Summary
"I'll flirt with you a little, and then she'll be wild with jealousy. And then you'll put your phone number back in my phone, and I'll win twenty bucks."
"Twenty bucks," Wesley repeated flatly.
"And the grudging respect of those nerds that I work with!"

Summary
There is space for them at the very end of the counter, right against the wall. Kim climbs onto the stool there easily.
Harry has a considerably harder time. He keeps knocking against his neighbors (Kim and a stone-faced trucker) with his shoulders and thighs and elbows and knees as he tries to wrestle his way aboard the stool and pull it closer to the counter and fit himself into the narrow space available. Every time he collides with Kim -- the RCM jacket rubbing against Kim's shoulders, the silky caftan pants thrusting against Kim's thigh, even the purple shower shoes kicking Kim's ankle -- Kim feels as if he is being buffeted by a semi-apologetic bear who keeps grumbling uh and sorry and what.

"It is part of his character backstory," Dorothy said, shrugging. "He has practiced holding his breath until he barely needs to breathe."
"You might as well say that he practiced dying until he was immortal."

Summary
Somehow, despite all logical reasoning, Chisato herself is a mess of contradictions: a gifted assassin who practices pacifism, a girl without a heartbeat that rivals the sun in energy. “Zombies might not exist in the real world, but I do,” Chisato says. “And so do you. But I’d brave a zombie apocalypse in real life if it meant we could be together like this.”
How can Chisato be so blunt and so subtle at the same time? It doesn’t make any sense. “Together at the end of the world?” Takina asks.
“Together at the end of the world,” Chisato says, nodding. “Because it’s not really the end if you’re here with me.”
—
Takina dreams of a zombie apocalypse in Tokyo, and Chisato is always by her side.
