#yuki on sora's body

[starclast]

Two sides ⚖

[dragon-in-the-watery-bowl]

After weeks of work and agony, i finally did some sprite edits of my own, ending up with these 4 AU versions of the DRA/SDRA2 characters:

She Was Saved AU!Akane (An AU version of Akane Taira who survived her canonical death, and now travels Japan alongside Yuki Maeda to help those suffering because of the Tragedy)

10 Years Later!Yuki (An 29-30 years old Yuki Maeda, who has lived on Akane Taira's body for 10 years after the end of Mikado Sannoji's killing game, and has changed into an appearance he's more confortable with)

10 Years Later!Mikado (An 20-30-something years old Mikado Sannoji, who has lived on Akane Taira's body for 10 years after he succesfully stole the Divine Luck and escaped his virtual prison, who now is creating a new Void to continue with his nefarious plans)

The Algorithm (An Alter Ego AI created from Sora's original algorithm, who doesn't have neither Akane Taira/Sora's memories and humanity nor any desires besides doing what's she's told, that now lives without purpose now that Mikado Sannoji's master plan was stopped)

Sprites available here: (Akane), (Sora!Yuki), (Sora!Mikado), (Algorithm)

Akane, beyond the grave: *steals her ex-friend's ultimate talent*

Jokes aside, the wheel chose Sora to be the Ultimate Merchant, so that's fun! Designing her outfit was interesting since I know Akane would take her role as a merchant seriously, but since Sora is (supposedly) an amnesiac, she would not have the memories that would influence her personality and decision-making, let alone her tastes in fashion. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I approached this design not by thinking on what Akane would wear, but rather what Sora would cobble together upon waking up the first time and what peaked her interest as an Ultimate Merchant.

In Sora's OG design, she was just wearing a regular school uniform, and in Teruya's designs, they were either a school uniform he personally designed himself, so he was doing self-promotion by physically wearing his own product, or just a regular suit underneath a very iconic coat with a hat, scarf and goggles which were all mementos of people he held dear. Both are good designs in their own right, although Sora's was definitely the simplest and perhaps uninteresting between the two of them. And considering that a part of being a merchant is making an impression on your customers and fellow businesspeople, Ultimate Merchant Sora can't look too simple to the point that she just blends in with a crowd. So I decided to go with an outfit that's similar in it's simplicity like her uniform but leaning a bit more towards a business-like vibe. So now she has a button-up, a shorter skirt, replaced her ascot with a tie, gave her a jacket to help her stick out more, and made her socks shorter along with some transparent tights underneath. While Akane is pretty professional in her design (when not in Despair), Sora comes off as someone who's much more casual in personality, hence why her button-up has it's collar popped open a bit and is untucked, her tie is a bit loose, and her original mary janes were replaced with sneakers. I also gave her skirt and jacket her matching criss-cross plaid pattern as not only was it an iconic part of her OG design, but I think Sora would choose this pattern to stand out thanks to her instinct as the Ultimate Merchant. Her hair went through some minor changes as I wanted to reference my Akane redesign's bang hairstyle a bit by giving Sora a similar style, just with a straighter style as Akane's hair is a bit more...floofier, to say the least. I also moved Sora's ponytail over her shoulder cause I wanted it to be more visible and as I mentioned in my Kiyoka redesign, making a low ponytail visible in a front-facing sprite like this one can get lost behind the body. I think it looks kinda nice like this. I stuck to her black, white, and red color palette and thus, we are done with Sora.

Next up is Kokoro!

Considering Sora is supposed to be Akane (but not really) in original canon, Sora's "backstory" might as well be her past up to the DRA events, but one that she had completely forgotten due to her amnesia. Since I mentioned not going with the Neo World Program setting for the killing game back in my Swap Talent Yoruko post, I'm gonna approach this as if Sora really was Akane and not just an algorithm put together to protect Yuki and attached to Akane's brain (or however this game described it on how Sora can be familiar with the DRA events but not know them).

Honestly, the most that would change from this is that Akane was supposed to die at the end of the DRA events but when her body inherited Divine Luck, she ended up surviving instead. But due to her injuries and being underwater for so long, even the Divine Luck couldn't keep her memories intact, so when she woke up in a hospital, she literally didn't know who she was and could only think of "Sora" as a name. So, unable to remember who she really is and the horrible things she's done, Sora kinda just...goes off to do her own thing as she searches for answers on who she is. In the process, she realizes that she has a distinct talent in business, and she uses them to buy and sell products to try and help others during the Tragedy. Which she's able to do very well...with a bit of luck. (I always considered that Divine Luck isn't the most active when the user isn't consciously aware that they have it. It's how DRA!Yuki had Divine Luck the whole time but people still died/bad things still happened because he just wasn't aware that he has a literal deus ex machina that is Divine Luck, and the only times it became active in his subconscious was when he was involved in a game reliant on luck or willed for a scenario so badly that it just happened, like with what happened with Kinjo in Chapter 5. Same with Sora in canon and it's basically the same here.) So Sora starts making headway with her reputation, with some people even calling her the "Ultimate Merchant" although she laughs it off since she doesn't have any papers to prove she was ever an Ultimate (she was). Mikado finds out about this, curiously looks into it since "Hey, wasn't there an Ultimate Merchant in the Proto-Killing Game?", and, after a lot of digging, he figures out that Sora is most likely Akane who managed to survive her fate from DRA, most likely due to her own luck. But of course, he never figured out that she has THE Divine Luck, he just assumed that either her Fortune pulled through for her or Utsuro blessed her a second time to save her life before dying. Either way, he needed an extra player since his class only had fourteen students, and who would be better than the accomplice to the mastermind herself? And oooh, how convenient, she also has amnesia so she can't blab about how strangely similar these events are in her previous killing game (although to say everything goes according to Mikado's plan would be a lie). So he snatches her up and does some convenient memory science alterations with the help of Void, more on that in future posts, to make her believe that this is her first time waking up and is a part of their class in this strange killing game when really, none of them had met her until now.

And to make matters worse, it's through this killing game that Sora finally starts to find out who she is and what her past was. And OH boy, would that hit her like a fucking truck to find out that she was a Despair and even got most of her real classmates and friends killed for the sake of her Master Utsuro. Since she has no memories of when she was Akane Taira, the dissonance between her past self and her current self is VERY strong and she's riddled with a huge sense of guilt and shame. Even to the very end, she never fully remembers her past, but she does take responsibility for her past actions even if she'll never forgive herself as Akane Taira.

