Summary
The real him. Isn’t he already showing it? It would have been simple to deny it, if not for the constant suffocating labels that define him.
Wise is a Proxy, Phaethon, the eldest brother, the provider, the owner of a video store, and the good friend. Every one of these titles comes with its own set of expectations. He feels compelled to shoulder each one, to live up to them, and to uphold them for the sake of Belle and himself. But now, beneath Harumasa’s unwavering gaze, all Wise wants is to strip away every single one of those defining roles and surrender to the raw, selfish desire building inside him. To take what is being offered and simply act on his own wants.
When was the last time he’s simply been just Wise? What is one selfish moment, just for a few hours, compared to the heavy weight of responsibilities he’s inevitably going to pick up again come morning?
On the night before departing to Waifei Peninsula, Wise finds Harumasa at his door and brings him upstairs to talk.
