Chapter Text
The next day, you searched vigorously for Honebami after lunch had ended, albeit a little half-heartedly, only to hear from Yamanbagiri that the idiot had gone on a sortie… Nearly yelling with frustration, you stomped towards the pond to watch the fishes and vent. Honebami was being so irritating! And now you had to wait till he was back from the sortie just so you could apologise to him? You hoped he never came back…
Your brother was a nuisance now, and nothing more. He didn’t understand you… he had no idea how much hurt you felt. It wasn’t just him, Ichigo and you had scars too! Yet he was always being so difficult, demanding silently that everything be done his way… You were sick of it.
An ugly grey fish leapt through the surface of the pond, splashing you with water, and you frustratedly took off your jacket, attempting to dry it. Even the fishes were against you, now. Well, it didn’t matter, it wasn’t like anybody cared about you, anyways.
You turn away from the pond, and head back into the warmer citadel, shivering slightly as you leave.
