    Summary

    He remembers Hizashi’s mother’s funeral, how he’d been more subdued, his brilliance more muted, than Shouta ever wanted to see again, but had kept himself together, too practiced at having all eyes on him. He remembers how he fell to pieces in Shouta’s arms that night. He remembers holding him, rocking him, not caring when his sobs were too shrill and loud to be comfortable. He remembers Hizashi apologizing for breaking down.

    That was the person he’d shared a home with, and nowhere can he find the man who’d stood in front of him and so calmly wrenched his heart from his chest.
