    Summary

    “I bet I could figure out the buttons. Give me a week and I’ll have you as desperate as... as Purple Shirt. Mark my words, Akechi, it’s about the buttons.”

    Goro stops walking. His wide eyes glisten under the streetlights—glossy like the twin buttons on a teddy bear’s face, glossy like the buttons on his crisp linen shirt, glossy like the metaphorical buttons that Akira aches to push. They stand still long enough for a car to rumble past, long enough for Akira’s pulse to skyrocket, for his palms to clam up with sweat that has nothing to do with the heat.

    “If it’s only a matter of buttons,” Akechi whispers, “then I could say the same about you. Seduction is just... altering your behavior, tailoring it, putting on a show. Give me a week, Kurusu. I’ll make you the ‘desperate’ one.”

    (Or: Goro and Akira make a bet.)

    Summary

    As he waves goodbye to the others, he presses the notification and reads the missive; it informs him that he’ll have the pleasure of Goro Akechi’s company this afternoon. It does not give him the option to decline, but Akira thinks that assuming he would if he could is giving himself entirely too much credit.

    Summary

    She doesn’t want him dead. Just gone. So they tell her what they can do—figure out his route to and from school and work, take him so fast that no one would see, and take him somewhere else. Somewhere that he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone.

     

    Faced with the impending arrest and murder of her closest friend, Haru resorts to extreme measures to make sure that the interrogation room plan does not go ahead.
    So long as Akechi is out of the picture, Ren and the thieves will be safe. She’ll make sure of it.

    (Or: Haru has Akechi kidnapped and kept in her basement to protect Ren.)
