    Summary

    He survived the library. Now comes the hard part: living.

    Ash makes it out. But surviving was never going to be the finish line. Recovery is messy, and nobody hands you a manual for "after."

    These stories will explore that after; hospital rooms, healing, found family, the people who refuse to let go of him, the slow, stubborn work of learning to be loved. And somewhere along the way, it becomes the road to a life in Tokyo.

    Most of these will focus Ash and Eiji, but some will zoom in on the other people in their lives!

    Each chapter stands on its own
    Pick one calls to you and read it as a one-shot.

    But they also form one continuous timeline, so if you follow it start to finish, you'll watch Ash and Eiji build that "after" one small, hard-won piece at a time. (๑•᎑•๑)
