[ He can't do it. He can't. Even with his face throbbing in pain from Ichimatsu's hits, he can't do it. He can't hit his younger brother. Not after all they've shared together.
Side by side in living and side by side here, in death, with so much that Karamatsu wants to say and so much that Karamatsu regrets. He knows Ichimatsu will make fun of him for not punching him but..
He can't. Not when he had promised himself to protect those who are weak, those who need help.
But it tore him to pieces. All of this, it was tearing him to pieces.
Karamatsu's posture relaxes as he lets out a shaking breath through his teeth, frightened of his own reaction. He counts to three in his mind and closes his eyes, feeling them wet with his tears that he previously shed. ]
... You need to be more thankful for what you have. Others are not so fortunate as you are.
