GRATITUDE WAS BECOMING AN EASIER LYRIC TO SING --- IT SETTLED in his lungs now, a flower blossoming under doting touch. even with his extensive training, it was impossible for shouto to see every aspect of a fight --- but his miscalculations still bore a HEAVY weight on him regardless. if shinsou hadn’t been there to protect him, he would have been defeated. ❛ thanks for having my back. ❜ it was growing CLEARER each day --- the painted picture of clarity his father had failed to teach him. i cannot walk this path alone. his classmates ----- his friends, they had his back, and he was slowly learning to accept their hand when they held it out to him.
❛ are you okay? ❜ desolation had left them all in shambles, the aftermath of fighting stitching weariness and exhaustion into the marrow of their bones. he had been so caught up in his adrenaline, the song of WAR DRUMS beating in his ears / its holy mantra sung in the air, that he had not noticed the wound that shinsou had sustained in result. a serious note etched itself in shouto’s expression, lethargy soaked fingers reaching for the bandages and medicine at his belt. ❛ here ------ ❜ let me help you. ❛ can you walk? you can lean on me if you need to. ❜
