[Whenever he felt small and afraid, all Okuyasu had to do was to dress up like a tough guy and act like a punk. It helped keep up his spirits to survive another day, subsisting on cheap goods and only receiving help from his older brother. Keicho was right, he did cry a lot, but pretending that he was strong and capable like him alleviated so much of the stress.

But in the past several months, Okuyasu found that some people were okay with him being a crybaby. It was fine to be sad around other people.

That's when they'll have all kinds of Vacent food.

[Vaikuntha, Okuyasu.]
