    Summary

    What was probably only a few feet felt like miles, and he nearly sobbed in relief when he finally made it to the door.

    He was so tired. So, so, so tired.

    He curled around his hand protectively as he stumbled to the next door. 

    Was this – He blinked rapidly, trying to clear his vision. The world swayed dangerously, and he latched onto the door frame to keep himself upright.

    The rusted numbers were once again wrong, and a groan did slip out as his hand throbbed harshly, more blood spilling from the mangled flesh.

    Next one, it had to be the next one. 

    This. This was the right one.

    It took everything in him to pound on the wood. Or maybe he had just knocked. His vision was tunneling. His right shoulder leaned heavily against the door frame. The door opened, lids fluttering open. When did he close his eyes?

    “What-“ the man before him started.

    “I’m -” he started. The world was growing dark, and it was all so heavy and everything hurt. It all hurt so fucking much. 

    All he could gasp out was, “Help me,” before collapsing.

    Summary

    "I think there's something wrong with me," Kevin blurted out, barely seeing Abby as he scanned the room for threats. "I—I can't sleep, I can't eat. Abby, I can't play. I don't know what's happening to me."

    "Kevin," Abby's eyes softened. "You're hurt. You're trying to recover."

    "No… No. That's not it. I was thinking, I think I know what's wrong."

    "Okay, how about we go sit down in the living room and talk about it?" Abby tried, but Kevin couldn't hear her.

    "I think it's me," Kevin realized with a clarity he hadn't had in over a week. "I'm what's wrong. It's always been me."

    It wouldn't be a stretch to call Kevin Day broken—not in his current condition. Without Exy, he was nothing, and he knew it. But, call it hope or delusion, Kevin needed to get back on the court. He had two choices: Stay at Palmetto State University, or die. It's quite simple, really. Except it gets infinitely harder when Andrew Minyard refuses to let him stay.

    Or, the art of making a deal with one Andrew Minyard.

    A pre-AFTG ficlet depicting Kevin's life settling into South Carolina after a decade by Riko's side.

    Summary

    Most people don't get a second chance, let alone a third or fourth. Most people would use those second chances wisely. Riko Moriyama is not most people - but even he can only die so many times before the lessons start to stick.

    Riko Moriyama, across four deaths and one last chance, figuring out if monsters can change.

    AKA: It's Groundhog Day except the day is the worst years of your life and the lesson you're supposed to learn is that you are, in fact, the villain of the story (unless you do something to change it).
