#...come to think about that she's not the only person who temporarily leaves the minamoto mansion to hang out with kantarou

[desperatepleasures]

ok the thing you need to understand about ayame is. ok she was born to be used in a ritual by her brother, to bring back haruka's old master so that haruka could regain his full power, so that her brother could then get bragging rights for defeating haruka at full power. and then taxidermy him but whatever. ayame knew nothing about any of this at the time and when the ritual fails (well, technically succeeds but haruka and kantarou get away) her family completely ignores her because she's now Useless to them. so ayame, born into this wealthy family who she thought loved her, is now completely emotionally cut off from her family and has nowhere left to turn. so naturally she has an emotional breakdown.

but what does she do with this breakdown? does she sit in her room and cry while listening to what was I made for by billie eilish on repeat?

no. she goes to kantarou's house and gets daydrunk with him.
