If Junichiro doesnโt kill Atsushi, the Special Division will. Theyโll do it ruthlessly, mercilessly, with no knowledge, or regard, for the person that Atsushi is. Theyโll see a threat, and theyโll treat him like one. If Junichiro doesnโt kill Atsushi, his end will be cruel and drawn out at worst, or inconsequential at best. If Junichiro does kill Atsushiโฆ They do start laughing then. The giggles bloom before they can stop them, bursting forth entirely devoid of life or humour. Utterly hysterical, irrefutably out of control. If Junichiro kills Atsushi, theyโll have to watch the light leave his eyes. Theyโll have to see his face morph and curl up into a look of betrayal, or, even worse, smooth out to become resigned acceptance. If Junichiro kills Atsushi, they donโt know if theyโll survive it.
To the world, Nakajima Atsushi is a liability, a threat to all that cross his path. He can't control the tiger that dwells within him, therefore he can't be trusted.
To Junichiro, Atsushi is light and life itself.
