Summary
It wasn't like Akira hadn’t been planning to confront Maruki anyway, but... the knowledge that Akechi's life was dependent on his decision heavily complicated things. He knew he didn't have it in him to go against Akechi's wishes, though; the ex-detective had made it crystal clear that he would rather die free than live under the influence of another higher power. Akira had grappled with the dilemma for a while, tossing and turning atop his cot as the darkness of Leblanc's attic held little comfort, but eventually - as much as it had hurt him to think about - he'd resolved that he was prepared to have to let Akechi go, for his sake and for the rest of the world.
Akira had been finally ready to stop his racing thoughts in their tracks and sleep, despite the hour surely being ungodly by then. Unfortunately, his mind had other plans, having been given the space to wander and provide him with a thought that was perhaps even worse.
What if Akechi's life wasn't the only one hanging in the balance?

“Ack- sorry ‘bout that. Still gettin’ used to the new guy.” He rolls his shoulder. “He's a little… odd?”
Fox clicks his tongue. “I can hear you, by the way.”
Skull groans. “Whatever, you ain’t denying it.”

Summary
He loved Sakura-chan.
It was something he knew to be true. Concrete. Written in the stars. And in her, he found eternal reassurance. As long as Sakura-chan lived and breathed, he would never be alone again. She was the link that allowed him to have his best friend. She had always been around, always looked at him with that crackling green light in her eyes. Even when he had been invisible, Sakura-chan had always seen him. His lighthouse, guiding him home.Bookmarked by Iprobablyhavementalproblems

Summary
Ryuji doubts that Akechi has ever truly looked sympathetic in his entire life. But now, as they stand face-to-face, his lips pinch almost believably in the corners, and his gaze has lost (most of) that malevolence he seems to carry over his shoulders like a burial shroud.
"Sakamoto, I won’t stand here and pretend that I respect you, let alone like you," Akechi says. "You’re brash and improper and everything that I despise. It’s a wonder we’ve gone this long without being at each other’s throats. But you deserve to be on the same page as I am…It concerns you, after all, and I refuse to tell lies of omission."
Ryuji has never believed in God. Every word he threw out into the air, it seemed like the stars heard it better than whatever negligent being was up there.
But now, he finds himself praying to something, hoping against all odds: Please, don't let this be true.
In which Ryuji breaks out of Maruki's reality the first time around. This is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, as Ryuji comes to find out, it only proves how cruel fate can truly be.
