From @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”
– he at first pretends it doesn’t bother him at all.
– But Shio and Rikai notice immediately that something is wrong.
– Yusa tries to act tough and stab things with his quinque. But Yusa is not a stabby person, shall we say. So he eventually cries silently.
– But Shio and Rikai seem to know intuitively. They wrap their arms around him and let him cry.
– Shio assures Yusa that he is NOT inferior to Nakarai, while Rikai makes up jokes for “accidents” Nakarai could have.
– Hirako appears and is stunned to see Yusa crying. “What’s going on?”
– “We’re healing a broken heart. Look away; this doesn’t concern you.’ Rikai snaps her fingers.
– But eventually Hirako is allowed to be in on the secret, and comforts Yusa.
