His Sword of Damocles never falls.

The burden of killing another king doesn't tip the scale far enough, not when beast within him calms the moment he knows that Totsuka's murderer is no more ━ when he finds peace, even if only for that brief moment.

Munakata has him hauled off to SCEPTER 4's headquarters before Mikoto can contemplate on what to do next, even as the red clansmen protest and ready themselves to fight for their king. This isn't how it was supposed to go down, Mikoto thinks as he finds himself shackled once more. He was supposed to die then and there, even if it meant burdening the Blue King, not return to a makeshift-prison.

Mikoto has to hand it to Munakata's right hand. Awashima draws up a plan on how to keep him under control immediately, the relaxants prescribed to him knocking him out cold more often than not. Mikoto figures the dosage must be high enough to tranquilize a horse or two. It'd be amusing if it wasn't been so incredibly frustrating.

Although the Red King is certain that Munakata must be more frustrated than him. Mikoto can't promise that he won't cause a Damocles Down the moment he is set free, and Munakata can't risk the city's safety again.

Mikoto wishes to leave his burdens behind and rest, and Munakata wishes to save him.

The impasse they reach seems insurmountable.

At least they allow him visitors after a few weeks. Kusanagi and Anna, although unhappy with the circumstances, can both not deny that Mikoto is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Neither of them posses any power to object the Blue King's decision, either, especially with the Gold King remaining quiet on the matter and the Silver King gone.

They fill him in on the Red Clan's well-being. Yata trying to convince them to storm SCEPTER 4's headquarters. Bandō and Shōhei making plans to open a small restaurant. Chitose and Dewa being away from the rest of the clan more often than they used to, just like Erik and Kōsuke. Kamamoto and Yata running into more gangs looking to take HOMRA's territory than before.

It's Kusanagi and Anna's eighth or ninth visit that has Mikoto call in Munakata and tell him he's ready to negotiate. In spite of Munakata's inquiries, he never reveals what they told him that prompts his sudden change of heart. Instead, they draw up an agreement. The Red King may no longer use the powers granted to him by the Dresen Slate. The Red King may be subject to screenings every two weeks. The Red King will remain under SCEPTER 4's supervision until further notice. The Red King may be taken into custody whenever deemed necessary by SCEPTER 4. His freedom has so many strings attached that Mikoto doesn't bother keeping track them. He thinks that even Munakata feels bad imposing such restrictions on him, but it's a necessary evil.

When he returns to HOMRA, he ignores the collective wave of relief that seems to go through his clansmen and promptly retreats to his room.

And so, even though he's free, the Red King remains isolated for the most part ━ if he can even call himself that anymore at this point. When he does leave, he does so when only few of his clansmen are around, and then he leaves the bar to take a stroll around the city. Sometimes Anna accompanies him. Most of the time he tells her she needs to stay with Kusanagi or Yata.

The problem lies within the gangs trying to chase them out of this part of the city. Word that the Red King has returned but seems to have lost his fire goes around quick. Men that previously cowered in fear before him now seek him out boldly, thinking that they can take him out now.

Only that Mikoto is a dangerous man even when he doesn't use his powers. Even the blue clansmen that must be watching him dare not interfering.

Until he almost sets an abandoned mall on fire, that is. The powers in him howl when a knife is buried into his right shoulder. Burn.

He hears his Sword of Damocles groaning above.

By the time reinforcements from SCEPTER 4 appear there's only ashen bodies left of his adversaries, and he still wants more, more, more. When he turns to face the men that arrived at the scene just now, he can see the fear in their eyes as they reach for their sabers. There's only one pair of eyes that looks back at him unwavering.

Suddenly, the air is knocked out of him and the flames around him sizzle away instantaneously, the scorching heat replaced with a pleasant chill. Such is the power of the Blue King. And for the first time since they've met, Mikoto remains rooted in his spot rather than jumping at the opportunity of fighting against Munakata immediately.

It's Awashima's voice that commands him to come with them without resistance, yet Mikoto doesn't take his eyes off of the other King until he complies. No one puts handcuffs on him, and surprisingly, when they reach the headquarters of SCEPTER 4, they don't lead him to a prison cell, either. Instead, Munakata tells his subordinates that he will take care of their guest and beckons him to follow him to his office. Sullenly, Mikoto follows with his hands buried in his pockets.

He doesn't need to look Munakata in the eye again to know that the men is less than pleased about the circumstances. If Mikoto were a better man, he'd apologize, and promise to be better. But he's not, and so he stands in the frame of the door and looks around the other's office. Nothing is out of place, the furniture immaculately clean. It suits Munakata, no doubt. "That's a first, you bringin' me here. What, you afraid I'll blow up your prison again?" Although Awashima might be calling for a doctor to prepare his medication right now. Munakata adjusts his glasses with a sigh ━ a gesture that Mikoto finds oddly annoying ━ before he answers. "I'm merely reassuring myself that you are aware of our current situation. But before that…" The Blue King gestures to the couch. For a moment, Mikoto remains where he is, watching as the other man moves to a cupboard and rummages in one of its drawers. He seems to not even doubt that the Red King will do as he's told.

Huffing softly, Mikoto collapses into the cushions, keeping his eyes on Munakata. He can't help but frown when he spots the first aid kit in the other's hands. Ah. He did get stabbed, didn't he? It's only now that he feels the sting of the wound again, his clothes and skin caked with blood. The thought of Munakata being concerned about such a wound under the current situation makes him snort, and the Blue King levels him with an unimpressed glance.

" ━ Don't look at me like that, Munakata. I'm tryin' my best here," he drawls, a lopsided smirk curling his lips. It's no lie. Keeping himself under control has always been a challenge, and it always had been Totsuka who could calm him down in an instance. Who, even though he was weak, wasn't afraid of him. With his vassal gone… There's no one else that can tame the fire within him quite so easily.

No one except the Blue King counterposing his powers with his own.

BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn't figure out why?? So I asked if he'd changed his hair and he was like "BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY"

[gay-otlc]

Idk I feel like "Men are responsible for their own actions, women aren't to blame for men being misogynistic" and "You do not have to tolerate bigotry from others, call them out on that shit" and "People may be less likely to become radicalized if they receive kindness and compassion" don't have to contradict each other
