Revolutionary Girl Utena AU

Skids finds the strength to confront his past through kindness, and in the end, becomes someone who wants to protect that kindness in return. Through his patience, empathy, and quiet understanding, Rung helps Skids learn how to understand and accept himself. That gentleness gives Skids the courage to finally face the parts of himself he once tried to run from.

And once he gains that courage, what he wants to protect is no longer some grand ideal — it’s Rung himself, and the quiet kind of kindness that keeps caring for everyone else while rarely being cared for in return.
