Summary
“Well, I actually have a question for you, not a story,” Kotone says, tapping her chin. “When’s your birthday?”
“Why do you wanna know?” Shinjiro asks immediately, squinting at Kotone.
(Shinjiro doesn't celebrate his birthday. Kotone wants to, even though it’s long gone.)

Summary
“You need something?” he asks gruffly after swallowing.
“I don’t. I just thought, perhaps, it would be good to build some rapport between us. I have a decent level with Akihiko, and of course, the two of you have a strong relationship. For the sake of our mission in Tartarus, it’d be favourable for us to also develop a working relationship. People are the basis of everything, and our team is no different.” She nods to herself, satisfied.
Shinjiro wonders if that’s just her roundabout way of saying she wants to be friends.
(Being teammates comes with a side of friendship.)

Summary
“You’re up late,” Shinjiro says breezily, eyes flickering up to look at her. “Couldn’t sleep?”
She shrugs, taking in the way his peacoat clings to his shoulders. “You’re back late,” she retorts, her voice crackling before she clears her throat.
(Kotone has trouble sleeping. Shinjiro helps her, just once.)

Summary
The steady beep, beep of his heart monitor aligns with her own heartbeat. His breaths are even, fogging and clearing the oxygen mask. Kotone bites her lip. He looks so impossibly small here. Asleep, he doesn’t look like someone dogged down with more years than the ones that hold his life together.
He looks like a teenager.
(Kotone visits Shinjiro in hospital.)
