end of the rooftop, the cold, empty eyes of her mask boring into Albedo’s own as she wrapped an arm around Klee, and her other arm–

    Albedo’s heart dropped.

    The Grand Master was holding a knife against his sister's throat.

    or, albedo is a villain, klee gets kidnapped by heroes and held hostage, and something along the lines of a zombie apocalypse is happening in the background
