Summary
It's like a flip switched. Or- no, it didn't switch. There was no switch, that's just how it always was - Daisuke was the one who was closing his eyes to the flashing red.
He realized it before the crash. Though, it didn’t process until Jimmy’s frayed ends were pulled at more and more, and it got harder to ignore the signs.
And even now, it's still hard to believe the sight.
Because... because it's what everyone told him, wasn't it?
He’s an optimist, too naive to catch the mood of a room. A useless, goddamn good for nothing, never-worked-a day-in-his life kid.
And yeah... that's all true.
But is he an optimist for hoping that he, deep down, isn't what they label him as?
Or is he a coward for not accepting that fact about himself?
...
He looks at the half empty bottle of mouthwash pushed to the far corner of the lounge, easily still in reach.
It's about time you start pulling your weight around here.
Or ; If Jimmy was more direct in his wording; If Daisuke was just a little more aware. And how it makes the useless, goddamn ray of sunshine on the ship lose its shine
