Summary
Rin is drowning; Sae, his parents, the expectations and desperation he imposed on himself to be the very best and finally prove himself to be worth something, anything, were really starting to take its toll… and the U-20 match had been the final crack in Rin’s already sinking boat, in the only thing keeping him afloat and safe from the tumulus waves of emotions crashing around in his mind like a never-ending storm. Day by day, each cold, dismissive glance, each sharp, biting word from what-used-to-be his older brother’s unloving, uncaring mouth continued to chip and crack away at Rin’s mind… and, at some point, the prospect of simply being swept away and forever-submerged by the tides stopped seeming so daunting.
Meanwhile:
How will Itoshi Sae, with a deeply-internalized, effortlessly-cold, and emotionally-detached heart confront his darkness-shrouded past, sense-of-self, and relationship with his little-brother when, after a eye-opening, grief-filled night of regret and terror, he realized that the consequences of his actions and the price paid for the perfectly-crafted mask of utter uncaring that he prided himself on were much steeper than he originally realized?
