    Summary

    ...- ' Frost doesn't know how to be a person. Doesn’t know what he’s meant to do, how he’s supposed to act. He’s afraid that he’ll be found out. Discovered of his alien insides, the nothing that sits where his head should be and the fog that crowds the strings connecting him to love.

    Frost is, ultimately, a stupid useless loveless animal. And he knows he’ll be found out eventually. '
    ...
    A contemplation on Morning Frost. Inspired by many Radiohead songs and by my own lived experiences.

    Summary

    The first time Torbek gets a hug from Frost; first hug in general for years; is after a long day. Worn thin, tubing pulling at his fur and chaffing away at the tolerance he’d built surrounding them. A familiar but not quite the same sort of burn under his skin, sharp and bright. Acid, almost. Charring and cooking, but it doesn’t.

    Torbek would know the difference.

    But, of course, just as Torbek had trained himself to notice everything about his friends, his friends have noticed him. Frost, specifically; because who else of them would care enough to even look?

    And Frost was looking, a soft and steady expression on his face every time Torbek turned to look at him. The same look as in the Inn, or the night the tabaxi gave Torbek back his coat. Patches cleaned and navy trim sewn into the hem. Frost was reading him despite Torbeks–admittedly weak-efforts to keep himself unreadable.

    His pain is embarrassing, the ache unreasonable, and his exhaustion unrealistic.

    Frost sees it anyway.

    4 times Frost hugs Torbek and 1 time Torbek hugs Frost.

    Summary

    There was a time, at the start of their journey together, when Frost felt so out of place among his friends that he thought of himself as expendable. Knew he was expendable. Even when they were just coworkers.
    He hasn’t felt that way in a long time.
    Or—hadn’t, rather.
    He watches Torbek run around with Gricko and Hootsie while Gideon and Kremy laugh from the sidelines, and suddenly those feelings of inadequacy return.
    He doesn’t know what to do with himself.

    A Morning Frost character study because he deserves it. Frost develops a crush, doesn't understand that's what's going on, and uses his feelings as a catalyst for his doubts and insecurities. Not very Frostbek-focused, but it’s there.

    Summary

    Still, Taka feverishly thought, it would have been nice if Monokuma really had a time machine...

    It’s the first day in the Killing Game again, and this time he will get everything right. He knows what motivated Maizono, Enoshima, Kuwata, Mondo, and what their classmates’ potential is! So it would be as simple as talking to them, right?

    After being killed by a dozen of spears, Taka woke up on the first day for the fifth time. And realized that it would not be so easy to save them all, but then again… life is all about making effort after effort!

    Current arch: To survive.
