Langa asks for some advice about Reki. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Kaoru tells Langa about his friendship with Kojiro, and how it’s worth the risk confessing to your best friend even if they don’t feel the same. Kojiro would just like to know when this all happened.

Summary
An alternate ending to Banana Fish where Ash and Eiji get a chance at a happy ending after everything they've been through together.
I've made some changes to the original plot. Ibe is Eiji's stepfather here, and his father, mother, and sisters are introduced as new characters. I decided to base this on my headcanons because there's relatively little information about Eiji's canon family in the show.

Summary
After Ash is shot, Eiji nurses him back to health. The two of them realize there’s more to their relationship than friendship, which only makes it more painful when Ash forces Eiji to return to Japan. Thankfully, Ash isn’t far behind him. Fate takes them to Japan. Hard work and genuine love and affection, both from Eiji and his family, begin to heal Ash. Fifteen-year-old Ash could never have imagined his heart capable of love. Now, he can’t imagine a life without love, a life without the Okumuras.
