All aboard the shipping train!!!
“Hey there, big stuff.” Outside a dilapidated CCG, a clownish woman with a male physique flutters her fingers at him. She sits on the steps, surveying the chaos before them.
She’s one of the ones who showed up at the last second to save Kaneki Ken. One of the powerful ones.
Nico smirks at this bearded, dangerous Washuu. Who is almost too adorkable for words.
“H-hi.” Matsuri blushes and sits beside her. “You’re one of the clowns.”
“Guilty. I worked with your uncle to take over CCG. Kinda glad you survived, though.” Nico points towards the remains of Kaneki’s kakuja. “I had no idea dragon was this destructive.”
“Would that have stopped you?” Matsuri growls.
“No,” Nico admits. “I think tragedies are beautiful.”
“Life is a tragedy. The happy moments are what’s beautiful.” Matsuri shakes his head. Like whenever he and Yoshitoki connected for even a moment. That was beautiful.
“I think pain is beautiful.” Nico smiles.
“I think you deserve better,” Matsuri says, surprising even himself.
“Ha.” Nico smiles wryly. “Says the man who was too afraid of his family to live life on his own terms.”
“Guilty,” Matsuri echoes.
Nico giggles. “Oh really? Wanna be guilty of more?”
Matsuri raises an eyebrow. “Just what do you have in mind.”
Nico leaps to her feet and pulls him to standing. “Oh, you’ll see.”