[PRESS] "They're gunna love you darlin'" - from Huck IDEK maybe she's meeting his enormous family

"What if they don't? I still can't remember half their names," Sora whined sitting beside him in his red vintage ranger. Every gesture of nervousness was present in Sora's body language as they made their way to Huck's family home in Seattle. Her fingers fidgeted with hem of her olive dress she had purchased with Maria amongst many other pieces of clothing that weren't boiler suits and cargo pants, while her other arm hugged Huck's bicep.

"And do they even know what we do for a living? Who we really work for?", she murmured under her breathe. Yuki who was none the wiser stuck her out the passenger window, enjoying every moment of the breeze through her fur and ears in the wind.

TS4: Senni's presets for cute boys

I didn't plan to public this because it's far from perfection, or just being good… But I just discarded of 90% of project I work on for last 2 months (only in my free time, so it is why so long) and felt guilty that I didn't post anything for so long…

So I decided to upload presets I made for my cute male OCs quite some time ago. I wanted them to be on male frames because of face features but have more soft/feminine body because I just want to.

[ask-olive-huchers]

just for funnies, I'm gonna do a relationship chart thingy realll quick with the characters Olive has interacted with (plus maple, Chris, Ditch, and pebble bc they technically have met but there's so roleplay for them-)

Olive and Bailey: close friends, kinda like siblings! Olive definitely sees him as a big brother, though! And (don’t tell anyone!), They definitely look up to Bailey a lot

Olive and Sora: close! Sora is like the mother of the group, so naturally Olive see's him as a role model!

Olive and Zaria: they know she helped Rowan with her plan. So. hate.

Olive and jasper: ehh, neutral (ish). Just has fun messing with him most of the time. So I guess possibly another brother figure idk

Olive and Rowan: despises. Hates. Would kill. Could kill. It’s their fault. Or, that’s what olive thinks anyway.

• Olive and Finn: neutral. Not much to say in this in, olive just doesn't really know Finn that much.

Olive and Jay: ZERO OUT OF TEN. HATE EACHOTHER, DEARLY. WOULD PUNCH THIS MAN FOR A CRUMB OF BREAD BRO. ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM SHUT UP.

Olive and Skipp: do I even need to explain this one? ok, fine. Olive definitely "likes" Skipp. Let's put in simple terms for now, shall we?

Olive and Yuki: Dislike. Only bc bro was in a bad mood when they had met. Then again Olives kinda always in a bad mood, so..-

Olive and Ray: sorta dislike. Only because they had a bad first impression as well. But all of Olive's first impressions involve anger so..no hard feelings?

Olive and Quinn: a like for sure. I mean, her dog had already won them over! Plus she was pretty nice!

Olive and Stone: neutral. I mean, he's okay I guess.

AND NOW, TIME FOR THE OTHERS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY ME!:

Olive and Ditch: hate. Hate. Hate. Pure annoyance. If given the chance, Olive would stab him in the neck and stomp on his body. They'd throw his body into the ocean. Plus, Olive would tie giant rocks to his body so he'd sink to the very bottom. Where no one could find him. But he's too important to the story so that'll never happen! Perhaps in another universe...

Olive and Chris: neutral. Not practically close, but Olive does like to call him out for anything he's done wrong. They find it funny how ironically clumsy he is.

Olive and Maple: neutral. That's all I have to actually say but, I don't reallly think they'd have have a straight bond. It would probably be from their friend group, if you know what I mean.

Olive and Pebble: I guess sorta like? I mean, he must be cool if they're dating Bailey. Right? Though I think they've only met like, once..-

AND BONUS: OLIVES RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS!! And Adi!

Olive and Calvin (their father): hate. I thought that was obvious..? But yeah. He's a pretty shitty dad who was verbally abusive and physically abusive. What was worse was it was only olive that WAS being abused, so it was favouritism for sure.

Olive and Charolette (their mother): Strong disliking. Not much as a hate, though. Their mother was fairly nice to them when they were younger. And the only golden child to appreciate. But once Their sister was born, Olives perfect little world had fallen apart.

Olive and Adi: let's get something straight. Olive hates a bunch of people. Like, a lot. But Adi takes the number one spot on the leaderboard. Olive absolutely DESPISES HER. I mean, she RUINED their life! If you were to ask olive how they ended up on the streets, they'd probably say their father. And little sister. If they could torture anyone until the end of time, Olive would 100% pick Adi. I mean, that's the whole reason they had murder their mother. To strike fear into the child, and to get the message clear for her small little mind.

And yeah! I think that's everyone? Question mark? Well, that's everyone olive met! I think? I'll probably put this is the masterpost, and it'll probably change over time as well!

For -2+2, how does the death order in the SDRA2 game change?

For both Sdra2 and Dra the death order doesn't actually change all that much. -2+2 really isn't one of those story overhaul kind of Aus where all cases change, more like one small change creates more differences later down the line.

The small change in question being Ayame bringing help to Kizuna in Ch2 instead of killing her, which other than adding them do the survivour count goes on to affect the Sdra2 Kg later, as it is a reenactment of the Dra Kg.

The gist of how that one goes is;

Chapter 1: Fully unchanged.

Chapter 2: Emma attacks Kokoro at the twins concert and the whole freezer and pretending to be a sick Kokoro thing still happens, tho only for about a day because Mikado comes in and reveals the trick out of not wanting his reenactment ruined so early on. Emma is exposed as a void, both her and Kokoro survive the game tho.

Chapter 3: The murder case is unchanged, however only Kanade gets executed because Mikado makes up a rule post-trial that killing intent is needed for someone to classify as a blackend. He really didn't take Kanade interfeering in his reenactment well.

Chapter 4: The murder case with Shinji, Nikei, Yuki and Sora still happens as it did in canon, tho parallel to it Iroha tries to knock Emma off the tower as revenge for her "stealing" her spot as the void who should live because of Ch2 shenaningans. Emma dodges and Iroha falls to her death, her body is found by Kokoro and Hibiki.

Chapter 5: Unchanged mostly, main difference trial-wise is that Syobai was there because Kokoro stole his exit code and left (explained in more detail here). They still lose and face the mass execution though.

Chapter 6: Largely unchanged? The main beats are the same but because of how Teruya and Rei's backup/security codes work in this Au (explained in more detail here) both of them are stuck in a coma so Rei is not present in Ch6 and instead Tsurugi enters the simulation alongside Kizuna and Ayame, and it's from that change that most differences happen but i can't go into detail here because it's something i actually want to maybe write down properly later down the line.

