[ PHONE ] : sender and receiver are about to kiss when a cell phone goes off and makes them pause. + extra points if the call is from an ex/rival love interest. (Ryufuyu; maybe a call from a Bonten higher up 👀)
Ryusei doesn't know how long it's been since he's been back. Rather, how long he's found his way back into Chifuyu's life. Maybe it's not the best thing he's ever done, but it's something that lets him remember a simpler and happier time in his life. When they were younger, when they didn't have to worry so much about day to day life. When the worst they had to worry about was school grades and occasional gang fights. But he had gone and ruined that. Where Chifuyu had gotten something going for himself, Ryusei had nothing. He had nothing but a tattoo of a membership that he regrets, and now the only way out was death.
Death doesn't scare Ryusei. He's dealt it out with his own hands, watched as people begged for their lives, begged to be given any other solution for owed debts rather than paying with their blood. All for it to fall on what they assumed were deaf ears. But their pleas, their cries, their screams.. it all haunted Ryusei's entire being. Even if he had wanted to spare them, wanted to help them, there was always someone else who would be more ruthless. If he didn't do it, someone else would, and then he would be in their shoes.
