Summary
Trauma was not something Ushijima was familiar with. When he looked back at his last 25 years, he could account for very few things that made him truly, genuinely heartbroken. The loss to Karasuno, keeping them from Nationals his senior year. The death of his grandmother when he was 10 years old. The divorce of his parents early in his childhood, splitting their household.
While these things affected him, when he looked down, towering over Oikawa Tooru's trembling body, starved of both affection and proper nutrition, his dark eyes lifeless and fearful, his slender hands shaking in terror, afraid of something Wakatoshi couldn't see, he knew that he didn't know trauma. Or pain. Or suffering. But understood that Oikawa did -- he knew all of these things in abundance. Whatever had unfolded in the last five years, it caused the once prideful and charismatic man to shatter, leaving behind a husk of who he once was.
