    Summary

    Karamatsu didn’t anxiously twist his sleeves like Todomatsu did. He didn’t nervously pick at his skin like Jyushimatsu did. He didn’t bite at the skin of his lips like Choromatsu did. He didn’t constantly do headcounts like Osomatsu did. They all had their ways of dealing with anxiety, but Karamatsu had always been the one who went onto the roof and play music when he was nervous.

    He never did things like this.

    (Or, sometimes the people you love can be hypocritical.)

    Summary

    But no one says “but satisfaction brought it back.” No one says it because no one believes it.
    ---
    Ever since 'something', Osomatsu had caught Ichimatsu's attention.

    He wasn't sure what that 'something' was, but he felt its effects radiating off the firstborn. The beer, the forced smiles, the eyebags; they all radiate the foul sense that something was wrong.

    And yet, whether because of his stubborn pride or unnerving anxiety, Ichi couldn't bring it up within him to talk with him.

    When he gets a valuable piece of information from a crumbled magazine, he finally turns to his older brothers for help.

    Summary

    Kotoha knows, alright? Sakura, he looks at the world in a way that it betrays how he's been treated. She doesn't know the details, can only focus on giving him a home here, where he belongs. She thinks that if she ever meets them, the people who raised him to think that he was only good for violence, that nobody would care for him, she'll have to be dragged off them.

    But they love him here. All of them. He belongs to them in a way that betrays logic, betrays reasoning, betrays blood. He's loved here, and nothing will ever change that.

    One day, there's a boy in her cafe, and he has eyes that she's only seen, quite literally, once before.

    (Sakura's brother realises some things too late. He tries to make things right. He meets the people who got it right the first time around.)

    Summary

    "Ah, Umemiya-san must be hinting for the grade captains to organize something for their respective classes to do as a group. Perhaps so the members can get to know each other better."

    "I-Is that so?" Sakura hadn't picked up on that, but it did make sense.

    "That must be it! As expected of Umemiya-san," Nirei agreed, jotting something down in his notebook quickly.

    It might just be his imagination, but Sakura seemed to feel faint waves of pride radiating from Sugishita's direction. What, so that guy's awake?

    "Then, Sakura-san?" Suo looked expectantly at him.

    Right—grade captain, organize activity. That's him.

    Sakura pointed at himself. "So I..? Have to..?"

    Or: Class 1-1 goes on an onsen trip.
