    Summary

    For Ichika's fourteenth birthday, she receives gifts from the others that she wishes to share. Ichika opens her bag of Phenny gummies, offering a few to each of them. Honami and Saki eat theirs eagerly. Shiho hesitates, holding one in their hand.

    “What’s wrong, Shiho-chan?” Honami asks, frowning at them. “Aren’t you going to try?”

    Shiho hesitates once more, looking around before swallowing. “It’s just… really cute,” they admit, turning a bright shade of pink.

    …safe to say, Ichika waited until they weren’t around to pass out the rest of them.

    (For Ichika’s fourteenth birthday, she stares up at the stars on her ceiling and cries. She wishes that in this world, the four of them were together.)

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Ichika remembers every birthday she never really had. It takes some talking with the others to help lift the weight off her chest.

    Summary

    “Ichika-chan…?”

    Ichika doesn’t have time to explain. She grabs Honami’s arm. “Run.”

    And that’s how Ichika has ended up in this situation: barreling through an empty ship with her girlfriend at her side, frantically dashing to the engine room before they all die (and by they all, she means the two of them and also Mr. Apples, who would arguably be the saddest death of all).

    “What are we running from?” Honami shouts behind her, her hand interlocked with Ichika's and Mr. Apples hanging onto her shoulder for dear life.

    “Evil space plant!” lchika yells back. “You can tell from the shapes of the midrib and veins that it’s a— ack, no time to explain!” Ordinarily, Ichika would love to go on a long tangent about the types of life in this galaxy that could kill them all in a heartbeat, but when they are actively a heartbeat away from being killed, maybe it’s time to save her breath.

    (She’ll tell Honami all about it later. If they survive.)

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Ichika's space adventures with her girlfriends and the plants she totally definitely does not nearly kill everyone with.

    Summary

    “So!” she says, as soon as she’s swallowed her first fork of food. “What’s the plan for the day?”

    Honami smiles. “Well, I thought it’d be nice to make a nice breakfast for everyone.”

    “It was very nice,” Ichika agrees. She shovels another bite into her mouth. “Tastes delicious, Honami.”

    “As always,” Saki hums, smiling. Nice going, Saki. Hona-chan’s meal of the day was breakfast! That means my dinner reservation is in a safe space. She has to bite back delighted giggles. See, Icchan! This was a good idea. Now Shiho-chan just has to say they got us tickets to a concert down the road and—

    “I booked us a reservation for dinner,” Shiho says. “At a fancy new noodle place.” They smile. “My treat.”

    They might as well have just announced they were leaving Leo/need to join STANDOUT.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Saki suggests that this year for Valentine's Day, the four of them decide on something nice to surprise all of the others with!

    Needless to say, there are some conflicting plans.

    Summary

    “You’re really pretty, Icchan,” Saki whispers, just loud enough for the room to hear.

    It’s a miracle Ichika’s face doesn’t catch on fire. She certainly feels like it is. “Uhm— uhm—” she stammers, unsure what to say.

    “...I think you broke her, Saki,” Shiho comments dryly, but when Ichika’s eyes dart over to them, she can see they’re similarly flustered. You weren’t even the one in this game! Ichika thinks, but she supposes she can’t blame them. She’d probably react the same if two of her best friends kissed in front of her. Oh, she feels dizzy. She really wants to kiss Saki again. Her words are acting on that thought before her brain can hold itself back.

    “Do you want to play again?” Ichika blurts, and everyone freezes.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Saki's urging to play the Pocky game will definitely not lead to any revelations amongst the four of them.

    Summary

    “The cake is drowning, Ichika,” Shiho deadpans, staring at the batter. They lift their head, meeting her guilty eyes. “You drowned it.”

    “I— I did not!” Ichika defends, looking away from them to peer down at her work. “…it looks fine to me.”

    “I said one cup of water. One. Four? How— how did you even hear me say four?” Shiho sputters. “Why would we need more water for the recipe than flour?”

    “I don’t know! All I’ve ever made are cookies, or candles… never cake! But it looks fine, Shiho.” She stirs the batter around to prove it. It sloshes pathetically against her spoon, much too runny to be realistic. “See?”

    “I’m starting to see why you were bad at math.”

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Ichika and Shiho decide to surprise their girlfriends for a dinner date! They realize there is a reason Honami does most of the apartment's cooking.

