15. What it takes to make them cry
meredithsock beat you to this one by just a few minutes. ^^; I've been pondering it today, but don't think I have anything more to add.
18. Things they'll never admit
(CW — mention of being forcibly outed)
Never, hm? Had to ponder this one a bit. Joshua would admit most things under the right circumstances, if he thought doing so would ultimately be to his advantage.
But there are some things that have roots much, much deeper than he ever wants anyone to go digging, and he will Nope away from the subjects at pretty much all costs. Here are a few:
1. He is freaked right the fuck out by hospitals.
2. Despite the fact that he is violently averse to anyone messing with his mind (the extent of that aversion is a thing he doesn't like to admit, but which he would under enough duress), a small, wistful, and (he considers) deeply foolish part of him sometimes wishes that Sanae's psychic hey-trust-me-I'm-the-good-guy routine still worked on him. It's been a long, long time since it did, but he still remembers how nice it felt. He hates this.
3. He had a younger sister, who was eleven when he died. They had a lot of the kind of overblown, stupid, viciously petty fights that children are sometimes very good at.
The last fight they had started because she found out that he had been afraid of frogs when he was little, and she started teasing him about this with great dedication and persistence. It ended with him making up a fairly terrible story in fairly vivid detail about giant frogs coming to eat her. It gave her nightmares. She retaliated by telling their parents that she'd seen him kissing a boy in the alley behind his school.
She is still alive, somewhere, although considerably older than eleven now. On the occasions she returns to Shibuya (generally only on anniversaries of his death, and more rarely now than she used to) he flatly refuses to admit that he's noticed. He never will.
4. …Yes, fine, the frog thing. Look, there was a giant, cartoonish picture of a very cheerful frog on the wall of his classroom when he was six, and he had to sit next to it, and it was terrifying, all right? He's not talking about this. He has a gun. He's really not talking about this.
Thank you for the ask! 💜
