Author's Note(s):- Written for the bingo square prompt 'road trip' for Trope Bingo Round 7 (amnesty)
- I actually started writing this before Season 4 aired, but I am the queen of procrastination so this was left untouched until recently (as in the other day and you have Yuri!!! on Ice to blame for distracting me for the past 2 and a half months). This already diverges from canon since I had Masato return to his home in Kyoto here, which is before the Triple S was even announced (and I originally planned to ignore season 3 altogether, thus disregarding the Triple S thing, but season 4 happened so I changed my mind) while in the series, he only visits his Kyoto home since he left for the academy when they were in the midst of preparing for the Triple S reevaluation and are already working on the duet project with Heavens. Oh well.
- I was planning to post this when I'm done with the entire story since this is for a challenge that's due at the end of the week. But it's getting longer than planned so I thought it best to divide this into chapters and post whatever I've finished.
- This is probably some pointless crap so read at your own risk. I will re-read and edit once I've finished but I don't think there will be any major changes, will most likely just fix grammar, tenses and spelling errors and whatnot.
- Not asking for critique, will probably do that for something more important.
- For UtaPri's side of the story, this is the first prequel to
'Paper Houses' but this is technically the second part of the 'Map of the Future ' series in terms of timeline.
