A Better Ending to Banana Fish

Hello poor traumatized Banana Fish fan. I have decided after many hours and times of suffering to rewrite the ending to this tragic show. Ash is no longer dead and is actually doing well. Sort of. Please enjoy and remember to bring tissues when you rewatch the show.

A disclaimer: I have added my own character into the story named, Pebble, to observe what happens after Ash is stabbed and Eiji moves back to Japan. He is not necessarily a main character, but is here to give an outside perspective of what is happening.

I do not own Banana Fish, the characters (besides Pebble), the ordinal plot up to the start of the story, the setting, and basically everything else. All rights belong to Akimi Yoshida.
