    Summary

    Uroboros: an ancient depiction of a snake swallowing its tail; an emblem of wholeness or infinity.

    “What if I don’t get better,” Hitoshi rasps into the soft fabric of Aizawa’s shirt.

    “Do you want to?”

    More than anything, he wants to say. Doesn’t. Can’t. All he can manage is a weak nod.

    “Then you will.”

    Hitoshi pulls back, blinks up at him. “But—”

    “You will.”

    And Hitoshi lets himself fall forward, knowing Eraser will catch him.

    Lets himself break apart, knowing his dad will hold every piece until he’s ready to put himself back together.

    Until he’s ready to try again.

    Or: the aftermath
