    Summary

    Even worse, he must’ve taken a long minute mulling over that thought too, because Sharpness turns up at him with a thinly-veiled impatience behind those god-forsaken eyes, expression morphing into a tiny frown and gripping at Jude’s shirt, tugging him closer.

    “Well? What are you waiting for?” Sharpness asks. “Your throat burns, doesn’t it?”

    Summary

    Sharpness stares him down, Jude’s fingers drumming at a point on his abdomen. Feels warmth through the black fabric, red-hot. Briefly wants to dig his fingers into skin to see if Sharpness would bleed. 

    “Like here?” Jude asks, knowing damn well that he already knows the weak points he should be hitting.

    Summary

    “It’s okay.” He says, the only truthful answer he can offer. “It’ll be okay.”

    Altare rolls onto his back with a grunt, staring up at the starless sky. “That’s not the problem. You get what’s about to happen, right? I need you to lie for me, and I can’t tell you why.”

    That just makes us even. Flayon thinks. I lie to you all the time.

    Summary

    “Um, nothing. I was just wondering where you ran off to. You know the fire alarm went off.”

    “Really? I didn’t hear a thing down here… we should get that checked out!”

    Shuichi eyes the fire siren at the front of the room, then glances back at Ouma. The ceiling is also crowded with sprinklers, a typical safety mechanic and a requirement in any building that is going to host the public for an extended period of time. He folds his arms across his chest.

    “Okay, well, I heard it,” Ouma admits, “but not from down here! It wasn’t a lie!”

    “So you heard it when you set it off,” Shuichi guesses.

    “Right as always, detective! I mean, wrong as always! I didn’t do it! You can’t prove anything!”

    Shuichi sighs. “Of course.”

    A fire alarm can be used to alert of a fire... or a distressed Ouma-kun.