Because really, the reason i'm fine rambling about the Sdra2 portion of this Au is because i have no intent in writing it in proper fic format. -2+2 is a Dra centric Au, hence why that's the part with 22 chapters out currently and what should be the focus here, as fun as it is to think about how the second game plays out.

King's Concubine (18+) - Chapter 4 (1)

(Mini Series)

Themes (and warnings):

Sukuna × F! Reader

OC: Akira = Reader

[In where Ryomen Akira -one of the concubines of Ryomen Sukuna's harem- has remained invisible at the King's eyes, until the death of his favorite concubine...]

Main Masterlist | Series Masterlist | Chapter 3

Chapter 4 - Intertwined

Yuna became stiff while her eyes intently stared at the woman who seemed to be washing the curtains.

Isn't she a concubine? Isn't she supposed to be dead? Yuna thought as she continued to suspiciously eye the former concubine. It also dawned to Yuna that the former concubine has indeed dowgraded as a servant. Yuna figured that she was the concubine who ran away when Usagi's death was announced.

What was her name-

"Sora! Careful with that one!" The head maid suddenly exclaimed as she reprimanded Sora— the former concubine—from harshly squeezing the gigantic yet delicate curtain.

"Oh." Yuna exclaimed in realization as she heard Sora's name.

Another gasp escaped from Yuna's lips as she finally noticed the lifeless expression on Sora, it's like she was forced to rise from the dead— as per Yuna. On what used to be a flawless face, Sora's face was suddenly adorned with dark and heavy bags evident from the lack of rest and chapped lips that used to be glossed and hydrated.

Yuna couldn't wait to bring the news to Akira but as the day went on, she couldn't find the time since she was loaded with chores. During the emergency meeting for the palace personnel, a lot of staff were culled which resulted to a lack of manpower. According to Uraume, the culling was necessary as it was believed that traitors infiltrated the palace. Some were totally removed from the palace and some were demoted to more exhausting jobs. Yuna was sure that the culled staff were not only removed from the palace but from the face of earth.

Dinner among concubines went on as usual except for the fact that Akira has finally engaged in conversations. Ever since Akira's newfound resolve, the aura during dinner changed as well, somehow dinner became lighthearted; it might be due to the fact that the king has not joined them for dinner for more than a month now.

Yuna grinned at the joyful sight of Akira, it seemed to her that her lady has finally gave the kingdom a shot. Yuna grinned more when she realized that Akira's happily munching on the lechon de leche, afterall, it was Yuna who requested for such meal for Akira. Despite being exhausted for the overload of her workload, Yuna still find it energizing when Akira's spirits are high.

What a relief, Yuna thought as she noticed Akira, Rhee, and Aiko fully immersed in their conversation. Yuna's reliev

ed expression was suddenly replaced in a shocked one as she saw the former concubine serving the table with desert. No one was yet to realize the situation but when one of the concubines attempted to thank Sora, the dinner table suddenly became silent.

"S-sora?" One of the concubines, Yuki, asked in disbelief. The conversatiom between Akira, Rhee, and Aiko also came to a halt as they've realized the sudden silence. Akira's throat suddenly felt dry at the sight before her, she was confused, she didn't know that she would be relieved to see the woman alive or rather worried because she knew that Sora used to be naive with an optimistic personality but with the Sora before them, it was anything but that.

"Surprise!" She lifelessly exclaimed.

"Hey, join us." Yuki suggested as she shifted on her seat, her whole body gesturing at the vacant seats.

"Lady Yuki—" Sora was immediately interrupted when the head maid suddenly entered the hall; the concubines remained quiet at the head maid's presence, it was obvious to everybody that next to Sukuna, they are highly terrified of the head maid.

"What insolence!" The head maid exclaimed at the interaction. Sora immediately bowed at the concubines and left without a word while the head maid's intimidating vision remained at the concubines.

"I see you enjoyed today's dinner. The King ensured that the best services should be provided for his wives." The head maid stated.

"Lady Rhee, you raised your piglet very well. The chef has only hoped that tonight's menu is of the concubines' favor." The head maid added before she bowed towards the concubines and left. Akira stared at the area her plate was supposedly placed instead of her dessert.

"What?" Akira gasped in disbelief as she felt bile rise to her throat. Everybody else went on their conversations and dessert except for the trio.

"What was that supposed to mean?" Akira said as she glanced at Rhee who was as confused as Akira. Aiko knew where this is going. The situation was pretty much clear for Aiko and indeed she could confirm that piggy, tasted good although more than half of her was in guilt and a little bit gloomy at the situation.

Akira harshly stood from the table and ran towards her quarters which made the rest of the concubines surprised. The jog towards her quarters took her a while but as soon as she arrives at her bathroom, she didn't hesitate to puke her stomach out.

"Lady Akira!" Yuna exclaimed in worry as she hurriedly assisted Akira's crouching form through holding her hair from her face.

"What was that?!" Akira hissed as tears run through her face. Her eyes clenched in sorrow and disgust as she eyed her vomit.

"Akira?" A worried voice spoke from the distance. Rhee hurriedly entered the bathroom with Aiko tailing behind.

"Rhee!" Akira exclaimed, tears still streaming down her face.

"I thought piggy was domesticated!!!" Akira hissed as she aggressively wiped her mouth with her sleeves.

"Well... I loved piggy I swear! But I..." Rhee mumbled in sorrow and guilt.

"She practically stole piggy from the food farm." Aiko stated, glaring at Rhee.

"What?!" Akira hissed, now glaring at the concubines.

"Hey! It was Rhee!" Aiko defensively said.

"I grew attached to piggy too! At first... I just thought I could cheer you up with piggy but I didn't think you would really enjoy her presence..." Rhee mumbled.

"Piggy was not your pet?!" Akira exclaimed in disbelief, she truly felt played at the moment.

"No..." but when Rhee noticed Akira's expression she knew she had to take it back.

"—because piggy is like family!" Rhee immediately added which made Aiko scoff bullshit.

Rhee always knew she was in trouble when Akira often finds her days spending with piggy. Rhee thought piggy was just there for temporary fix but to her misfortune...

"But how?! Why did you not— how could you allow her to end up like this?" Akira interrogated.

"I didn't know! I swear, I never thought that they would grill her this soon!" Rhee honestly said.

"Oh god..." Akira groaned with her hands covering her face.

