    Summary

    "I'm not yours," Ogata's words come quick, too quick. He pulls on Sugimoto's hair violently, forcing his head backwards into his neck so he has to look up at Ogata. "And I will never be. Get that into that thick skull of yours already before you regret it."

    Ogata wants to keep his distance.
    Sugimoto pulls him closer.
    Too close.

    He cries now. But he also laughs. Laughs at how he has managed to not cry and not show affection for so long. And then Sugimoto shows up, a dumb brute just rutting against Ogata and telling him about his childish feelings. And he manages to do both, to make Ogata both cry and feel. And Ogata realizes, he needs to kill him.

    Summary

    Sugimoto is so violent, Ogata thinks, so vicious with his enemies. Ogata had felt it himself on the edge of that river, feels it every day in his jaw clicking and whining at being used too roughly. Yet he’s so unfailingly kind to Asirpa, even when at least some level of his brutality is in the service of her will and her safety. It’s all blended into one man, one person Ogata can look at and look at and never understand, never surmount.

    Everything in this small life comes back to eating, and avoiding being eaten.

    Summary

    (POST CHAPTER 222)

    Cats don’t take orders. They show you their bellies only when they feel like it.

    Fortunately, it just so happened that Ogata did feel like it, when it was for Hijikata.