    Summary

    “Your words are always inherently more sappy than mine because they’re from you. Our cute sappy lyricist,” Saki says with a giggle, reaching a hand over to bop Ichika on the nose. “You really know how to tug at heartstrings with your words.”

    Ichika definitely fails to hide her blush this time. She tries to stammer out a comeback, but she’s once again fallen victim to Saki’s flattery. Saki’s grin just grows, knowing that she’s won. She leans further into Ichika’s shoulder, laughing lightly. “Well, unless you’re flustered. Then you’re just cute.”

    “You’re teasing me,” Ichika whines, putting her face in her hands.

    “Me? Tease you? Oh, I would never. On Icchan day part two? That should be considered some sort of crime.”

    “I told you, it’s not my birthday anymore—”

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, Ichika reflects on where they are and how they got here (and drags the other three down with her to memory lane).

    Summary

    “—chan? Icchan? Hey, she’s awake!”

    “Ichika-chan?”

    “Did you seriously fall asleep?”

    Ichika blinks slowly, disoriented and confused. Why is it so dark? Where is she? Where are her friends? As her vision gradually comes back to her, all her questions are answered: she’s in the movie theater, the credits are rolling, the lights are fading back to a dim, and the faces of Saki, Honami, and Shiho all peer down at her as they stand around her chair.

    “Hrk—“ she groans, to answer Shiho’s question.

    “She did fall asleep,” Saki says, and laughs, shooting Shiho a smug grin. “I won the bet. You owe me money now.”

    Or, four times Leo/need fell asleep on one another, and all the nights they'll forever spend together.

    Summary

    “Okay, I think we need to have a talk,” Honami starts. She inhales, then blurts out, “What are we?”

    “Leo/need…?” Shiho says.

    Honami looks like she’s five seconds from driving her palm into her face. “Not the band! I mean like… us! Because apparently you—“ She motions to Saki— “are telling Kohane-chan it’s our six-month anniversary, you—“ She glances at Shiho— “are convinced we have a week to go until two-months, and you—“ She turns to Ichika, then hesitates, seeing the look on her face. “…I don’t think you have any idea what’s going on.”

    “I really… don’t,” Ichika admits helplessly, running her fingers through her hair.

    Saki sputters. “But you’re the one who first asked all of us out!”

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, it’s Saki’s birthday today, and also her group’s sixth-month anniversary of dating!

    Except… Shiho thinks it’s been two, Ichika is convinced she’s just pining, and Honami believes they’re all trapped in a situationship. Yikes.

    Summary

    “Ready to lose?” Shiho taunts Ichika.

    Ichika glares at them. “I never lose.”

    ——

    Ichika lost.

    Ichika lost badly, three times in a row. Each time, she finished worse than most of the NPCS, and each time Saki would break into hysterical laughter and pour her another shot. The only reason Ichika isn’t four shots deep within the quarter hour is because Honami felt so bad that on the last race of the circuit she slowed down just enough to let Ichika win— which took more effort on her part than actually playing.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Summary

    “Honami,” Ichika finally asks, and Honami’s attention snaps back to the present. There’s something oddly profound in the sparkles of Ichika’s eyes— blue and round and shining in a way they hadn’t been a heartbeat before. “Do you believe in soulmates?”

    Honami blinks, a bit taken aback. This wasn’t the kind of question she had expected to receive. Her thoughts must’ve mirrored those of the others, because Shiho voices the same thing. “What kind of truth question is that?”

    “It’s just something I want to know!” Ichika defends herself, shooting Shiho a glance. “I read about them the other day, and it made me think. Do you think soulmates exist in every universe?”

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, how no matter the Universe, Leo/need will find a way to celebrate Honami's special day.

    Summary

    Sitting like a startled cat, Saki clings to a branch with watery eyes and a trembling lip, watching Ichika move up towards her. It’s a big tree. Saki had been so determined to climb it, no matter how much Shiho insisted it was a bad idea, and then had the nerve to act shocked when she had gotten stuck. And then she had started to get scared, and then Shiho had started to get stressed and worried, because they hate it when Saki is upset, but why couldn’t she have listened, and then—

    “Uhm… g-guys…” Ichika starts, her voice weak with the wind.

