I was telling my older sister (who doesn't like anime sadly) about Nices death at the end of season one. "Figures the nice ones always die" was her response.

This was amazing! You wrote all of the characters so perfectly!

It's here. Let's hope ffnet doesn't cut this off.
Chapter three:

That's a cool introduction for Shinya, poor kid who I don't even know well at all anyway but I feel for a lot since it really does give a good idea about the Fear. I love him already and look forward to learning more. Poor kid.

Ratio's interactions with Nakamura and Birthday are so good! That subtle worldbuilding is *makes grabby hands* and ooooooo

- Ratio glares at the smug hunch in his shoulders. That annoying smirk skewers him. "You… are my only failure."

Wow. Okay. Take my heart and- yeah, just go and take it. I look forward to it being ripped apart a few scenes/chapters later.

(Also, I did not know that "incased" was an acceptable synonym for "encased". English is so astounding, I love it.)

RIP, Tanabe's coffee. You were once loved.

Ah Yes. Murasaki's interest grows. Murasaki's interest groooowwwwwsssssssss. Not much to say about the scene since it's fairly straight-forward (just like Murasaki, ahaha that's funny /shot) but that growing interest! Yes. Yes. Good. Also, good headcanon. Very good.

Time for chapter four.

- "they happen to have a Minimum specialist on their payroll"
DON'T TELL ME DESTINY

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE DOING THIS-

- "Murasaki steps out of the vehicle before a huge, Western-style house."
NO

- Murasaki bows his head a bit. "Excuse me, Moral. I have something to ask of you. May I come in?"

GET OUT except don't actually get out I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THIS IS VERY GOOD /signs up/ /signs up again/ Take all my love Destiny. All my love.

-ahem-

It amused me a lot when Moral's smile was like a grimace. And no tea. Wonderful. The perfect insult. Moral was fond of Art, while he's definitely not as fond of Murasaki.

- ".. To have our texts wiped clean—like a dressing on an unsightly wound. How alike we must be. .."

Backstory! Foreshadowing! YES! Oh, Moral. He knows so much more than he lets on. Murasaki's gone and done his thing again, where he jumps into water without checking its depth. His track record isn't great but let's hope the Hamatoraluck kicks in and he doesn't drown...

And then Art comes in. This chapter is to give my soul for but I get the feeling I'll run out of things to give you very quickly. Very quickly. (That bubble tea. Amazing.)

Catch-22. /slowclap/

I would end up quoting the entire exchange between Art and Birthday just because it's absolute gold ("personally speaking" "put my résumé in order") but gosh. The amount of money Birthday has. Very nice. For that kind of income, he's somewhere very high up on that ladder. They're both keeping their connections together.

(Also, the fact that Art and Birthday get a scene talking to each other together is so good. They needed more of that in canon.)

Shinya suffers. Explanations about Minimums. Shinya has no idea what a Minimum is. The plot thickens.

And done!

It's interesting you mention the first two scenes bothering you because reasons because they were the only scenes which have managed to send me to screaming on twitter at the same time as I'm screaming in this review. So. Take that how you will? (I am awfully biased about the character interactions, though.)

Chapter 4? Chapter 4! GASP. Where did my chapter 3 alert go? (I haven't read either yet, just letting you know I'll include the review for both together c': )

Well now, this seems interesting. And I like the fic's title even if it doesn't make sense to me right now :) :)
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Hello, sorry for being slightly late, long story short: I am Dying. (Let's see how coherent this goes.)

"The blunt kid with the headphones" AAAA I love how Gasuke is just so /resigned/ at this point, he cares so much but there's nothing he can do D:

(I admit I paused a bit at Nijima, just to wonder about the characters in his name... but I'm guessing he's a throwaway. Poor guy.)

Very high amounts of buzzing happened at "severance package" and that whole deduction and then Art's vehicle pulling up to clean up the mess - Oh, Nice. 'repairs he either can't afford or will never actually pay for.' It's always everyone else who cleans up after you.

(Also extra buzzing at the fact that unconsciousness means it's a bit harder to do things. I suppose it's better than being attacked by various Minimums, though.)

MURASAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Are you still leading the unit that deals with 'these types of groups'?" / "You know I am." / "I see."
I love this. This ticks so many things I Like. I love this so much. These guys and their dynamic, so... precious? So very intense and sometimes unwelcoming.

((Very Dismissable Sidenote: Art gives Koneko his best smile and my inner ship trash intensified. Well. Okay. Special request for more Art and Koneko interaction? Koneko and Master are so important. Master's thoughts about Art were so wonderful. I love them so much.))

I find it curious Koneko is using the -san for Art - I was wondering earlier if Art perhaps did not know Nice back from Facultas, and wonder what you've gone and changed there...

"the familiar absurdity of panes with no windows"
So familiar. So great. So normal is the mess and chaos that Nice drags behind him.

Set everything up to tear down? Yay. Yaaaay. I love this, how everything is so transparent but there's still so much of the world we still don't know.

IT'S ALL DOWNHILL INDEEEDDDDDDDDDDD

Honestly I don't even know what to say but this was really exciting! And exciting! And I swear, it's not only because of the hype (though it partially is) - the mood is so rough and noir and there's that mysterious edge and I love that stuff so much. So much. AHHHH

Murasaki!

"It may seem like bullying, but truly, The Family is the only thing keeping the suits in Facultas from owning all of Yokohama .. This Protection Service is real, whether the people believe it or not."

Murasakii!

"And for Murasaki, in that moment, this man whose heart has never raced, who knows no such things as anxiousness or uncertainty—his hands are trembling."

MURASAKIIIIIIIII

*screams because of What You Did To Him*

*still screaming because YES GOOD SIGNED UP COMPLETELY*

And then
" It was badly subtitled in a handful of languages and showed up on international conspiracy blogs."

g ood. Good. GOOD.

Such fun capturing of Nice's bunny-ears-lawyer-ness in not only his mannerisms (easier through the door!) but in his general existence altogether. Fun. Fuuuunnnnnnn. I love the insight into his thoughts too~~

Great opening! So much anticipation and Cool Setup! Now time to roll around excitedly and wait for moreeee~

p.s. I squee'd at the title. Good nerding. *thumbs up*
