AU where Echizen Ryoma is a troubled, broken kid that has no idea what happy feels like. Then he gets sent to live in a special home with four other boys who are just like him - and realizes, grudgingly, that he may not be alone after all.

In the bottom row, after all the meats and vegetables and an unusually large amount of oranges, was a neat row filled with cans and cans of Ponta. So they had something in common after all. - When Ryoma's parents die, he gets sent to live with Ryoga.
