Original Release: September 3, 2020 (Fanfiction.net), September 4, 2020 (AO3)

Summary

Two days after their breakup, Makoto and Kyoko both receive messages from the other asking to meet up and talk. Eager for an opportunity to patch things up and apologize, they both meet in the Dining Hall. But did those messages really come from them?

Tropes

• Brick Joke: Two chapters ago, Makoto mentions to Kyoko that he's going to start locking his door. Here, Sayaka and Leon accidentally walk into his room after he and Kyoko had sex due to him forgetting to lock his door.
• Forged Message: Junko, with Chihiro's help, is able to lure Makoto and Kyoko to the Dining Hall by sending the two e-mails pretending to be the other person asking for an apology.
• Primal Scene: A non-parent/child example. Sayaka and Leon accidentally walk in on Makoto and Kyoko after the latter couple had sex due to Makoto not locking his door.
• Shipper with an Agenda: Present!Makoto and Present!Kyoko think to themselves that, in hindsight, Junko was this when she helped them get back together.