"On the bright side... piggy won't have to live in constant anxiety... like she won't have to be on egde anymore just to anticipate when her time is up because you know..." Aiko mumbled, attempting to soothe and comfort Akira which only resulted a sharp glare from Akira instead.

"A-and, on the bright side, she really tasted good! I am sure piggy is honored that you get to be the person whom she was served!" Aiko added as another attempt on saving her face.

"Are you kidding me??" Rhee groaned in disbelief.

"I can't believe you Aiko. Atleast pretend you give a damn about the poor pig." Rhee added, still in disbelief.

Akira's frown deepened at Aiko's words which made Aiko gulped in nervousness.

"H-hey—"

"Aiko just shut up." Akira sternly said as she interrupted Aiko from saying anything further.

"Damn..." Aiko mumbled in defeat.

Akira couldn't sleep well that night, she found herself twisting and turning on her bed. Her lack of sleep was evident as her eyes were swollen during the ceremony on the following day. All the concubines found themselves glancing at Akira from time to time. They had heard the news on why she ran off during the night-before's dessert time and most of them refused to believe that it was about a pig... or as they would call it, pork. Some were even laughing, thinking that they were just messing around but seeing the concubine before them with swollen eyes, they slowly believed on the ridiculous news.

"No way..." Ivy mumble as she stood beside Yuki while doing her best to not make her staring seem obvious but unbeknownst to her, it was truly obvious and the rest of the concubines could only scoff at the behavior.

"What?" Akira deadpanned as she felt Ivy staring intently at the side of her face from her right.

"Are you okay?" Ivy hesitated to ask but did anyway. Akira only sighed at the question as her eyes remained at the vacant throne before them.

"C-condolence." Ivy mumbled which made Akira roll her eyes in an attempt to stop her tears from flowing. Ivy gulped in guilt and nervousness for having to be the person who reminded Akira about a certain pig's death. The concubines gasped in chorus, it was during that moment that the news was affirmative. Akira was indeed mourning for the loss of her pet. Akira rolled her eyes in annoyance as she heard the audible chorus of gasps among the concubines.

"Why are we here anyway?" Aiko boldly asked to stir away the attention from Akira and Akira was thankful for that.

"I don't know but my lady-in-waiting said that the King has something to announce." Rhee replied, this time diverting her vision from Akira to the vacant throne before them.

"Bow at the presence of the shining sun of the empire, his majesty, the emperor, Sukuna." Uraume suddenly announced and in unison, everybody bowed their heads.

"Emperor?" Akira muttered in confusion, her brows became furrowed while she remained in a curtsy like everybody else. When Akira pointed that out in a mumble, the concubines situated close to her realized the change of title.

"Rise." The king said.

As he began talking, it was clear that all eyes were on him because if otherwise it is treason. It is spoken with pride as he announced that he has successfully dominated every neigboring land and the kingdom will slowly transition in to an empire. Everybody was in awe as the charismatic now-emperor continued to speak. Some of the vassals of the king of curses will be hailed as dukes to various dominated territories.

It is clear that he is the emperor of the rising empire but nevertheless, his title as the King of Curses remains. It was never mentioned by him but everybody knew the difference between two titles.

From time to time, Akira could feel his eyes lingering over her a little longer than it should and everybody knew that as well. She was embarrassed and she thought that everybody felt the same with her but unbeknownst to her, everybody is worried and it is due to her swollen eyes, they were sure that the king— the emperor won't sit idly with the idea of her darling in discomfort. Everybody gulped from time to time as his vision would linger a little longer on Akira, as if he has noticed something.

"My lady!" Yuna exclaimed as all of the concubines and audience went on their separate ways. Akira rubbed her forehead in distress. Recently, she has been feeling that the days have been passing her by quickly than she could comprehend.

"I have a surprise!" Yuna exclaimed, hoping that her so called surprise could somehow lift Akira's spirits even a bit.

"I -I appreciate it..." Akira mumbled. It is obvious that she is still feeling disheartened with the recent incident.

"Darling." A voice interrupted making Akira and Yuna go stiff, most especially Yuna since this is the first time that the King of Curses has talked to her lady in public.

"Your majesty, the emperor." Yuna said as she bowed while Akira soonafter followed.

"Surprise..." Yuna mumbled nervously although she meant for the desert that she made, she also feel like the king of curses' presence would cheer her lady up. As they have risen up from bowing, the intent stare of the king to Akira made Yuna feel that her presence is no longer welcomed and with that she announced her departure and left; rubbing her temples as well as she hoped that her lady's mood would be uplifted by the king's presence.

"Sukuna-sama." She said, with a hint of gloom in her tone.

"What's going on?" He firmly said almost as if irritated.

"Nothing..." Akira mumbled, not in the mood to interact; and most certainly almost forgetting that it is indeed the king of curses before her.

"Answer when being asked." He demanded which made Akira sigh.

"I- piglet." Akira said, taking a deep breath once more.

"P-piglet is dead and I ate her." She mumbled in distress, the tightening in her chest reoccuring.

"The what?" The king asked as if he misheard with a a huge grin on his lips as he stops a chuckle from escaping.

"It's— it's nothing." She mumbled; feeling disheartened because she knew it would seem funny to people— or even to curses.

"I wouldn't dare to burden the emperor with such idle worries." Akira firmly added which made the king frown instead.

"Your eyes are swollen." He said as he reaches out to caress the bags beneath her eyes; while fighting the revolting feeling and the urge to crush her skull. It just so happens that whatever Akira's been feeling would make him oblige to empathize due to the unfortunate spell casted on him; he would feel atttaction and a strong sense to provide security towards Akira that whenever he plans to do the opposite, it would provide an immense pain on him.

"You ate... pork?" He carefully asked; in compliance with the spell and fortunately, whenever he complies to such affection, his chest would feel light as if he is rewarded.

"What?" Akira almost gasped in disbelief at the insensitivity of the king; but what is she really expecting? It's the king if curses after all, he is not supposed to give a fuck about some random human and a random pork at that. He sighed, genuinely not understanding on what he is supposed to do. If it weren't for the constant searing pain on his chest, he wouldn't be even doing this. He swears to himself once more that he would kill the culprit and probably Akira- rightafter he deals with the culprit.

Not knowing what to do, he proceeded on crashing his lips on hers. The keen observing servants who are eavesdropping bulged their eyes at the sudden affection. They were in awe to have witnessed a different side of the king... a soft and gentle side.

