okay before this idea slips from my mind:
furin and suo confrontation start! suo is trying to be in bkg/rc officer mode but is genuinely rattled by his friends’ and classmates’ presence in his hometown. it probably shows on his face, at least some. (we know he can get those looks in his eye)
sakura (and co.) confront suo about it all. why did you leave? why did you come in the first place? did you always mean to leave us? did it mean anything? why did you beat nirei to a pulp? why did you think we would let you get away with this?
suo gets visibly more uncomfortable as the conversation (maybe it’s a bit of a fight as well?? tea ☕) continues. mounting pressure, he’s getting cornered, he might really not be able to get out of this one. and he’s been under so much stress since being back home trying to mitigate bkg’s disasters while he blew up his personal life. it comes to a head when sakura and his friends confront him because he genuinely cannot handle that right now. the persistent care and concern and meddling in his affairs is something suo cannot physically afford at this point. so he staggers (figuratively and literally). maybe he faints. his facade is breaking because we’re seriously approaching his breaking point.
idt i articulated this very well lol but !! i’m just salivating over the idea of suo breaking down physically (with the emotional hints as well ofc) before their confrontation can truly happen in earnest. furin gang is forced to reckon with the weight of what suo was keeping to himself. suo is forced to confront their still-there love for him alongside the fact that things are Not Okay.