    Shiho’s head snaps up. “What?” they call to her.

    “I’m… I’m stuck.”

    Shiho nearly drives their palm into their face.

    Summary

    “So! What did you wish for?”

    Ichika turns, peering over the guitar slung around her shoulder. Saki has caught up to her, leaving Shiho in the dust after a hug attack to match Ichika for stride. Behind her, Shiho straightens out their shirt, a pout on their lips and a giggling Honami at their side. Ichika huffs out a little laugh, watching as the two of them pick up their pace as well. She then moves to face forwards again, giving Saki a skeptical look. “If I tell you, it won’t come true.”

    Saki blows her a raspberry. “That’s a myth. I want to know.”

    Ichika tilts her head. “What about that time when you turned eight? You wished for a pony, and then told everyone you wanted a pony, and then you never got a pony. And it was all because you told everyone your wish.”

    “Of course I didn’t get a pony. How would my parents even get a pony, nevertheless keep it— oh, you’re joking. You’re teasing me.”

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, it’s Ichika’s birthday today. Saki wants to know what she wished for.

    Summary

    Relationships that begin in friendship can be rewarding and comfortable because you already know each other’s imperfections and flaws and love each other all the more in spite of them. The most difficult aspect of transitioning from friendship to coupledom is simply admitting that you like one another.

    Here are seven signs that your friend is looking for more.

    “Oh.”

    Four girls stand around a computer.

    “I didn’t even know Sekai had Google.”

    Summary

    Walking towards them on the wall, clutching an elegant wooden staff in their hands, is a girl. The inside of her cape is printed a crimson red, much darker than the color of the girl’s eyes.

    Her eyes.

    Forget the outfit, forget the weapon or the stance. Hinomori Shiho knows this girl. Green eyes meet pink: a grim, set face widens in surprise as it sees a face they thought they’d never see again. The girl’s hair is yellow, pulled into two similar pigtails that run in curls to her shoulders and fade away into pink. She hasn’t changed at all. She hasn’t changed at all, except she’s donning the uniform of their attackers, and she’s— she’s back.

    Shiho can’t move.

    Saki?

    It’s been four years since they last saw their best friend.

    Summary

    Ichika knows she’s hooked the moment her hand comes down on the strings.

    There’s a pick awkwardly suited in her grasp as she navigates through this newfound ability to play while standing up (she’s always trained for this sitting down— it was easier with her room), fingers adjusting into the position she’s found herself in with her friends. All at once, their instruments blare to life with either a strum or a tap; not quite in sync but close enough to make it count.

    I want to do this forever and ever.

    Summary

    “Marcy,” he starts, and she doesn’t respond, only tucking the box further. “Give me the box.”

    “Go to hell,” she replies quietly.

    Andrias’ face clouds, but he doesn’t try to convince her. It’s not like she can stop him. This is the part of the story where the heroes lose— is she a hero? Or is she just a pointless twist villain? Does it matter? No, no it doesn’t matter, because this isn’t a game, and she was foolish for thinking so in the first place. Tears bubble up in her eyes. Idiot.

     What have you done?

    “Excuse me? Why?”
     
    “Fear,” she croaks out, mind burning with memories, all too loud and all too bright. She can’t tell if she’s talking about solely the Core as she utters out the concern… or if the single, tiny adjective applies to something just a bit more than the moon.

    Summary

    Muichirou Tokitou had a lot to say about this situation. In the form of a random string of curses, of course.

    Because what else would you do if you were pinned to a tree by a blade in your shoulder and missing a hand? Cry? Muichirou certainly didn't think so. So instead of giving in and hanging limply like a dart on an arrow board he grunted, pressing his feet against the wooden trunk and reaching with his only remaining arm to clamp around the sword’s handle, precariously attempting to pull it from bloodied flesh.

    His arms were shaking, and this time it wasn't just from fear.

    This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to be here.

    Summary

    They were not cold.

    They were not in pain.

    They were merely waiting.

    There were four of them, all standing at various heights and different ages, all in this same place of endless summer where the trees brimmed green with fresh leaves and the ground grew pink with petals. A warm burst of wind gently brushed back their hair, calm and gentle like the relief that hovered over the group.

    “It's finally over."

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Or, the aftermath.

    The aftermath that was nothing like they had hoped.
