“I’m sorry I couldn’t save him,” Mas tells her one night, when they’ve both slipped onto the fire escape for some fresh air. 

Keiko furrows her brow as she turns to him, the city lights gently reflecting off her skin.

“Mas?” A gentle voice comes from behind him and he whips around, his consciousness rocketing back into his body. Shig stands before him with messy hair and sleepy eyes, a look of worry on his face that immediately plants a nauseous feeling in the pit of Mas’ stomach.

sorry there’s just literally no way the ito brothers from we are not free aren’t based on the curtis brothers from the outsiders like… 20 year old oldest brother who is often compared to superman and played football in high school and had great things in his future but had to drop out of college and come back home to take care of his little brothers when his parent(s) died and is always pressuring his youngest brother to do well in school because he wants him to go far… 16 year old middle brother who is bad at school but deeply charming and good with people… 14 year old little brother who is sensitive and artistic and the main character of the book… yeah.
