    Summary

    "Do you want to try feeling inside me again?" Hikaru asks, eyes bright.

    "Would I learn anything new, doing it again?" Yoshiki asks a little skeptically. He has tried it twice already, and if anything, he understands Hikaru less.

    "Probably not," Hikaru says, but he hasn't moved, and his eyes remain fixed on Yoshiki.

    Yoshiki knows that it would be colossally stupid. He's messing with things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't really need Kurebayashi's warnings to know it's dangerous for himself and those around him. He worries that with each brush against whatever lies beneath Hikaru's skin, he loses more of his humanity, that someday he'll be corrupted beyond recognition.

    And yet, a part of him wants.

    In which Yoshiki takes a break from research to try touching Hikaru again.

    Summary

    "Kaoru…" Yoshiki tries to meet her eyes. "I think Yurie-chan probably was one. Queer, I mean. That's why she moved away."

    "Yeah," says Kaoru. "I think so too."

    It suddenly strikes Yoshiki that he has no clue how to broach this topic. That he's sat here, trying to sooth Kaoru like he's not been keeping the very same secret locked up for seventeen years. "Kaoru, are ya worried that… or do ya just wanna tell me that… y'think yer gay as well?"

    "I don't know," she painfully whispers.

    There's something wrong with Hikaru and Yoshiki, and Kaoru knows it. There's something wrong with her, and she's less sure of that.

    Summary

    In response, Hikaru merely laughed, bright and cheery and airy as ever. But Asako couldn't stop hearing that echo. Like someone shouting through a chasm. A sound only she could hear.

    Or... Asako confronts her fears and bonds with the monster :)
