Cast

as Haru Akinashi
as Shion Tatsunami


  • Base Saihate Station canon.
  • 竹 ran away from home due to the copious abuse but tried really hard to pick himself up.
  • Did some night classes to try and catch up just enough to be able to get a stable job.
  • Funded his night classes by performing and met a nice girl.
    • Had a run in with his older brother who happened to find him and it led to him breaking up with his girlfriend and skipping town.
  • 竹 managed to land an office job, though he was definitely less skilled than the others that were hired at the same time as him.
    • Kinda got it out of pity.
  • 汐 joined the company a bit later.
  • 汐’s living alone since his dad died.
  • Kind of just been coasting by.
    • He completed his studies and had a promising career in anthropology, but just wasn’t coping with the grief.
  • 汐 actually used to watch 竹’s shows as a way to get out of the house.
    • Place just felt haunted by his dad and it frequently got overwhelming.
  • 竹 was put in charge of him (low risk candidate and under-performing supervisor; it would take a miracle for him to fuck this up.)
  • 汐 and 竹 getting along and 竹 taking him out for lunch and stuff and desperately trying to stop him from causing a disruption.
    • 汐’s trying, he’s just easily excited.
  • 汐 doing super well at work and accidentally showing 竹 up all the time, not realising 竹’s getting really down about it.
  • 汐 eventually fucking up with a client super bad but 竹 ends up taking the blame for him and is now doing even worse at work.
  • Upper management is pretty sick of 竹’s shit at this point and then his line manager is super sick of him because his poor performance reflects on them.
  • Drifts away from 汐 just in his depression era.
  • 竹 finding out some of his family (including his older brother) died in a fire.
    • Sort of laughs, damn he wishes he could take credit for that.
  • 竹 witnesses 汐 killing his ex-girlfriend and hits his 4 Deception to be like “I’ll protect you so lets run away together”
    • Fully intending to hand him over to the police.
  • They instead wake up at Saihate Station and 竹 doesn’t remember the murder.
  • Cooking with 汐, listening to his problems, sitting on the beach; just really connecting with 汐 without the memory of what he did.
  • 竹 can’t help seeing him as just a lonely kid that really doesn’t fit in anywhere.
  • Neither of them really made friends at work besides each other.
    • Everyone felt 竹 would drag them down.
    • 汐 was just too boistrous for everyone.
      • He went to quite a few drinking parties in the early days and drunk 汐 was too much for most.
        • He’d get handed off to 竹 a lot, since he was officially his responsibility.
  • 汐 really wasn’t doing well living alone.
  • 竹 is honestly flattered that 汐 loved his shows that much.
  • Despite everything, he’d have rather kept doing shows like that for audiences like 汐 than working a stable office job he was no good at.
    • But there is no audience like 汐. There’s just 汐.
  • Making up for each others faults.
  • Even after remembering, 竹 can’t bring himself to think of handing 汐 over anymore.
    • He did it because he loved him.
    • Most people, he killed to protect him.
    • That just happened to be a selfish one.
      • 竹 can be selfish too.
    • 汐’s all he’s got.
