Summary
The miseducation of Narita Kyouji.
Kyouji was initiated in the spring, nearly a year later. You almost couldn't recognize him at the ceremony: carefully shaved, hair slicked back, luminous in a jet black kimono with the family crest. He had broad shoulders, a real batter's build, but the squinted eyes of an outfielder who could watch a ball fly into direct sunlight and still tell you exactly where it would land. He looked like the shinigami of rakugo stories coming to take his share of your life; he looked, disconcertingly, like the old photographs of your boss hanging on the office wall. For your own ceremony, your older brothers had instructed you to keep your eyes down, like a dog that knew its place was to submit. But you watched oyaji and him match gaze for gaze, staring at each other as they drank from their cups three times, and something churned in your stomach, looking fruitlessly for a way out.

Summary
He’d picked Satomi out for two reasons. The first is as he’d said: out of the hundreds of middle schoolers crammed into that humid concert hall, the leader of the top choir must be the best of all. The second, which he had declined to mention: Satomi had looked easy to handle.

Summary
They walk for more than ten minutes before Satomi asks, “Where are we going?”
Kyouji blinks. “I was following you,” he says.
Christmas Eve in Osaka. Then, the rest.

Summary
Satomi says that a lot— I won't do anything. He means kiss you, or touch you, or make some stupid childish mistake like wandering into Yakuza territory to give you a good luck charm. He also means embarrass himself, or cry. He means cross a line. It's cute because he doesn't get it— that you're not worried about him doing something to you. Not like you're worried you might do something to him.

Summary
“Oh? I didn’t know you had a son.”
Kyouji smiles at her, the kind of expression he used to direct at Satomi back when they were hardly more than strangers.
“He’s my nephew,” His hand comes down heavy on Satomi’s shoulder. “My sister’s kid.”
