Don't Lose Your Fight Kid

Nooooooo

Suo praising nirei behind his back and being proud of his growth in front of others, seeing him for his true strength that does not lie in the physical but the inner core, the strength that wbk series portrays and values and then the huge "see? I knew it. You've grown a lot stronger now. nire kun" moment that needs to be recorded in the angst hurt no comfort history books in gold.

Switching to nirei defending suo by himself in front of all of 1-1+ kaji kusumi enomoto ume hiiragi and exclaiming over anzai and the others misunderstanding suo while proving to us readers how deeply he'd alone read suo and seen+noticed so much of him that no other person had. He'd read him perfectly. almost too perfectly.

Nirei feeling broken over being unable to stop suo from leaving, being unable to help him, being unable to be someone suo could rely on, could turn to for help, to TALK. suo refusing to have a conversation was actually the thing that HURT nirei. The physical hits didn't. It was these realisations of not being enough (when it's not his fault at all cuz no matter what and even if he wouldve been physically on par, the fact is that suo would've left already cuz the guy's a one big idiot who would do anything but talk cuz self sacrificing and intentionally getting himself hated and pushing friends away is the way to go)

But despite all that, vowing to get suo to talk to them, lifting sakura up to look for him without giving up. "We still can't give up". Because nirei akihiko would never. would never give up on people he cares about and especially suo who is undeniably someone important to him.

Nirei: "please train me suo san!"

Suo: *bullet speed calculation running in the background taking in the amount of training nirei needs and the time sufficient and by when he can get back to bankokugai and continue his duties there etc etc* "oh fuc- I mean yes of course nire kun (◠⁠‿⚫)"

Suo: Please let me leave.
