Where: Kou's house.
Why: Knocking some sense.

Kouchisei was secluded in his bedroom at the family home. When his father returned from work, Kouchisei did not go downstairs to see why he was early, and continued doing what his father wanted. He seemed content, but the truth was in his bedroom was tranquility.

It was at times like this he wished he didn't have cram school.

While he was walking up the garden path, he occupied himself by looking around at the stone lantern and gnarled Japanese oak. He knew a few people wouldn't understand why he attended, or allowed his father to decide so much for him, but he understood how important his future was and the thought of that scared him.

He'd found it a relief to come home; him not being good with people usually drained his energy. A shower and bed. His father was in the front room, talking to somebody. He coughed halfway through hearing them mention Nanakamado. The teachers didn't come here. He was reasonably sure he had done nothing wrong. He hung his coat on the rather elegant hanger and looked to getting upstairs before he could be heard.

	Kanaye twitched, but shut up and let Maeko talk. She was doing much better then he was, anyway. She had a way with words that he couldn't ever possibly understand. He just nodded and tried to look like he wasn't trying to throttle Kou. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pardon the intrusion," said Masami as Ryota let her into the house. She made her way to the lounge, where Maeko and Kanaye were already talking to Kou. "Oh, everyone's already here..." she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kou's head swirled. His nails dug deeper into the couch, and when he rose his face showed a level of anger he hadn't revealed to most people. A quiet moment of apprehension, and then a soothing gust of cold.

"I'm not going to be a doctor." He turned his head, eyes focusing on the shelf where there was a framed photo of a woman. He didn't know these people well enough to let them know his feelings just yet. "I know I'm being selfish." It was something he was ready to admit. "You people helped me when I needed it; it shames me to know I can never repay your kindness."

Unfortunately there was no way they knew what living with his father was like. His way was perfect. Nothing changed, or was broken. And he'd half-expected them to be told if they broke something they'd pay for it. "But you must understand. I don't have parents as free-willing as you."

And there was a brief pause. "I'm scared."

Masami had arrived just in time to hear the tail end of what Maeko had been saying, and see Kou's response. "...Oubai-san... Well, I hope I'm not saying too much, but sometimes having free-willing parents is just as bad as overbearing ones." She wasn't going to tell Kou that her parents were generally neglectful of her, so she left it at that.

"We're all scared. People's lives are at stake, and we have to put our own lives at stake to rescue them. It's... hard. But this is bigger than any of us, I think."

	"Oh, I apologise for my assumptions, then." Maeko said, bowing her head. "I must have had you confused with someone else." "Sakuraba-san is correct. These are people's lives, they should take priority over one man's approval or diapproval." She sighed. "What are you so scared of?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kouchisei tried not to seem too selfish. He didn't want to be like his father. He was more like his mother, honestly.

"Fine. Sort out my problem. I don't mind going."

He attempted to hide the fear in his voice by clutching his hands in his lap - not to mention aggression. They were asking him to choose his friends over his family and he did not think he could do it.

"And if none of you are frightened, then you're a bunch of liars," he added, responding to Maeko. "I'd have thought of what was obvious."

	"What's to be afraid of, Kou-san?" Kanaye asked happily, stretching a bit. "I mean, sure, death hurts, but it's not all that scary. And we can come back from it. I mean, come on, Kou-san. Would your mom want you to obey your father, or for you to help someone in need?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kouchisei felt his jaw slack. "You are a complete moron." He threw his arms up in the air. How did Maeko put up with him? One hand fell, and then he stuck out his arm. "My mother wants - wanted - me to stay with my father, to make sure he's all right. If you think I'm going to leave him on his own, then you can get out right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We're not asking you to leave your father on his own," Masami began, "but well..." She didn't quite know how to say it, but she tried anyway. "I guess... maybe you should make some of your own decisions, rather than just listening to what your father says..." It probably didn't come out quite as well as she would have wanted.

	Kouchisei's gaze flickered around the room, settling anywhere but on the interlopers who'd come to wreck his home life. The thought of deciding for himself? Inflexible. "Say that again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Make your own decisions. Your father doesn't control your life. Or rather, he is, but he shouldn't. Stop using him as an excuse to not think." Kanaye was trying not to glare and failing miserably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kou stared coldly at Kanaye with all the force he could muster. This gaijin had come into his home and was giving him orders. Unbelievable! "I'm thinking right now," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Take responsibility for your own actions." Maeko said, feeling a little like they were ganging up on Kou here. "Make your own decisions and take responsibility when they go wrong." Maeko said. "Even if all you do is follow orders, accept responsibility for the orders you're following. Blaming your situation is a poor excuse." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hmn. Leave me alone. I need time to think."

He had tried bringing the pressure he felt to an end with that, he hoped, and raised his right hand, balled, to his chin. Too many people, too many voices. They were disturbing the tranquility he'd come to appreciate and spoiling it with their changes.

Finally, he said:

"Don't bother me. I have said I'll think about it. I need to be on my own. I can't think with you here."
