Preview for the story I wrote for the @ryujizine.bsky.social, which has fantastic spot art from the talented @.unfortunately-i-love-it (tumblr)! 💚

For Real?! Writer Preview

He figures out how to ignore the pain, file it away and get up and jog to school, to throw an arm over his best friend’s shoulder, to tease Ann until she’s coming at him with those long nails. To do his best to look over his notes for Makoto’s sake, to help Haru harvest her garden and lug the produce to Leblanc, and to take Yusuke out for dinner for the third time that week to make sure the poor dude gets actual nutrition.

He’s got people. He’s got purpose.