"I'll give you all of the piglets this world has to offer. Do you want it right now?" He whispered against her lips; his other hand now resting on her waist as his thumb rubbed her there in circles while his other hand remained on her cheek.

"I can and will, give you everything, just say it." He added.

"Thank you Sukuna-sama, you don't have to." Akira said with a faint smile on her lips. She couldn't deny that she found what he said hilarious and if it was announced in another situation she would have laughed boisterously.

"Your words of concern is more than enough." She assured. Somehow, such words ignited intrigue within the king, he has never met someone who has deliberately rejected his offer. He is hailed as the most powerful being and is currently known to be the richest man in the land. How could she not take advantage of such offer? Not even for diamonds and exquisite linen? Or hectares of land? Why wouldn't she ask for it?

Unbeknownst to the king, Akira has been fighting the strong urge to ask to be held that's why she decided to fiddle with her fingers instead until he held her fiddling hands and redirected her attention back to him. The king then pulled a single hand from her to intertwine with his which made him shut his eyes in distaste. It puzzles him how a stupid spell that seemed to almost defy the laws of jujutsu— be this idiotic and effective in irking him; most especially when he reminisced his earlier days and remembers zero to none in being this affectionate. This is indeed an insult to his highness.

"Join me for dinner, my darling." He spoke as he moves toward the hallway to where his chambers are located.

"It would be my honor, Sukuna-sama." She said as she laces her fingers firmly to his as well. Akira then decided to make the bold decision to kiss his knuckles and contrary to what the king is supposed to feel, his heart fluttered at the gesture; once again, another consequence of the spell.

Dinner felt awkward, atleast for Akira. The king couldn't help but feel irked when he notice Akira fidling with her food for a while. Lately, he has been on edge as it was only recently affirmative that he was indeed trapped in a spell that defies the laws of jujutsu. What aggravates him more is that despite the culling of servants, he still couldn't pinpoint the culprit which meant that the culprit has remained hidden in the castle walls. He was sure that this ploy couldn't be orchestrated by his dearest darling because it wouldn't make sense— for him how someone like Akira would go unnoticeable for a year and would suddenly be the star of the night— or does it?

He rubbed his temples simultaneously releasing a distressed sigh. Whoever made the spell must have been truly prepared for the consequences of his wrath. He was starting to suspect that one of his concubines must have been the audacious culprit; but nevertheless, no solid evidences would lead him to that conclusion unless he would indulge himself with hearsay and rampage at the concubines's quarters.

He hummed while deep in his thoughts as he realized that all of his concubines are quite replaceable— except for his darling of course. Should I just aim for the kill? he thought.

i've been gone for more than a year :<< i'm so so sorryy but this chapter has been sitting in my drafts for ages amdiaks this is part 1 of chapter 4 hihi

Adding to the pile of these polls!

Sorry for some of the abbreviations. Poll options have a text limit. However, this felt like a fun thing to do again, so here are your new options. Only one of them is false, the rest are true.

Good luck.

Hii!!

Ive recently come across your art and I really enjoy it!!

I was going to ask if you could draw the Kisaragi foundation leaders (Rei, Teruya, and Tsurugi) hanging out? Maybe grabbing food or smth?

If not if you don't mind maybe Yuki/Sora (Yuki in soras body) just being awesome?

Again feel free to decline both!! But your art is super pretty!!

HELLO THANK U SM FOR THE ASK!!!!!!! sadly i am Horrible at drawing multiple people so I will give U A yuki/sora . enjoy…!!❤️

[dragon-in-the-watery-bowl]

Some YukiSora (The ship) with my designs of 10 Years Later Yuki!Sora and Android Body Sora.

[caeified]

I wanna know how you'd see Yuki in like,, the future future of the true ending. I just call them “Yui”, in my AU(I have this AU planned out, but I gotta just- think how it should work and all,, since it's kinda of a crossover?? OMORI/SDRA2, type of thing souhyea)

uhh very quick design. i am of the opinion that

1) utsuro and sora are not in that body & yuki is mainly the same person but reacts to situations more like utsuro (like he does in ch4 + 5 sometimes)

2) divine luck does change appearance BUT it doesn’t fully return him to his prev appearance due to inner conflict of

a) i want to return to the life i had as Yuki Maeda

b) i am a fundamentally different person living in a fundamentally different world where that is not possible

c) i am absolutely terrified of using divine luck as a crutch and becoming utsuro as utsuro was a completely ordinary person who was hollowed out by divine luck and therefore that could happen to anyone (me)

starting to hate this design actually he should wear a cloak forever methinks

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

Finally, we have reached a turning point. Not only is A-4 the best Another 1 case but it’s the best Another case period, meaning this is the end of the fangans and wow, the Another games really rank lower than the official games now don't they? SDRA2 doesn't surprise me because it’s riddled with problems but Danganronpa Another is more well received plot wise...then again, its LINUJ's first title.

So first off, a bit of trivia, originally Haruhiko and Satsuki's roles were meant to be swapped so she would be the victim and he would be the killer. But why didn't it happen? Well as it turns out animating Sally Forth! DEATHCRAFT was waaayyyy too hard for LINUJ to do so he decided that since the motives for Satsuki and Haruhiko were more or less the same, plus Satsuki's execution would be a lot easier to animate, they got swapped around. Personally, I don't think it would change the case all that much since while Haruhiko might have put up more of a fight then Satsuki, who just wanted to get it over with but of course Rei and Tsurugi were neck deep in denial, it would have still led to the fact Haruhiko and Satsuki did their stunt out of love and shattered the antagonists for good.

The Ballroom is another case of locking characters into a area and they have to kill someone to escape or else they would die, but in terms of severity this is the midpoint as while the time limit isn’t as snappy as the Funhouse’s where starvation is the alternative, its not like the Tower of Babel which is basically a new area to stay in and the only downside is the degrading sanity of the group due to Nikei’s mind fuckery. However I think the Ballroom is my personal favourite of these because firstly everyone gets to dress up in formal gear which means LINUJ was ahead of his time as that’s what happened in the 10th Anniversary of Danganronpa, but also while we get to see the sprites of everyone that is alive, LINUJ did formal dresses for everyone so by the powers of the talented sprite artists in the community we have formal wear for all of Class 79. The diminished food is also a good point of tension because the fact you have access to some food abet limited rather than none and Monokuma making you waste more energy, means there’s more chance of arguments to break out.

