Sakura Haruka was broken, but he would fight to put himself back together. Growing up in the place where he did, broke him. With parents that refused to acknowledge him and a city that hated him, he learned from a young age that the world can be an unjustly cruel place. Isolated from birth, Sakura struggled to believe love was real. More than anything, he didn't believe it was meant for him. When you grow up being broken, it's easier to not let anyone close enough to hurt you than to risk being shattered further. ------------------------- Suo Hayato was lonely, but he would fight to find love. Being of ill health came in a package with sadness. Suo knew this better than anyone. With parents who avoided him for the majority of his childhood and bullies who were more than happy to hurt a fragile boy, he learned that surviving in this cold world alone wasn't going to be easy. Fights came first, and then the smiles. He learned early on that a smile could become a weapon as strong as any fist, because smiling made him feel a little less lonely. When you grow up lonely, it seems easier to carry everything on your own than to give out pieces of yourself you never learned were meant for others.

Both Suo and Sakura are terrible at talking about emotions. They're used to fists doing the talking. So instead of "I care about you," you get "Why didn't you dodge?" or "Don't get hit again." Suo burns quietly. His affection turns into frustration, protectiveness, and sometimes even recklessness. He doesn't just want to protect Sakura - he needs to. This story is about everything they don't say. It's about the glances, the tension after fights, the bruises that aren't just physical. And it's about how two boys raised in violence slowly begin to realize that caring deeply about someone might be the most dangerous thing of all. When Sakura bleeds, it cuts into Suo in ways he can't explain. And that pain - that burn - is the first real sign that this isn't just friendship. It's something more.
