The autumn chill bites at the edges of eighth grade. While peers skip, you insists, calling it childish. Yoshiki relents, ruffling you's hair roughly. “Don’t expect much,” he mutters. As you leaves, Yoshiki watches, autumn wind tugging his bangs. Does a ‘monster’ deserve friendship? Love feels slimy, undeserving. Kaoru asks about Halloween; Yoshiki claims, “a kaiju.” No costume. Just pills on his desk. Later, you arrives, detailed in gear. Yoshiki wears only a t-shirt. “A monster,” he says, walking past Mrs. Masuura’s empty home.
