Summary
Wait.” Chidi growled, grabbing his wrist before he could snap his fingers. “I’m the professor here. It’s your turn Micheal.”
He had an odd dangerous look in his eyes, that made Eleanor eye him warily. “Chidi you okay?”
“Perfectly fine Eleanor. Now Micheal I want you to put Tahani, Jason, and Janet on the track, along with two random innocent people.”
Micheal shrugged “and the other lever?”
“Eleanor.”

Summary
"Every time Nanika granted a wish, there was an equivalent exchange. Her powers didn’t spawn things into existence, rather, they either brought them to the wisher, or they converted one energy into another. When one of the butlers asked for money, an airship went off course and then dropped it onto her. When Nanika healed a bird, Alluka had to sleep for almost an entire day afterwards; Nanika converted some of Alluka’s health to that of the bird’s. If he asked her to bring Gon back to life, well…."
Good or bad; right or wrong; need or want. Killua had a moral quandry on his hands, and the power to ultimately decide: Gon or Alluka?

Summary
Choking on a buffalo wing while drowning his sorrows over a combo platter at TGIFridays wasn’t on Michael’s list of ‘Preferred Ways to Die.’ And a broken heart sure as shirt wasn’t on his list of ‘Reasons He Would Keep Failing His Test in the Afterlife.’ But the possibility of him never making it into the Good Place is why Janet (literally) reassembles the Soul Squad – and what they owe Michael is why Eleanor doesn’t hesitate to team up with her friends one last time to try and save their favorite former fire-squid.
...She just needs to finish that margarita first.

I held him, gently. One arm under his arm, the other over his shoulder. Face turned to the sun. A pietà.
"Don't you think right now is good?" I asked. "We're warm. We're safe. You smell delicious."
"My throat's on fire," he reminded me, peevishly. "Which means you're certainly not safe."

Summary
Adam loved to travel. It was one of the reasons he'd helped design the Jet Lag concept. It brought him to places he would otherwise never go, showed him sights both famous and entirely unknown. It was the thrill of competition mixed with the joy of discovery. From that perspective, the rippling metallic tunnel in the cliff face ahead of them ought to fill him with delight, for it was certainly like nothing he'd ever seen before.
The problem was, there were no trains. There were no cell phones. There were no cameras, at least not ones under his control. And he and Ben were playing for their lives.

Summary
He hovers his hand over the black button, frozen only by the thought of his mother. How will she feel when she gets the news that her son died, killed by an egomaniac villain who decided to play with the Bad Kids like pieces on a game board? Freshman year ended just two weeks ago. This was supposed to be a relaxing summer, one that Riz could spend with his mom without the stressors of classes and homework on his plate. He should’ve cooked her dinner after long days at work and made her coffee in the mornings.
But he knows he has to make this sacrifice. He knows it because it just makes sense. One life for five. A trolley problem and a prisoner’s dilemma, wrapped up with a bow and dropped at his feet like an unwanted Moonar Yulenear present. He’s a logical person and this is the logical choice.
Riz presses the black button.
