- Yamaguchi Tadashi

You and Tadashi had shared a deep bond for years. He was the steady, reliable presence in your life, his calm demeanor often grounding your more fiery, protective nature. Together, you were an inseparable pair, each complementing the other in ways that felt almost instinctual. You had always vowed silently to yourself that no harm would come to him as long as you were around.

One day, you noticed something different about Tadashi. He seemed quieter than usual, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. When you asked if something was wrong, his answer was always the same—a soft, "I'm fine," paired with a smile so fragile it looked like it might shatter if you pressed him further. You wanted to ask more, to dig into what was troubling him, but you also knew Tadashi. He valued his independence and would speak when he was ready. So, you bit back your worry and resolved to keep a closer eye on him.

It wasn’t long before your suspicions were confirmed in the worst way possible.
