Summary
Whumptober 2023 Day 14: Flare/Water Inhalation/Just hold on
Don’t dip your toe in the water and expect not to get wet.
It’s an idiom Reigen grew up hearing tossed around his household. His mother shouted it with worried hands and fling wrists when Reigen toed the line of something silly or stupid. His father spat it when Reigen came back with sloppy test results and bruised knees and homework blotted with red ink. His sister sighed it with murmured words when Reigen shuffled in with a muddy face and tardy notices. Don’t dip your toe in the water and expect not to get wet. Don’t do anything without expecting consequences.
Reigen thought it such a negative, despairing way to live.
Or
Too hot in Seasoning City for work, Reigen takes the boys on a much needed swim. He watches them, mindful of the scar on his back. Maybe a quick wade would do him good.
