Summary
Gerard shuffled on his threadbare shoes. They left little tread imprints in Richard’s new entry way mat. He didn’t know how he felt about them—about everything.
"Coffee?" Gerard asked, yet again.
The amount of time Richard spent eyeing it—and Gerard’s face—was longer than could be considered socially appropriate.
Richard didn’t want anything Gerard had to offer.

Summary
Shoto expected a breakup to feel somewhat like dying: like the air being sucked from a person's lungs or rugs pulled out from under one’s feet. Except, when his partner of eight months ends their relationship over text on the eve of one of the most important days of Shoto's life, he simply asked his editor for a week's extension and crawled back into bed for the night.
Now, he fights to finish his novel before the major deadline, but his mind has other plans. The once serene, inspiration-filled coffee shop where he usually writes now pulls his attention in different directions as he reflects on his freshly open relationship wound.
And then there's Hanta, the bright and smiley barista, who might just be the most distracting thing of all.

Summary
She couldn’t wait to see everyone lose themselves to fear and paranoia over the next few days as they stabbed, bludgeoned, strangled, poisoned and whatever else they could come up with, reducing their numbers one by one on a live broadcast across the globe. And then, all the way at the end, would come her own triumphant moment, pulling the rug from under them by revealing that all of it, their tears, their fear and most importantly their hope, had all been for naught.
Oh, the looks on their faces as even the last of them would finally be pushed into despair! She didn’t even try to hold in the moans that escaped her at the thought. EVERYTHING was perfectly set up, the motives, the memory wipes, the executions and even her contingency plans in her dumb sister and Sakura.
Her panting slowly gave way to a shrill and hideous laughter as she leaned back and pushed the button to start the broadcast. As she rewatched the execution of her former headmaster from mere hours ago, there was only one thought in her head."Oh yes, nothing can go wrong!"
Junko's killing game is about to begin.
Too bad none of her players are exactly human.Updates on Fridays throughout October
