Todomatsu gulps nervously as he stares at his older brothers before him. He wanted to know the answer to his question but he was also terrified of their response, he wasn't sure how he'd react if they gave him the answer he desperately didn't want.

"Niisans…is it… true?" He stared at them; he noticed the confused glances he got from Jyushimatsu and Osomatsu. The other three silently wanted him to further elaborate. "Do you really believe I shouldn't exist?"

He caught the surprised looks from Karamatsu and Osomatsu, Choromatsu tried not to look guilty and both Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu stayed silent. The five older brothers looked at each other, exchanging confused and slightly guilty looks on their faces. "What brought this on, Totty?" "Please…just answer the question. And give me the truth." Todomatsu clenched his fists, he willed himself not to cry, not now.

"Um…kinda?" Osomatsu.

"I can't give a definitive answer to that." Karamatsu.

"Yes? No? I—I don't know." Choromatsu.

"Yea." Ichimatsu.

"Yes?" Jyushimatsu.

Todomatsu froze. They all agreed? While Karamatsu and Choromatsu seemed confused on what answer they should give, they both silently agreed. Before he knew it, he felt tears streaming down his cheeks. Osomatsu, Karamatsu and Jyushimatsu immediately jumped up from their sitting position, panicking. "T-Totty! C'mon, don't cry!" He grit his teeth, he glared at his brothers through his tears. "How dare you? HOW DARE YOU! DON'T ACT LIKE MY BIG BROTHERS AFTER THAT!" He screamed. The tears were coming down faster. They all looked afraid. Good. They should be.

"Totty…c—calm down!" Osomatsu tried to reason with him. "It was a joke, right Choromatsu? Right?" Choromatsu looked like he wanted to vanish. He gave Osomatsu a 'don't drag me into this' look. "Y—Yeah! A joke!" Karamatsu jumped in, trying to back Osomatsu up. "A JOKE?! YOU THINK THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE?! I'VE SPENT MONTHS TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE REASON WHY CHOROMATSU-NIISAN SUDDENLY SAID I SHOULDN'T EXIST AND THEN YOU ALL FUCKING PLAYED ALONG! IT WAS EATING AWAY AT ME, I'VE BEEN CRYING, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE A BETTER BROTHER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S A JOKE TO YOU?!" Todomatsu screamed at the top of his lungs, he voice becoming scratchier by the second. Ichimatsu looked down right terrified. He inhaled deeply and glared deeply at the others. "Well, I got what I wanted." He stomped over to the closest and grabbed his duffle bag and began stuffing his clothes and necessities into it.

"What're you doing?" Choromatsu asked, his voice weak.

"Leaving."

"Hey—don't!" Karamatsu went over to grab Todomatsu by the shoulder, momentarily stopping him.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He yelled, pushing Karamatsu off of him.

Karamatsu, Osomatsu and Choromatsu looked at him in shock. Zipping up the duffle bag, he threw the handle over his shoulder and walked out the room. Silence echoed throughout the house until the front door closed with a slam.
