❗️❗️❗️Spoilers ❗️❗️❗️


It had only been a few months since Baji had passed.

Chifuyu had been at Baji's grave nearly everyday with Takemichi accompanying him every few days. Chifuyu brought yakisoba once a week, usually on saturdays. He wanted to bring some everyday but he couldn't afford that, so once a week would have to do. Most of the time he just talked. Talked about everything that had happened the past week or brought up memories they shared together. After the first few weeks Chifuyu started to cry less and less. Occasionally a particularly hard to process memory would cause him to shed a few tears but he didn't mind. Crying, for Chifuyu, meant healing. Takemichi taught him that.

Takemichi didn't know Baji very well but with how fondly Chifuyu talked about him, he felt as though they had been best friends. Sometimes he felt uncomfortable being with Chifuyu during such private moments but if Chifuyu needed him there then he was going to be there. Chifuyu tried to hide his tears from Takemichi the first few times but slowly he gave up on that.

Mikey had only visited Baji's grave once during the first month after his passing. He pretended like he was too busy or just forgot to go visit but that wasn't true at all. Mikey knew that he would have to face his feelings when he saw the gravestone and he wasn't sure if he was ready for that. After one month Mikey realized he couldn't hide from it anymore. He picked a time when he knew Chifuyu wouldn't be there so he could process alone. Mikey and Draken road their bikes to the cemetery together but Draken hung back to let Mikey do and say what he needed to.

Draken had visited the grave once or twice on his own but usually he went with Mikey. They both had gone maybe 3 times together. He never really knew what to say or do. Death was strange for Draken. He never knew most of his family so losing his loved ones was foreign.

Kazutora was in juvie. He wasn't able to visit and he wasn't sure if he would even want to or not. They had put him in court ordered therapy but his brain was still a mess. He mostly rambled on and on about Mikey but nothing very coherent. Kazutora wanted to get better but he wasn't sure if that was possible. He was able to draw a lot though. That made him feel something.

Mitsuya was at Baji's grave often. He wasn't very talkative and talking to a big stone felt stupid but he still did it. Most of the time he sat in silence till he spat put a few words then returned to silence. He was a lot better at thinking about things rather than talking them out. He was very dependent on his own brain. Baji was just like that. It was one of the only things they had in common. Mitsuya also visited Kazutora quite often which ended with him leaving with piles of drawings to place at Baji's grave.

All of toman met up at Baji's grave for a meeting once. It was short as none of the founders wanted to cry in front of everyone. Mikey said a few words but he couldn't get out all of what he wanted to say without tears. Draken took over and finished the sentiments. Remembering Baji was all they could do even though they wanted to do more. Little did they know, Takemichi would bring Baji back. Eventually.
