    Summary

    Isagi Yoichi has plenty on his plate - juggling a degree abroad, a tight student budget, and a new part-time job looking after the three-year old daughter of a well-off German family. Trying to stay grounded as he tussles with the loss of the familiar and the creeping self-doubt about whether any of his big life decisions were the right ones, the last thing he needs is more reasons to lose sleep at night.

    Enter his charge's older brother, Michael Kaiser.

    Summary

    '“Kaiser,” he starts to say, “I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but are you really okay?”

    And he’s not sure, even afterwards, what it is that makes this his breaking point.

    Whether it’s the fact that he’s so far away from home, feeling like he’s unmoored himself from reality in this surreal, unfamiliar place, or whether he’s just so tired, so defenceless without the fire burning through him and its fumes obscuring the things he does not want to handle.

    He’s not sure, if it’s because Isagi is the farthest thing from a friend or the closest thing he has to familiarity right now, but he hears himself say, “My father died,” out loud, for the first time since he got the news.'

    Summary

    “You don’t have to worry about me.”

    But Nagi does. Because Isagi’s so self destructive. Because in the desperate attempt to get stronger, in any and all ways, he’ll tear down himself and hurt himself. Because he’s so against asking for help, because he’s so egotistical, Nagi worries.

    aka: the 5 times Nagi worries about Isagi, and the 1 time Isagi lets him.
