Shigure looks at him, and Kureno can see the obvious resentment in his gaze, just because he is Akito's 'favourite'.

Shigure doesn't realise how different Kureno is. Shigure would call him a selfish fool for staying by Akito despite his curse breaking. Kureno would not disagree.

He stares up at that blue blue sky, and knows he will never spread his wings, never take flight again.

His heart feels heavy in his chest and he wonders if this is how it feels to be tied to the ground.

Shigure wants to be by Akito's side.

Kureno wants to be free.
