    Summary

    With Kurara's back to the wall after a grizzly one hundred days, she manages to muster enough anger and determination to escape what would have otherwise been a tragic fate. Alone in the academy, she decides that this isn't the ending she wants. She wants a do-over, and a do-over is exactly what she's going to get. But nothing could have prepared her for the challenges that lie ahead...

    Summary

    Takumi is dead, he’s dead, yet the open eye sockets of the corpse are staring directly at him. Takumi’s mouth doesn’t move, his vocal chords are cut out, but he’s speaking. Eito remembers doing it— he remembers Nozomi going down easily, and Takumi lunging at him, fire and hatred and betrayal in the eyes that are now so cloudy and lifeless. Eito remembers feeling so fulfilled, like no other kill in his life would be more satisfying. Feeling his weapon slice through hideous Takumi as they fought, hearing the sounds Takumi made as the searing pain only Eito’s scythe could inflict spread through his body. The way Takumi’s blade pierced him in return, how that weapon when wielded with such ravenous intent could cut through to the deepest parts of Eito. And when he won, towering over the helpless, subjugated, shivering body of Takumi Sumino, his enemy, and the dust settled, and he, and he—

    You absorbed me, Aotsuki.

    Summary

    Eito’s challenge to Takumi goes horribly right, leaving him all alone in Takumi’s body. But try as he might to make the most of it, he finds himself feeling hollow despite his victory. When the chance comes to go back and do it again, he takes it, ready to claim a less decisive victory against Takumi.

    Takumi’s confused when, on the eve of day 2, he sees and hears the presence of Eito Aotsuki in his head, but he’s not stupid. Karua made him read enough romance novels to know what this is. Eito is his soulmate, and his presence in his head is there to guide them to bliss together.

    Summary

    Takumi moaned in relief as his teeth tore into the skin with ease. It was the blood of his most hated enemy. So thick and sweet and rich, drops clinging to his tongue like the blood was returning to its owner.

    It was a glorious feast with Eito’s screams as dessert.

    Takumi goes back in time to change everything. His sudden desire to drink blood slightly complicates that.

    Summary

    Maruko sighs. Whatever look that he has on his face, it is foreign and she does not like it. “You say that, but your freakin’ tomato head looks sad as hell.” Not one bit. “Look, if I’m being honest, you’re cute. Like, really cute. But you are also, like, totally intimidating. Busting my balls every chance you get.”

    There are no bites to their words today, blows softened by yesterday’s revelations and pulled punches.

    Summary

    There were many things Darumi regretted. Many things she wished she could've done differently.
    The one thing she didn't regret, however, was Takumi.

    "Takumi, I love you." She hoped those words reached him as she was consumed by the flames.

    That was the end of it.

    Or at least it was supposed to be... so why had she woken up and been sent all the way back to Day 3?

    Summary

    When Nozomi's rejection symptoms set in without a commander in sight, it's someone else's cryptoglobin that's used to offset her symptoms.

    Unfortunately, this has consequences that no one, not Nozomi herself and certainly not Takumi Sumino, could foresee.

    Eito, for his part, thinks things could be a lot worse.

    Summary

    Gaku Maruko is an ordinary teenage boy living in the Tokyo Residential Complex who has been left directionless with the start of summer vacation. With nothing to do except figure out how to grow into a somewhat self-respecting young man, he steals away the most popular guy he knows, Takumi Sumino, for a day full of assorted antics. In the midst of wasting away their lives, Gaku realizes something important about how he sees Takumi— and wishes he could put that realization right back where he found it.

    In another life, that would've been it.

    Gaku Maruko is a teenage soldier stationed at Last Defense Academy who just woke up from an invader-induced daydream having heavily repressed something important about how he sees Takumi. He has no way to put that realization back where he found it no matter how much force he crams it into the back of his head with. But war does not need tenderness, nor does it consider youth as more than a valuable asset. First he needs to fight, and then, uh, he'll unpack all that.

    Probably.

    Shit.

    Summary

    I knew this wouldn’t be easy for either of us, but sometimes you had to burn the forest floor to encourage new growth... I had at least taken that crucial first step, planting a seed of doubt in Eito’s mind over whether it was even worth clinging onto his lifelong grudge against humanity. I could already feel that things were diverting from the future where I made that promise... I just had to believe in the Eito who stood with me until the end and wanted to change—who died desperately wanting for me to understand him. The Eito in front of me now was that same person, but he also wasn’t... Even just my presence here has put something intangible in motion.

    [Major spoilers for “Last Defense Academy 2nd Scenario” Ending 001 and “Rebellion” Ending 006]

    After losing everything, with the last shred of his strength Takumi managed to go back a third time. Armed with the knowledge of the true nature of the war they were forced to fight, and the decision he and his comrades—his family—all made together at the end, he’d make damn sure they all came out of this on the right side of history. This time, he’d be able to keep everyone alive—and he had a new promise to keep. The others might not understand it, but...

    Murvrum never asked to participate in this war, just as his people never asked to have it forced upon them. At his weakest moment, as he's truly regretting the life he's been made to live, the enemy surprises him with their mercy... even if he must allow them to take samples from him to be fashioned into bioweapons against his people in return.

    Strangely, though, one of those enemies in particular quickly grows very attached to him, and their leader is unexpectedly benevolent. It makes Murvrum wonder if there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
