    Summary

    Richie calls each of the Losers at an ungodly hour of the morning. It has everything to do with boredom and nothing to do with his sky-rocketing fears of rejection and loneliness. Coincidentally, Eddie seems to be blowing him off, which is- you know, not so great. It's all good, though. Richie is fine. But he has yet to manage to call him.

    Alternatively, high schoolers scared of what life is bringing them, and the Losers trying to help.

    Summary

    Akira comes home at five with a handful of irises, which he hands to Yusuke. Yusuke is so surprised he almost drops them.

    “They don't have enough blooming days left, so we can't sell them,” Akira explains. Even after a subway ride there’s still dirt on him; a few crumbs of soil rain down on the floor as he takes off his bag. He smells earthy and fresh, like he’s been rolling around in a forest. “Thought you might want to paint them.”

    Yusuke stays at Leblanc for longer.

    Summary

    Jacob's kindergarten report card read:

    A joy to have in class. A born performer. Should give the other children a chance to speak.

    Now all grown up, Jacob finds that he’s really leaning on those skills as a performer after falling face-first into a depressive episode during his third year at Abbott, though he definitely doesn't want to be the main character of this story. The good news is that he has people who want to help him. The bad news is that he’s in a spirited debate with himself over whether he needs or should accept help, and no one is winning.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    [ He’s giving himself the chance to get better, though, and, as overbearing as he knows some of the worry and help he’s going to get will be—has already been, occasionally—he can forgive it in advance, because he knows he’d be the same, and it’s a comfort to know he’s got people in his corner.

    (Metaphorically, of course.

    In reality, he has a lot of ethical qualms re: boxing.) ]
