When everyone (MTC, FP, and M) finds out that BB had to deal with a bomb before their preliminary tournament... they freak out.
"WHAT?!"
A certain bro, mostly Jiro, blurted it out. Saburo scolds Jiro as per usual, "You just HAD to say it, didn't you?! Stupid Jiro!" with Ichiro in a defensive posture...before trying to run away.
Samatoki catches him, his arm wrapped around Ichiro's shoulders like a vice.
'This is why I didn't want to tell them!' As he struggles.
Jakurai asks, "Are you alright?"
"We're fine," Ichiro answers.
Ramuda hugs his arm, "You really OK?~"
Ichiro gets his arm back, "Yes."
And Samatoki... well... he's pissed.
"Damn brat..." he growls as he squeezes tighter, "You're not allowed to die on me."
Ichiro growls back, "I know!"
Samatoki doesn't back off one bit but does let go of Ichiro.
As Ichiro's surrounded by voices of concern, something he's not used to, is never used to. He trembles before exploding, "ENOUGH!"
"Why do you care so much now?" Ichiro asks, glaring, "I can't trust adults, remember?"
"Ichiro-kun..."
"When TDD broke up, you practically abandoned me," Ichiro narrows his eyes at Jakurai and Ramuda, "Without a word. You two may not have hurt me directly but you still left me behind... So, it's hard to trust you now."
Ichiro starts walking away, "I can't rely on anyone except myself anymore...so please, other than rap battles and jobs, leave me alone."
As he leaves, his bros follow behind him, "Ichi-nii/Nii-chan!"
Leaving the adults behind, it's completely silent.
Jakurai, Ramuda, and Samatoki all lower their heads, 'We failed him...'
Eventually, Jyuto gets the info on what happened and tells everyone.
"Damn..." they all sigh.
The kids handled it well and survived, even if they were just lucky.
Ramuda, Jakurai, and Samatoki think of some ways to gain Ichiro's trust back...
