[Immediately following discussion of grudges here;]

i'm not holding a grudge, kishibe.
don't fuck up like that again, you're more of a brother to him than i've ever been.

im gonna cry

[manuscripture]

[ Well this is unexpected to the point where he isn't going to bother with the other thread. ]

There were circumstances that prevented me from having any clarity at the time. It's why I haven't been keeping company since. I truly don't want to hurt anyone.

He has told me about the baggage the six of you carry around. I have done my best to be a positive influence. Is that really your opinion of me in an encrypted setting?

(': me too tbh

[ichimyatsu]

he's an idiot but he wouldn't have told me he didn't hold it against you if you meant it. not halfway to bled out on an alley floor.

baggage isn't even the fucking word for it. i'm not answering that, but i'd appreciate it if you didn't spread this conversation.

[Which means yes.]

[manuscripture]

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the gossiping sort.

I will continue to guide him under my tutelage. He has come a very long way from the person who boasted a shitty resume at me for show. Not to sound weird about it but I love him very much. Not many people get that luxury.

[ seriously he only 'loves' like three and a half people. ]

[ichimyatsu]

oh thank fucking akatsuka.

...that's nauseating. [But he can't describe the sick feeling it gives him. It's called guilt, because some guy that's known Karamatsu less than a year has no issue saying he loves him, and his shitty little brother would rather push him off roofs.]

[manuscripture]

It sure is nauseating. That's why I never say it. I have enough trouble keeping my food down as it is.

While you have a lot to fix on your own time, I would take my advice and calm the fuck down before you lose your brother forever. I already received issues from your family for giving him a job.

[ichimyatsu]

[If Ryslig's networks allow for read receipts or that infuriating little ellipses that shows someone is typing, Rohan would receive both of these things for a long time, the ellipses starting and stopping at least five times.]

we're pretty much all terrible people. i think he was born into the wrong family.

[Which, is perhaps slightly better of a statement than "He'd be better off losing me,".]

[manuscripture]

No one is inherently terrible.

You know that, right?

[ichimyatsu]

you've obviously not met the rest of us.

[manuscripture]

I've met a few of you.

I can't keep track of who is who but I have.

And I still don't believe that anyone is "bad" outside of circumstances.

[ichimyatsu]

maybe choice, but not circumstance. we've been hellions since we were toddlers.

also people we've known most of our lives still can't tell us apart, i don't think anyone would expect you to.

[manuscripture]

If Karamatsu wasn't committed to wearing denim I wouldn't know which one he was either.

Regardless, I'm not going to hold anything against you. Your reaction was valid.

[ichimyatsu]

just be glad becoming a faerie made him naturally sparkly so he mostly quit sequins.

[...What the fuck is he supposed to do with that response. Maturity isn't something any of these assholes are accustomed to.] good. don't do it again and i won't hold it against you, either. or, i guess, if you're gonna fuck him up again, at least take the same arm on the other side so he's symmetrical.

[manuscripture]

I don't have plans to do it again.

I honestly don't care what anybody says about me. Half of the peninsula wants me dead for a myriad of reasons.

[ichimyatsu]

up to and including removing limbs from irritating brothers. nice track record. i won't hold it against you, it's too much effort and he'd probably whine.

[manuscripture]

I have allegedly done worse.

You all take care of yourselves. If you need anything you are welcome to get a hold of me.

As long as I don't get shanked.

[ichimyatsu]

allegedly.

...sure.

[manuscripture]

Take care, Matsuno.

Remember what I said about being a bad person.

[ichimyatsu]

[Several minutes later, likely after he's had a complete hissy fit over Rohan being a nice asshole and how mad it makes him, entirely internalized;]

ichimatsu is fine. people have enough of a time telling us apart without using the same name.
