Summary : Chapter 10 : To protect. He wonders, sometimes, how his kouhai came to be like this, and who failed to protect him.
Sometimes, when he covertly stares at the thin scar stretching itself across Kuroko's back, he wonders how his kouhai came to be like this, and who failed to take care of him. He's fairly certain that no one can have such lack of presence naturally.
He wonders if maybe he didn't have enough attention paid to him as a child, and when it was that he decided that to be invisible was what was meant for him.
He wonders who first pulled him out of his invisibility, and whether it was even done intentionally, whether they realized that if they took him into the spotlight, they'd have to protect him; whether that scar came from the loss of their protection.
He wonders and sometimes almost asks, but he thinks that in the end it doesn't matter – because this time they will protect him.
Can you guess whose point of view it is? Hint : it's not who you think (as in, someone obvious like Kagami).