As mentioned, Chapter 4s are either in a low point of the group or a high note, and this is a low point as Yuki is really starting to break down and he and Akane’s relationship is the most strained at this point as she actually yells at Yuki to get his act together, which is eerily similar to the fallout Yuki and Sora have in their Chapter 4. Haruhiko and Tsurugi also get into massive arguments especially once the former’s gluttony is exposed as while Tsurugi blames Haruhiko for putting their lives at risk, Haruhiko actually fights back and tells Tsurugi off as his doom and bloom attitude isn’t helping anyone and its making things worse, especially when he offers everyone to kill themselves because he would rather do that than risk someone killing another person. Now what’s interesting is due to the fact Junko watched the Proto Killing Game before her’s, she probably noted on how impactful this was to the survivors and how it could unite the class against the Mastermind, which is probably why she didn’t use this motive in her first Killing Game. However, seeing how effective it is at thinning numbers is probably why her AI counterpart took note and repeated this motive for 2-4, because remember its not just Junko who takes lessons from the Proto Killing Game, its also her AI creation as well. It would also explain why the Funhouse had no food rather then limited food as aside from the fact AI Junko just wanted bodies to drop, she saw how limiting food caused tensions but eventually unity, which especially seeing how AI Junko was running on a time-limit, was a luxury she couldn’t afford to have.

I see why you consider the way Teruya acted in SDRA2 to not be out of character since the way he behaved in A-4 was a example of him at a low point due to his hypocrisy coming out into full focus being both a shit stirrer and also being a massive coward at the same time, but the events of this chapter having such a dramatic impact that they are the reason SDRA2 Teruya’s design has elements of both Haruhiko and Satsuki and why he broke down crying in front of their statues in A2-4, but I don’t believe this to be the case. Yes, Teruya was a massive case of contention within A-4 but the real culprit behind the broken tensions was Tsurugi and his inability to get outside of his echo chamber. There was nobody like that in SDRA2 so I still felt the way he acted in A2-4 was a case of LINUJ wanting Teruya to act like Tsurugi for no good reason what so ever, because with his memories back, he wasn’t acting like he was in A-4.  But this is proof why joke characters can be more then joke characters as while Teruya is a idiot who probably only lived due to the fact you need someone to do easy rebuttals against, this was a massive point for his character to improve and develop which is more then what I can say for Yasuhiro and Kazuichi who kinda remain static throughout the game with little to no improvement.

So let’s talk about the victim Haruhiko, and I can see why you compare him to Miu but the only difference is that Haruhiko doesn’t have a stick far up his arse that Miu has and also doesn’t make nearly as many dirty comments as she does, and while this won’t be the first time the victim consulted with the victin to die as both 2-4 and 3-5 also did this, I consider this to be the best version of it. While Nekomaru’s and Gundham’s actions were noble, there has been a LOT of arguments if Gundham meant to sacifice himself or if he wanted to get away with the crime, and it can be such a pain to argue back against these people that basic survival instinct is very hard to overcome since spoiler alert; most people want to live. And not only was Kokichi’s and Kaito’s actions probably not as good as it can be, but as I mentioned when we covered 3-5, I got more of the sense that Kaito was being blackmailed by Kokichi to do it or else Maki would become the blackened which Kaito did not want above all else. Heck another similarity between Kaito and Haruhiko is both did their actions out of one of the purest and most destructive forces there is; love. He found a picture of him and Satsuki together and with the knowledge that memories were removed, he put two and two together and realised that he and Satsuki were formerly lovers. And you can see why both of these two would click as they are both goofballs who like to lighten the mood of everyone in their class and while sometimes their jokes can get quite grating, you cannot deny they are trying to improve the mood. Hence why he called Satsuki over and cue a debate that wouldn’t get repeated again until Black Widow and Hawkeye had to do it in Avenger Endgame; who was gonna to get killed.

Ultimately, we know Haruhiko would die because he rigged his gun to explode but realistically he died because LINUJ found animating his execution to be too hard, and of course because things couldn’t get even more tragic, he had to confess his love to Satsuki as he laid dying and the knowledge he did all of this for her. A very tragic and heartbreaking way but made even better by the fact that though Satsuki knows all she has to do is stay silent and she would win, she doesn’t have the heart to do that, and thus does the one thing that a lot of people have screamed for the culprit to do since Danganronpa began; immediately confess to being the killer. This is something that has soured a LOT of people over the more sympathetic killers like Kaede, Gundham, Ayame and Mondo since their main argument is why don’t they do what Satsuki did. Well this trial answers why aside from the reason that you wouldn’t have a Class Trial, because due to how innocent and sweet natured Satsuki is, none of the remaining characters can accept that she was the culprit behind the crime, despite her listing in painstaking detail that she did it. Teruya’s own scheme complicated matters since he believed he was the culprit, and Rei and Tsurugi were completely unable to accept it so the trial progresses and once Teruya’s gambit and how it backfired was explained and then the culprit finger goes back to Satsuki once again, she is happy that they have figured it out but the main reason why the trial goes on for so long is because none of the others can accept that she is the killer. Its kinda similar to 2-5 where Chiaki after realising that the traitor is the one who killed Nagito, outs herself as the traitor but none of the others accept it so that’s where most of the fighting and arguments take place.

I have heard some interesting ways this serves as a foil to A2-4 as the overall masterminds of both games did their schemes for completely opposite reasons; Haruhiko loved his classmates but he also cared deeply for Satsuki and wanted her to be safe so he arranged things so that she could escape, but ultimately despite being given every chance to get away with it, her consciousness didn’t allow it to occur and so she ultimately decided to try and direct the others into figuring out she was the killer so while not completely disrespecting Haru, she is also keeping her friends safe. Haru was motivated by Love. Meanwhile Nikei did his scheme because he wanted to punch Mikado where it really hurt by having Yuki get executed as the culprit so that Mikado’s scheme falls apart and he screams in despair, his actions served to severe the last strains of connections the cast have and when the finger was pointed at him, he was in complete and utter denial even when more and more proof of his guilt comes up. Nikei was motivated by Hate. In addition, one of Poi’s suggestions to make A2-4 not suck, is that aside from making Nikei the outright culprit, it gets discovered fairly early on that Nikei did it, but he fights back so hard and viciously that the entire Class Trial is shooting down every excuse and trick he comes up with until he has none left. A-4’s trial length is because nobody wanted to admit the culprit was Satsuki and Poi’s suggestion for A2-4 was that the trial length is that Nikei didn’t want to admit he was the culprit. It would have been an interesting way to contrast the two chapters.

