    Summary

    Yosuke doesn't even really register the stack of boxes in Yu’s arms until Yu clears his throat.
    “Yosuke,” he says quietly. And then Yosuke sees the neat labels stickered on the sides, the carefully taped edges, that the apartment is starting to look a little emptier. “I'm moving out.”

    --

    left alone in the apartment they'd shared, yosuke finds himself at a loss. there's some fundamental truth he's missing about his life, and he's pretty sure it just moved back to inaba with his partner.

    (or: yosuke hanamura, time to face yourself for the second time.)

    Summary

    HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — You’re never Harrier at work, just like you’re never Detective at home. You’re in trouble.

    CHESTER MCLAINE: “Uh oh!” the sergeant singsongs from where he’s sitting with his feet up on his desk.

    KIM KITSURAGI: “Oh, I have your attention now?” he asks. His tone sounds casual, almost friendly.

    HALF LIGHT [Easy: Success] — It’s not either of those things.

    Summary

    There’s something insidious just beneath the surface.

    Matsuda always manages to somehow stay afloat, to keep his head bobbing above water, never submerged by the pitfalls of the investigation for long despite it all. Sometimes this perplexes Light, other times it makes him want to sink the man deeper. See if he can drown him. Drag him somewhere where the light doesn’t reach.

    It’s a game the two of them play— one Matsuda isn’t aware he’s participating in.

    Summary

    Matsuda is just trying to find the meaning in each day. Which feels stupid, because as the investigation drags on as it always has, he’s starting to realize there was never much there to begin with. The world is slowly breaking apart. This day will pass just like the next one.

    It's simple. Wake up in his cold apartment, ride the train to work, sip lukewarm coffee, and sit in the back like an audience member, gazing from the crowd as the stars of the performance run the show. All he can do is watch.

    And then there's Light, shining brightly, sitting across from him over a drink. So kind and charitable— he fills Matsuda’s wavering, meaningless days with sweet words.

    He remembers Ide’s warning. …But why should he have to listen to Ide?
