    Summary

    After the war, Shouta started counting. He counted his own steps, his breaths, the fucking pens on the desks in the teacher’s lounge. But most importantly, he counted his students every single day. He counted them in class, on the training grounds, at lunch, even on the weekends in the dorm common room. He counted them because he was terrified he’d lose another one. Aoyama was in jail with his parents after his betrayal. While every single one of them was injured in the war, they were all still alive. They were all so wonderfully alive, and Shouta knew - without a single shred of doubt - that he no longer had control over the safety of his students’ lives.

    And it terrified him.

    OR: Shouta spends a night battling his own demons, and though he might be strong enough to resist, the reality that he might not be in control of everything is a hard truth he needs to face.
