[➹] Hase wasn’t one that allowed himself to be made a fool of for long. Even if his tongue might not have been as sharp or clever as others, he could at least back up his words with some sort of force behind them. He could trust his fists, even if they were bloodied and bruised.

He could remember the lilt of the Kureshima’s eyes, the small smirk. At the time, he hadn’t thought anything of it--everyone here was exactly the same, weren’t they? Scrabbling for power.

He didn’t expect to lose, though. And now that wasn’t something that he could deal with, not when there were so many people that knew of his humiliating defeat. He wasn’t even sure if it appeared difficult at all. In his mind, there was only one way to right this wrong.

Some people might have called Hase creepy, for having trailed the younger one this far, but he called it appropriate action, and as soon as he deemed it safe enough he strode forward, fury written on his face.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch:a mental health/neurodivergent headcanon.

Haruto’s… hard to classify in regards to mental health. The most one can say for him, quite truthfully, is a severe case of PTSD topped by immense survivor’s guilt. In-series, he’s shown to suffer some degree of flashbacks to traumatic events in his life, particularly his parents’ deaths. In fact, they serve as a huge source of motivation for the work he does as a wizard. The same can be said for his survivor’s guilt, as the sense of loss he’s felt and the lack of understanding as to why he lives and everyone else around him tends to suffer pushes him to try to “make up for” that which he feels he owes the deceased. It’s a rather common thing with people who have survivor’s guilt, if my memory serves?