And we cannot talk about how this trial completely broke both Rei and Tsurugi by knocking them off their high horses by presenting them with a case where the victim and culprit not only worked together, but the culprit was outright admitting the crime. For Rei, who has always prided herself in knowing things that nobody else does and speaking up when everyone is desperate, she is for once stumped and cannot comprehend that such a crime from such passion and deep sincerity has occurred. And Tsurugi takes this even less as he outright collapses and becomes more or less unavailable during Chapter 5 as a result of this. This is the major turning point of both characters as Rei goes through serious character development at this point since she now realises that she isn’t always right and that working with others more is key, as in Chapter 5 she takes more of a central role and while not suddenly buddy-buddy with everyone, she has become a lot more reasonable and more cooperative with others. And since Teruya is also finally growing up and becoming more of a responsible person is another sign this trial has a major impact on him. Both Rei and Teruya experience positive character growth. Tsurugi on the other hand ends up regressing as the lesson he takes away from Haru’s and Satsuki’s actions is that all the deaths and killings are his own fault and he should end his life just like that. And the only thing stopping the shortest Class Trial in history is the fact that Divine Luck stepped in and kept him alive. Given how allergic LINUJ is to character development, its shocking we had two cases of major character development from this chapter, obviously Tsurugi regresses but Rei’s and Teruya’s character development ends up sticking.

It's little wonder this ended up being the highest ranked Another case because with how it not only presents something we have seen before in a new twist and gives us a emotional and heartbreaking trial which is completely anaemic to LINUJ and how his philosophy is, and one that has severe emotional consequences to everyone involved, it sets the stage nicely for the character development going forward. Well for two of them at least but even the way Tsurugi’s character development goes makes sense for his character, as painful it is to admit it.

The only real gripe I have with this chapter and it’s a very minor one is how lazy I feel Satsuki’s execution is. I know LINUJ swapped the victim and culprit around but why does Satsuki’s execution have to be so much like Makoto’s unused execution? Like given how creative LINUJ can get with his executions it shocks me that he just opted to go for an execution that was unused for a canon character. I know Yuki in SDRA2 gets more or less After School Detention but since Yuki is literally the Ultimate Lucky Student it makes sense for him to have that, not for someone like Satsuki. It is a very minor compliant I have since the executions really shouldn’t impact the chapter but I just have to say it. All I’m saying is I expected better from LINUJ.

There was a reason why I feared this would be scored low since I know people would react quite poorly but while some of the Another rankings are hot takes, this is not a hot take at all. And with A-4 being the very last of the Another cases, we have cleared all of the Fangan ones and now just have the canon cases left.

//It really does make me a little sad that the Another series doesn't manage to beat the main series in terms of its trials, but the main reasons why they don't is because Another 2 has quite a few problems with it, and Another 1, while good, borrows way too heavily from the games that preceded it. Had it not been for that, I might have put them up higher.

//But I never quite realized, until you pointed it out, that wow, this really is my favourite case from the Another titles. And for some reason, that makes this case all the more heavy for me.

//I do ultimately agree that Satsuki was way better for the role of a killer in this case. Especially given what Haruhiko goes through in this chapter, and his ultimate decision feels like it makes a lot more sense. The whole point of what makes Satsuki so amazing as a killer is the fact that she confesses to the crime immediately, but no one believes her because...

//Well, given that they share many characteristics, that would be like if Ibuki confessed to the murder. It is so ridiculously stupid in concept and hard to believe that.

//Haru is a lot more like Kazuichi, and weirdly, I do think in another time, he could have made a decent killer. It's kind of like what they did with Chapter 2 of Despair Time.

//And yeah, I have seen those outfits as I've been finding images for this series, and I do agree that all of them look super cool. I especially like Kiyoka's and Kanata's.

//Also, this is a good point. Limiting supplies instead of cutting them off entirely is more likely to raise tensions because of the way people can get greedy. I do like that idea.

//This is another statement of how nobody should ever comply themselves with Tsurugi's way of thinking because it just makes no fucking sense. Here's a bit of a fun fact for all of you: In most modern societies, suicide is no longer considered a crime. The focus has shifted from punishment to mental health support and prevention. HOWEVER, a few places maintain laws against attempted suicide. For example, in some parts of the Middle East and South Asia, attempted suicide can lead to legal consequences, reflecting traditional or religious influences.

//In Japan, suicide is not a crime, but legal consequences arise when others are involved in facilitating or encouraging it. The focus has shifted toward mental health support and societal intervention to prevent suicides. Legal consequences that, given Tsurugi's nature, would be important to him. So this action effectively already goes against everything he believes, and while we could attribute it later to him going a bit delusional in the ballroom due to starvation, he spends all of this game telling Akane to off herself, then kind of does the same shit in SDRA2.

//It's just...really fucking annoying how this guy can be so powerful while being this fucked up.

//The stuff about Teruya...I get what you're saying, but I do still stand by a lot of what I said. Even if it's not true, or realistic, it still betters that situation for me to think about, because it means that the Ballroom and what happened with Teruya actually MEANS something.

//Sure, Teruya doesn't have his memories for most of SDRA2, but other than Chapter 4, we don't really see how the events of the previous Killing Game affected him.

//Teruya's breakdown in A2-4 and his emotional response to Haruhiko and Satsuki’s statues are pivotal to his character development. His hypocrisy and cowardice in A-4 were essential moments of self-realization that shaped his later actions in SDRA2. Suggesting LINUJ made him "act like Tsurugi" misses some deeper narrative intent.

//While Tsurugi’s moral rigidity intensified the tensions of the whole series, Teruya’s role as both instigator and coward was a core part of the conflict. Even if it's not entirely true, his behavior in SDRA2 feels like it reflects an attempt to confront those failings, not simply mimic Tsurugi.

//I am seriously looking forward to when we cover 2-4, because I have some shit to say about that trial. People miss the point of Gundham's whole crime entirely, and that really pisses me off, especially since, to me, at least, it's so obvious why he does things the way he does. But that's for later.

//As for the other examples you gave me though, those are straight up said in the game. Ayame confessed, after Rei prompted her, that there was some survival instinct in there beyond wanting to save Akane, and on top of the same applying to Mondo, he also kept quiet because he wanted to protect Chihiro's secret. And the literal final AA of Trial 1 is Shuichi revealing that Kaede only let the Class Trial happen because she wanted to use it to sus out the Mastermind. Had Shuichi not fallen under suspicion, she might have succeeded.

