Iemitsu's disappearance is made note of, in passing, not even unusual for it's lack of reaction.
"Trash is dead." is all Xanxus says. He doesn't give any further answers, only throws glasses, but Squalo notes that he does glance as Sawada the younger - or only one now - a bit longer than usual.
Here is the finalized version of one of the Kingdom Hearts sketches I posted on my art process tumblr
Trying out a different style than usual and seeing how I like it. So far I am really liking it, it was surprisingly fun. I did not have as much trouble separating everything onto different layers as I feared!
I can now post the set of bookmarks I made for ERROR: 0x46921 - A KHUχ Brain Zine in 2023!
This was so much fun, I loved working on these.
Initially, I had to only do one bookmark, but then i couldn't decide between my sketches and decided that I would just power through and finalize all of them.
It takes them some time to meet and honestly with all this inheritance business, time is getting in shorter supply. "Sorry about that, I'm always watched." Tsuna apologises, cause it's absolutely the fault of his circumstances. "Best not say anything wrong out in the open."
Enma nods, a bit more settled than the day they set the meeting up, but the two had spent time together and his friend had learned how to read Tsuna's lies, like his Guardians had, they could sense the minute changes in his flames far better than Reborn could and being of the same age undoubtedly helped them decipher the whys.
He was just happy that these bonds, even if construed by Reborn as first, proved true and all of his friends covered for him. He'd seen Enma's guardians look at them with some confusion, but they all went along with it.
"You know what's wrong with my mom?" Indecisive his Intuition says. "Or you know my mom?" Truth.
Enma fidgets a bit, looking at the ground before visibly gathering his courage and looking to Tsuna. "Your mother is my dad's sister." Enma says and Tsuna freezes. Truth.
This. This has vast implications. His mom did not recognize Enma and from what Enma has spoken to him of his family, now obviously because they're Tsuna's family too, Enma looks a lot like his dad.
His mother should have recognized him immediately, or at least said something to the thought of him looking familiar, but nothing was said. His mother looked through Enma like she did through everyone but Iemitsu.
This also meant his mother was from a family with different flames. Truth.
Iemitsu probably knew of this. Truth.
Iemitsu picked mom specifically for this. Truth.
Tsuna could feel his hands shake.
"He lobotomized mom so he could get an heir." Truth.
Enma looked troubled and reached out to him. Tsuna took a deeper breath at the touch on his shoulder, he didn't know he stopped breathing. Enma looks like he wants to say something, something bad and doesn't want to unsettle Tsuna further. Tsuna swallows.
"It might be best I hear it now, whatever it is." Tsuna tells his...cousin. He has a cousin on his mother's side. He has an aunt and uncle and possibly more. He's not alone. Tsuna takes a deep breath again.
Enma's lips thin, but he doesn't let go of Tsuna. "Your dad...he was after my family, our family…" Enma doesn't want to continue, but Tsuna's Intuition fills in the blanks.
"Mom stayed back to keep him back, as bait-" he chokes. Truth. He doesn't want to know that.
Tsuna puts his head in his hands, tries to breathe. There is hesitance in Enma's flames, in his body, but he still hugs Tsuna and Tsuna hugs him back, shakes.
Enma has no problem holding his entire weight and Tsuna is so grateful cause he can't stop crying. His cousin just holds him tighter and doesn't let go.
