Father And Son 💞💕

not stopping anytime soon

There are plenty of small changes in Akane's behavior once the severance is over.

The one that caught my attention the most is this brand new habit of protecting himself.

Akane loves to be alive, but he has no fear of death or pain.

Teru bullies him every day and he keeps his guard down in the student council. Aoi stabbed him, the injury so severe that chapters later, it hurts Akane to even move, yet he kept himself wide open in battle.

This habit really is very new.

So what changed? What made him constantly be on the defensive?

It wasn't self-preservation. It's his duty.

He is needed alive.

The keeper of the present can't die.

Akane still isn't careful with himself. He isn't protecting himself, he is protecting the idea of a better present.

I love this slice of life arc

someone had to do it

rkgk! idk guys i think chongyun might be struggling

they are both on opposite ends of the height scale going from shorty to freakishly large

it’s my comfort character and i get to decide to disability projection (i think his second death injured his wings and back and left him with lasting balance and mobility issues. so i gave him crutches and now he’s just like me fr)