//That stuff about A2-4 is just another example of how Poi is full of good ideas, and the contrast between the motivations being love and hate respectively for A-4 and A2-4 is pretty cool.

//The thing about Rei is that she's always been a lot more humble than people give her credit for, even before she goes through this development. She's incredibly prideful of herself, but she knows that she's not perfect. It's really due to the fact that she has never had any good examples of love and care growing up that are the reasons why this gets to her, and why she flips the bird at Monokuma after this trial is over, because it's not simply that she is shocked due to misunderstanding, but that she TRIES to understand, and begins to see things from a new perspective.

//Largely the reason why Rei is probably the best character in the original another besides maybe only Akane.

//And again, it was so fucking cathartic seeing Tsurugi get his ass handed to him in this case. Kinji kind of already called Tsurugi out on his hypocrisy, in how his philosophy made no sense, but Rei in this trial is like "Yeah, see, this is what he meant, you stupid bitch!"

//I think what surprises me with this case being my favourite from the Another games most is that compared to all the other Case 4's of this game, this one, by comparison, is VERY simple. Not just from the fact that Satsuki confesses to the crime at the start, but the fact that the confusion is kind of caused by everyone's personal natures and beliefs, and that's really a powerful statement against this cast. Haru, in a move that is expert for him, basically comes up with this plan that perfectly uses the logical nature of the characters against them.

//But I will actually defend Satsuki's execution, because I think it's one of the best in the Another series. In fact, on my previous ranking where I ranked the executions, this one was actually Number 11, just barely missing the Top 10.

//What makes it even worse is how similar it feels to Gundham’s situation. Satsuki, the blackened, committed her crime for a noble reason and accepts her grim fate with a smile. She hardly stops smiling even as she’s inside the barrel, which makes it all the more heartbreaking. And if the swords piercing her weren’t horrifying enough, when she finally "pops," she slams into the ceiling with a sickening splat.

//LINUJ really excels at crafting executions that are both visually violent and deeply tied to the story. And this one is our prime example.

//And yeah, that's it for the Another series. And I swear to god, every trial that comes after this one are just absolute MASTERCLASS mysteries, so I'm really looking forward to covering them.

HARUHIKO BEING THE “I love you song” FROM THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE IS SO REAL!!!!! Anyways, 💫 anon back with a silly idea

I was thinking about Kirby Star Allies and how they kiss to share health. Maybe the reader is trying to cheer up their crush while they’re sad and kisses them?

[For characters, feel free to choose any you want but if you need some characters, could you do Haruhiko, Yuki (sdra2) and Teryua (dra)? ]

Hello 💫 Anon! How are you doing? I’m so sorry I didn’t get to this quicker, I’ve been playing Stardew Vally for the past week, I’m trying to romance Abigail or Elliot. And it’s not going great.

So another apology since it’s 4am and i can’t read, i completely forgot about Teruya. But Yuki and Haruhiko’s were basically the chapter four angst pack.

Reminder my requests are CLOSED and I will be deleting any requests that have been sent in while they are closed. Thank you.

WARNING: SPOILERS; ANGST; HURT/COMFORT(?); UTSURO!YUKI (KINDA)

~ Mod Haruhiko ✈️

Haruhiko Kobashikawa

You were concerned, you were starving, you were in pain, you were suffering. You’d thought about killing— how easy it would be to grab a gun from the arsenal and shoot the short bastard. But Kinjo always being in the arsenal made you rethink. You didn’t want to provoke him.

You were dying, but so was everyone else. Mikako was still the same inside the ballroom. Akane was the same as well but you could see her sweet demeanor cracking by the day. And Haruhiko, he was trying to act as typically but he was guilty and clearly cracking as well.

While he would rant to you or to anyone who asked about the vintage guns and how they came into place in their respective histories to anyone who listened. Haruhiko had been one of the food thieves and he had even shared a few scraps with you. 

“S/O.” Haruhiko’s face was out of the ordinary. The emotion conveyed on it was one of lamentation. His voice was shaking, this wasn’t the confident act that Haru had been putting on for the past while— this was the scared teenage boy who blamed himself for killing Kyoka.

He was also gripping something in his pocket.

“I’m so sorry, S/O. This is all my fault, if I hadn’t been stealing the food, if I hadn’t ate so much food in the beginning, if I was as smart as Kinjo— or Mekaru.” Haruhiko went on. The frown on his face was imminent. You were in your private room.

Your words wouldn’t likely convince him. But you had an idea to cheer the pervert up even slightly— something was better than nothing. You cupped his cheek and placed a small peck on the corner of his lips. It was supposed to go on his lips but you were so shaky from hungry you hadn’t kissed him properly. You swore internally that you would someday.

“This may seem hard for you Haru, but you aren’t the problem, not in Maki-Higa’s case, not in the ballroom and especially not with your parents.“

“Y-you saw it too?” Haruhiko eye’s glittered. His lips parted and he had a blush on his face as if he was astounded by the mere kiss.

“Saw what?”

Yuki Maeda 

Pacing in the frigid cold, endlessly scanning over the books that was only stuffed with random nonsensical gibberish. That’s what Yuki had been doing a few days prior. Half of you vaguely wished you were still stuck in the conference room. Maybe then he wouldn’t have died and Yuki wouldn’t have been so… strange.

 Yuki had been shell shocked moments prior at the revelation of Shinji being dead. Shaking like he had done something wrong but now… he was having the complete opposite of an emotional break.

“Yuki…”

“…” No response.

“Yuki Maeda..?” You called out him to once again. 

This time Yuki had shifted his body to slightly face you, his dull brown were glaring at you and it was utter juxtaposition in the fact that his freckled cheeks were still had tear stains on them.

“Yuki, I can’t convince you that it’ll be okay. But I believe in us, alright? We have lost Shinji but we still have Sora, Nikei, Yoruko and you always have me. I’ll always be here for you. And I know I can’t make it better but I’m here for you.” You tried to comfort the best you could and leaned in and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

“…” Yuki didn’t say anything but he stared. Gears were churning behind his brown eyes. Ones that looked so full of sorrow and despair. Moments later Yuki shell shocked attitude had hit him once again in full force. Tears were coming from his eyes again.

You weren’t sure if it was the best thing to do but alas, you pulled Yuki closer to your figure. Tracing names of place and phases of the moon into his back. And he held you back so much tighter. Trying so hard to decipher whether or not you were really there.

“Please— don’t… please don’t die.” Yuki sobbed.
