Summary
All the things we talk about when we try to talk about love.
“If she could have the specific part of her animal hindbrain that wants him electrocuted, she’d do it. She opens her eyes and looks up at him, and that familiar punch of lust grabs her by the throat.”
"Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks on it" - David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Summary
After Kyora winds up in the psychiatric ward, Hakuri makes a habit of visiting him.
“Since Hakuri was a small child, his father was an authority figure to cower from, Hakuri’s lack of achievements of any kind and increasing number of shortcomings putting a target on his back. Kyora’s cruelty would cycle between vicious insults and social exclusion, Hakuri left out of family occasions, once told that he ought to have been aborted. He’d cry about it in private, but otherwise, never complained because he didn’t think anyone would care.
He never wanted to see anything bad happen to his father, but when he heard about what happened, he felt like there wasn’t a more deserving person.”

Summary
When a person becomes an adult, they stop thinking about what other people can do for them, and what they can do for other people.
"Iori woke up before Chihiro this morning, letting him sleep in because he gets up so early during the working week. Chihiro sat up, his head feeling fuzzy, while Iori hummed along to a pop song playing over her shitty Bluetooth speaker.
“You shouldn’t have let me sleep in,” he says, already dressed because he and Hakuri committed to helping Hiruhiko set up an art installation. Iori, who is sitting across the table from him, smiles.
“You look so cute when you sleep though.” She picks up her phone, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. “I took a picture of you.”

Summary
Momo's life falls apart and Shouto decides to help her get it back together.
"Shouto slightly tilts his head while he looks at her, like he’s thinking through what to say next. Momo closes her book, using the bookmark she made for herself at thirteen with her quirk—a thin piece of metal, the size of a playing card, with her name engraved on it. She remembers being so proud of herself for making it, and the memory almost allows her to forget that he is here. “We all miss you.”
“I know.” One thing Momo cannot say is that she is unloved. She just needs some time away to figure herself out, away from people who, though well-meaning, would tell her how to feel about it.

Summary
As she reaches to pull down the blinds, she gazes deeply at her reflection—there is Ino and all evidence that she is a normal person.
Ino admires herself, slightly turning her back to see the reflection of her shoulder blades. She runs a hand down her hip, rubbing at the wrinkles in her dress. She tosses her hair when she changes her posturing, switching sides to observe at a different angle. Guesstimating the fluctuation of her weight.
Shikamaru catches her before she notices him walking up to the flower shop. He stops on the other side of the window, standing in her reflection, holding a brown paper bag. He scrunches his face in a teasing way and laughs, “Seriously?”

Summary
While the Chosen adjust to new lives post-Digital World, their parents learn how to move on with theirs.
"At his most magnanimous, Haruhiko used to tell himself that he chose to arrange his life this way to model the independence he wanted Sora to have. It was the sort of belief that would later help him feel less guilty for not always being home every day of the week when Sora was younger, but he also couldn’t remember many moments when she’d asked if he would be. From a young age his daughter became someone who did things on her own whenever possible, and Haruhiko is proud about this. Life isn’t fair or kind or good, so it’s only best to rely on oneself."

Summary
The human heart circulates blood throughout the body. Ostensibly it possesses intellect and collects wisdom. Thus it is capable of being broken without actually killing a person. Animals can also suffer from heartbreak. The breaky-archies Kory called it, noticing it in movies, stimulating conversation between humans. Heartbreak is everywhere on Earth as a universal vocabulary.
She hadn’t attributed it to grief though, and with grief being full of emotional movement, Kory is transported to multiple memories all at once.

Summary
Without speaking, she rises to her knees. Straddles him, then walks herself up his waist, his chest, his shoulders. Climbing to the summit of his mouth. Hikes her dress up all along the way, so he can see exactly what he does to her, and what she expects him to do about it.
