Hey-I've just about cracked the code of Tbhk and I'll probably post it at some point. It's sad but also makes us realise why we shouldn't judge a character too quickly.

Tsukasa has every right to hold a grudge and I stan him because he's hurting. ;-;
I guarantee that when the manga gets to this part, we're all gonna be crying lol.
Anyway enjoy.
...

Red surfaced before dripping down, thick welts forming on his skin.

His brother was passed out on the floor and it'd been hours but, it was not as if he could do anything about that though.

Saigai:"Heh? You're not gonna check up on your brother? Hello!"
Putting his head on the floor, he shouted just next to his ear.
"He's not waking up."

Amane continued to slice through his flesh desperately.

Saigai:"Serves him right for trying to steal food. Mom and dad didn't go easy on him. Pfft. Hey are you listening? You're not, are you? Then, there."
Snatching the razor out of his hand, he began to inspect it.
"Does that not hurt?"

"Give..."

It'd been the first time in years he'd genuinely heard himself speak-it'd felt strange: the vibration of his vocal cords, how much deeper his voice was than he would have assumed.

Saigai:"You talked! You talked! You want it back? Come and get it! Say something again!"

Sighing, he pulled his knees up to his face.

Saigai:"You wanna cut yourself that badly? That means you like to be hurt, right?"
Grasping him by the hair, he smiled mischievously.

Saigai:"Let's be friends okay? Fr-i-ends."
He spelt out, Amane reaching out for the razor he'd taken.

Saigai:"Forget about this."
As he chucked it out the window, Amane began to pick at his skin instead with his nails, Saigai tilting his head in amazement at the fact that he was so eager to scar himself.

Saigai:"I'll get you another one if you do something for me-a razor blade."

That immediately caught the boy's attention.

Saigai:"What do you say?"

Putting his hand out, he took hold and stood on his own two feet.

Saigai:"Let's go!"

With a sudden noise, he looked to the child on the floor who'd began to groan and let go instantaneously.

Saigai:"Leave him be."

As he sat and moved his hair from his brother's face and he touched his skin to see if he was still warm, Saigai tutting to himself.

Saigai:"Now you're checking just cause he's making noise? Obviously he's alive. Ne ne, do you love him?"

He didn't respond and instead got up again ready to follow and carry on whatever this task was.

Saigai:"You don't know what it means, do you? Love."

Shaking his head, the older boy sniggered.
