A post-canon, pre-reunion No. 6 playlist for Shion. This playlist follows Shion from the end of Volume 9, through Beyond, until just before he reunites with Rat. It concludes right before the events of my story, Summer Rain.

In the Country - La Luz There isn't one thing that I wouldn't do for you Why leave?

Good Grief - Dessa But I’m willing to work for this Just show me where to dig And I’m ready to hurt for this

I Don't Trust U Anymore - Left at London As a kid, I was idolizing millionaires and all the presidents But I don't trust them anymore No way, no way, no, not again And I may never trust at all No way, no way, I'm over them

Working for the Knife - Mitski I always thought the choice was mine And I was right, but I just chose wrong I start the day lying and end with the truth That I'm dying for the knife

Glass House - Screaming Females Whose house is this? A gift was promised Future structures till we all vanish

The Center Won't Hold - Sleater-Kinney I need a real affliction Gives me a reason to stay I need a new reflection Don't wanna see my face

Fear the Future - St. Vincent When the Earth split in two I was I, you were you I run for you Run for me, too

Kokomo, IN - Japanese Breakfast God, I wish we could go back there Left alone in my room I know they deserve you too And maybe I'm not that worthy

#no. 6 #no.6 novel #no. 6 shion #no.6 shion #nezushi #More description:#In Beyond we see that Shion is super depressed and we see him make a power grab #so this is about his journey from grief over Safu's death and Rat's departure to trying to do the work on the Restructuring Committee #but eventually realizing that they're STUCK in old patterns all the other cities suck too so there is no just future in reform #1 is the end of Vol 9 where - why can't we just make this into somewhere we can both live #2 is about Shion trying to work through his grief re Safu (and Rat leaving) to do the work of “restructuring”#3 is his motivation for breaking shit down and “restructuring”#4-6 about realizing that “restructuring” is insufficient because all the city-states are fundamentally exploitative #7-8 are about essentially giving up and desperately wanting to see Rat again #And some extraneous info...#1 La Luz is a Seattle based all-women group and their instrumentals are HYPNOTIC imo #2 Good Grief seems really good for Shion dealing with losing Safu and not having time to process until way after #3 re the l@l song I feel like shion is like ok nezumi told me not to change but i also can't trust anything i ever learned before this #i know shion did not idolize the president but he was TAUGHT to do that and the point is he doesn't know where to look for guidance bc #Rat is gone. but like also i wonder if he's like wow i've basically just been dumped fuck the world #Left at London is a trans woman who sings about cool shit like taking down the government so she had to be here #4 i feel like after he kicks Yomin off the RC he's probably like that was for sure the wrong decision and also i should have gone with my b #also i love mitski and was deciding btw this one & Nobody #5 this is like extreme disillusionment. we were supposed to be doing something good but it's all still rotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#screaming females is also all women and so are the next ones so this is unintentionally an all women playlist haha #6 i love sleater-kinney and i feel like this fits shion well bc he was sort of everyone's light and now he's like never smiling #(per Karan in his Beyond chapter)#7 is so relatable. like please just tell me what's coming next!!!!#8 is the long distance theme song fr + i love japanese breakfast
