Summary
Imagine that this is the real beginning; you are facing him across a deserted alleyway and he is the one with the wine bottle in hand, a cheap red with a screw cap already drunk down to the dregs. This is not long after you bury your father. You’re dressed in white because you only gave yourself a day to mourn. When you see the door open and the shadows regurgitate him out into the night, you can tell that he too must know a little about mourning.

if I ever build a house by strikinglight for brella
Fandoms: 風が強く吹いている | Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru | Run with the Wind (Anime)

Summary
“Anyway, Musa, who’s been talking to you about cryptids? Did one of the senpai start telling strange stories about the house again?”
Again, meaning this is a thing they do often. Musa can believe it, in a house like this, so old it seems like it’s seen everything and admitted all sorts. That the strange story that concerns him at the moment is one about Shindo, however, seems unwise to voice.
“I think it’s just someone…” He lets the sentence trail, shuffling through the pages of an imaginary textbook for the proper idiom, suddenly shy. The answer doesn’t come until they’ve crossed the last street, Kansei’s gates already rising at the end of the upward-sloping road. “Just someone pulling my leg, Shindo-san.”
In which Chikusei-so is full of mysteries, and Musa is always just about to discover something.

Summary
It could be there’s a story here, thinks Haiji, at the corner store one Sunday evening in the fall, weighing up a bottle of shampoo in his hand. It could turn out very typical, given that it starts, as too many stories do, with the arrival of a stranger.
In which Haiji and Fujioka meet again.

Summary
Be well, he used to say. More than once. Far more than just once, the tone a little different every time—here a blessing, there a plea, here what would almost have been a command, if he’d been that kind of man.
Be well, Kiyose.
Turn the words around in the light and they change, and it’s funny now to imagine he had ever thought Fujioka might be simple.
I’m trying, Fujioka. I’m trying.
In which Haiji and Fujioka take two journeys—one going forward, and one going back.

Summary
“You chasing a story here, Yumeno Gentaro?”
Samatoki knows here could be Chuuoku, or this sorry excuse for a victory party, or this moment. He doesn’t offer clarification. Gentaro, stubbing out his burnt-down cigarette on the white marble, doesn’t ask.
Yumeno Gentaro has a pretty smile, and makes no sound at all when he moves.

Summary
“I’m just making a play at being grown up, the same as you. Isn’t that how it feels, sometimes?”
Ichiro huffs a laugh, rough and ragged and a little breathless with everything he won’t say to you. “That’s how it feels all the time to me. I wonder if it’ll change, ever.”
In which Nemu returns to Tokyo, and pays an important call.

Summary
“She’s probably missing you, you know, after you held off last year.” The way Juto says it is unsentimental enough, like clean fact, like talking about the weather forecast and other things that are more likely to be true than not, and that’s precisely what makes Samatoki scowl and exhale a smokescreen hard in his direction.
The news said it might rain tonight. She’s probably missing you.
“It’s not like I wanted to,” Samatoki mutters. “Shit happens. Nemu knows that better than anyone.”
In which Samatoki returns home by sea.

Summary
Tonight you’ve decided you want to play at testing limits, to see what he does and doesn’t care about, what you can try to take that he’ll let you have. The bottle in your hand, already drunk down to the dregs, is the first thing. The easy thing. The second thing is the cigarette you snatch from between his lips without asking, and the third is the long drag you take from it without lowering your eyes.
Five things you take from him, and one you give.
