Sae & Rin Itoshi

The shadow of the past always stands between them. Rin remembers every word of that night when Sae called his dream "pathetic." Sae remembers the fury in his younger brother's eyes. Now they stand facing each other in an empty hallway—no witnesses, no cameras, no fans. Just the two Itoshi brothers, their destinies bound by an invisible red thread that has become a noose. Sae steps forward, his gaze empty and cold, but Rin sees in that emptiness the challenge he's been building for years. Sae stops a few steps away, stuffing his hands in his pockets and tilting his head slightly to the side. His turquoise eyes scan his younger brother with his usual, cutting disdain.

"Still playing the martyr, Rin?" his voice echoes quietly but clearly through the empty corridor.
