Hey~ how would the brothers react to seeing a kid going through a similar situation as they did when they were kids? Ex. Like a Reiji seeing a kid who tries hard to please his mother but is constantly rejected? Or Kou abused like he was? Thanks, I really like your writing~

Admin Mawile: (｡•́︿•̀｡) Warning for LOTS of child abuse and really unhealthy attitudes about it

Shuu:

-Aside from bringing back some of the worse memories of his own childhood, it doesn’t really bother him. Someone else’s suffering means nothing about his own, no matter ho familiar it is.

Reiji:

-Seeing the same kind of misery in someone else makes him sick. Not only does he see far too much of himself in the pathetic child, countless memories of his own traumas come flooding back. 

Ayato:

-It’s not his fault if that wimpy kid isn’t tough enough to fight back! He took care of his own problems, and someone who just sits there and cries isn’t going to be getting any sympathy from him. 

Kanato:

-How pathetic. That broken look on the child’s face makes him absolutely sick. Seeing such a perfect reflection of his own abandonment and loneliness hurts in ways he’d never, ever admit to. 

Laito:

-Outwardly, all he does is make some awful comment about how that child’s mother must love him too much too, but inside, it’s everything he can do not to shut down in panic and vomit on the spot. 

Subaru:

-It’s easy to call himself a monster under those circumstance, but some mostly innocent kid just seems miserable. He can’t bring himself to even watch, and hides in his coffin for days afterwards, avoiding everything. 

Ruki:

-Even worse than his usual nightmares, the all-too-familiar memories have him curled up on the floor, more terrified than he’d ever be able to admit to. The thoughts that it all brings back are just too much. 

Kou:

-He goes completely blank, eyes turning glassy and body shaking. It’s making him sicker every moment, but he can’t turn away from the other child, frozen in place by the memories pinning him down. 

Yuuma:

-There are plenty of miserable kids in the world, and this one shouldn’t be any different, and yet something about a fire is making him jittery and nervous, long-forgotten memories pressing at his thoughts. 

Azusa:

-It’s kind of sad that someone else would have to be so unhappy, but at least this child too has pain to help him. There will surely be a happy ending for this child too, just like his own. 

Carla:

-There was nothing wrong with his childhood. The training from his father was what made him so strong, and this child being so ungrateful is just pathetic, no matter how sick he’s starting to feel. 

Shin:

-It’s pathetic how this other kid is reacting, and he hates how similar it all is to him. The ignorance and desperation to earn someone’s favor are painful to watch, even though he’s supposed to be so far from that.
