Summary
"Did you know that tomorrow's full moon is a blood moon?" Goro says, apropos of nothing.
"Nope." Ren glances back up at the moon again. Its familiar cratered face gazes back at him patiently, but all of a sudden he feels like he's seeing it in all its loveliness for the first time. "...Are you looking at it right now?"
"Do you want me to be?" Goro shoots back, the playful dip of his voice sending Ren's stomach swooping. Do you want me to be? God, he's such an asshole.
Ren wishes Goro could hear him roll his eyes over the phone. "It's a yes or no question."
He hears rustling, and then footsteps. "Yes, I'm looking at it, too," Goro says softly.
--
in which Goro quits his job, cuts his hair, and gets a dog (not necessarily in that order)

Summary
Goro Akechi returns to life six months after the fall of Maruki’s reality, spit out by the sea of souls onto a remote island off the coast of Japan. He brings back with him an ancient fairytale forest haunted by the ghosts of everyone he’s ever killed. And he is the only one who can free them from imprisonment in the woods. Instead of destroying everything inside, Goro chooses to stay. Wandering the forest, he completes impossible task after impossible task in the hopes of saving all his ghosts.
When Ren Amamiya learns Akechi survived he becomes focused on the challenge he believes has been thrown down - to find him and drag him back to Tokyo. But for Ren discovering where Akechi has gone proves to be its own impossible task, one that might unravel him.

Summary
Ice was irresistible — with that it resembled Goro's gaze. Heavy, piercing and meticulously examining everything it deemed worthy of its intrigue. And when it took Akira as its target, he could no longer look away.
Not that it was ever within the scope of necessary actions; those he wanted to perform. Quite the opposite. When he looked at Goro, he didn't feel that it was enough. He wanted to look further and harder, deeper, to get under his skin and study every tiny aspect that he didn't show anyone else.
Obsession manifests itself in many forms. It's often an intrusive, unwanted thought, an impulse that recurs and haunts its host. Constantly fed, it becomes dangerous, blurring the line between uneasiness and pleasure. Akira should've known better, taking his first steps on the ice rink.
