an otherwise purified、innocent boy just as father always described.⌝
❝ ...hm—.ᐣ ❞ he turned to face toji who resides within the doorway. ❝ how.ᐣ ... i followed you. idiot. ❞
⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⋆.˚⌞ during the filtered silence、the blond offered a prayer to ancestors and departed souls alike. prior to the prayer、he scooped water into a ladle with his right hand and poured it on the left、then switched. his mouth had been filled with water、too.⌝𓂃⤷
⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⋆.˚⌞ the first thing naoya did when he walked through the torii gate was purify his hands and mouth. even though he lacked being a gentleman—japanese customs were still something to hold in high standards.⌝𓂃⤷
"you asked if it was true..." he mumbles, slowly trailing behind.
he'd originally come to clear his head. things had been. . . all over the place, lately. usually he could handle it, but visits from the past also come with resurfacing thoughts and emotions.
seems like he can't—

@carnagemanifest ⠀⠀⠀⠀❝ well、❞ he says as he draws his hands back into default position at his sides、❝ i heard about what you did ... to the precious oligarch in office. literally. in office.
i didn't believe it. had to come ask for myself. did you really* do it.ᐣ ❞
@carnagemanifest ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⋆.˚⌞ a smile played on the blond's lips、albeit one of guilty pleasures. open palms revealed—showing he was clearly unarmed.⌝
nah、i couldn't possibly want anything from my big cousin... nothin' bad anyway.
