I just felt like sharing because I find such less hilo content and got excited when I read your stuff haha

ahhh i really do too they are such lovely friends in my opinion. i think they work as well as they do together because they share a lot of the same values and ways of going about things even if sachio is comparatively quieter and less driven to make friends the way fujio is lmfao.

like, sachio and fujio share the same need to protect the people around them to an insane degree [fujio basically going to war for tsukasa, sachio punching his way through an underground drug ring for his sister.] and they also share the same unwavering set of morals for the most part, which i appreciate.

cherry on top was them being there to help each other time and time again. very lovely. also sachio showing up in the worst x was very fun to see after watching the worst and getting more context behind the sudden cameo.

that and i think there is inherent humour behind fujio neverendingly poking at sachio while he [preteneds to be] is exasperated in the aftermath.

tldr sachio fujio wonderful dynamic.

hmm to be honest i'm fairly sure that was just something they had him wear for the sake of style (as most people in that franchise have very specific style regardless of financials (thinking about fujio's friends from high & low the worst who walked around with large fur coats + having motorcycles of their own despite constantly needing to work part time and handing all of their money over to arata later)) but i think that it could totally be used in the context of the narrative for this film

like, amagai grew up spoiling suzaki in a way (chasing off bullies, buying him sodas) which i can assume happened a lot if those cans of sodas became a vessel for their childhood memories and flashbacks. so i don't think it'd be too far-fetched to imagine that gift giving would be stretched to other things as well.

though i feel it wouldn't make sense if it was suzaki asking on his own... in my head i imagine it to be alike to amagai finding something and buying it on a fluke before giving it to suzaki, then later holding it over his head (think of the scene where he says people are only around him for his money, that he doesn't have friends after suzaki asks him if they are)

i get you entirely it is so hard to write them sometimes but it is also the most fun thing ever. going about reconciliation is something i haven't thought about, though, i'm not sure how i would go about it.

i feel amagai would have to commit to the whole idea of getting better and so would ryo but it would also need to be aided by a separation between the two of them so they can work on themselves without making each other worse as they do. i mentioned in an earlier post a while ago that i thought the relationship between them was destructive on both ends.

with amagai, i think it'd be something along the lines of learning to work for himself but also humanize himself and step down from the pedestal he's put himself on. with ryo, i'd imagine that his way of getting better would be moreso about standing on his own two feet away from him.

of course, they coulddd get better alongside one another but i feel it would be very easy for them to fall into those same unhealthy patterns that they're used to because let's be real how many times have you told someone who's been hurting you maliciously for a long time that they've been hurting you and had them immediately apologize, fix their behaviour, and never have a problem again?

Ryo's body hurts all over, and as much he wants to, needs to, get over to Amagai, he can't bring himself to move. He's hyper-aware of everything around him: the murmurs from the crowd, Fujio's ragged breathing, his own racing heart, and Amagai's continuous muttering. He can't make out what he's saying, but he doesn't have to strain to recognize the click of a knife being flipped open.

Then, there's footsteps. Urgent, quick, and heavy as Amagai rushes toward Fujio with nothing short of murderous intent.

With energy Ryo didn't know he had, he scrambles onto his feet and is then face to face with Amagai.

The entire gym is silent. Ryo can't hear anything beside his own breathing and his heart pounding in his chest. He's never been this close to Amagai, and all he can see is the deep pools of brown that seem so bright under his platinum hair. They’re the same eyes he used to stare into under the open blue skies so long ago. "Ko-chan..."

Everything shatters. The knife is gone, Amagai is backing away, and Ryo's world is blurring. His eyes never leave Amagai's, even as he gets farther and farther away, his face twisted in what Ryo can only guess is disgust at his current state, at Ryo's failure. He can't stop the hot tears from spilling over, can't stop them from running down his face and the darkness creeping along the edges of his vision as his knees give out.

Even immobile and nothing more than a heap of limbs, Ryo's eyes never leave Amagai's figure. There's something dangerously close to fear on his face as he searches for an escape. Ryo desperately wishes he had the strength to help.

There are steps behind him, and a shadow falls over him. He doesn't know who it is, and he doesn't look even when they press something into his wound; Amagai still has his attention, even if he's Amagai's last priority. "Ko-chan. Please."

He gets nothing as Amagai turns tail and flees, his figure disappearing as the double doors slam shut behind him. Ko-chan. Come back, please.

Amagai doesn't come back.

The pain radiating from his wound is nothing compared to the gaping hole Amagai has left in his chest.

:D

ohhh that would be so fun. i feel it'd also be the point of no return for amagai—happens before the heart wrenching speech that ryo gives that somewhat brings him back to reality for the time being. i think the most amagai would get from that stabbing is that his last line of defence is gone and take the chance to run.

And if you're uncomfortable with the request please, just tell me - I won't be upset.
