Based on @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”
– The friendship begins as all true friendships do, with lots of taunts from Ryo and threats from Ui
– Ryo has definitely painted a bowl to look like Ui’s upside-down head.
– Ui then threw human food in it. Just to annoy Ryo over what he cannot eat.
– To which Ryo responds with a remark about eating Ui’s sister…
– Ui.exe ceases to function for a while
– They find common ground over Ui’s attempts to quit smoking, of all things. Ryo is nonjudgemental and encouraging, and he doesn’t mind being around the smell of smoke whenever Ui relapses.
– Ui asks Ryo to dispose of his cigarettes, and he gladly does.
– When Ui finds out Ryo’s life story, he gives him an understanding pat on the shoulder that shows acceptance and empathy. It means so much to Ryo, he considers mentioning his plans to marry Koharu.
