pukanavis Summary
"A few days have passed and Jun takes a fall on the side of the road during a sudden downpour. Just as he did the last time, Reiji makes an appearance."
Location: Shopping District
Reiji: You've done nothing to hurt me. There's no need to apologize.
Jun: But...
I've never been good with people, I'm just a nuisance to everyone around me...so I thought I'd been a bother to Karasuma-kun too...
It's my fault you're looking at me like that...I'm sorry.
Reiji: ...
ーFlashbackー
???: 'S okay, 's not a big deal.
It was a dream, an amazing dream. But we all gotta wake up from our dreams eventually. Ain't that what father used t' say?
So please...don't cry so much...Reiji.
Reiji: Butー I didn't want you to give up on your dream.
ーFlashback endー
Reiji: ...
People like you are what they call "weak".
...The "weak" will always be "exploited".
...I refuse to be "weak" like you any longer.
I'll be on the side that "exploits".
If you don't wish to be ripped to shreds, then stay away from me and Epsilon Phi.
Location: Epsilon Phi Share House
(Door opening)
Reiji: ...
Tadaomi: You're back, Reiji-kun
Reiji: I am.
Tadaomi: ...Reiji-kun, you're making the same face as before. Did you see Suzaki-san again?
Reiji: You're the same as ever... try laying off the human observation sometimes.
You might research the wrong person and discover something you'd wish you hadn't.
Tadaomi: Something I wouldn't want to know?
Reiji: ...I found myself holding back a hand from a fallen person I'd helped before.
I acted kindly initially but showed my true nature the second timeー
...But the old me wouldn't have hesitated to reach out to someone that needed it.
(I wear so many masks, I thought my "true self" was hidden.
But before I realized it, my "true self" had been replaced by a mask too.
ーNii-san, I'm sure my "past self" will never return.
If only I didn't know that)
Tadaomi: Reiji-kun is showing weakness...how rare.
Reiji: ...That guy who accepts his own fragility must be rubbing off on me.
( ...I shouldn't have given him that warning, either.)
It seems rainy days still cause a change in me.
Tadaomi: Are you okay?
Reiji: Of course.
I won't let my dreams die as mere fantasies.
For that I will ensure that Epsilon Phi is the victor of LRFes. I'm prepared to use any means possible.
(The screen fades to black)
Reiji: No matter how heartless of a mask I must wearー
