RECENT MANGA SPOILERS

Lemme put you on some angst because canon can suck it and I like pain

Ecto after the war looking for survivors to help with evacuation. His clones are moving rubble and helping hurt heroes to safety. Another hero -maybe jeanist or something- stops him because “we found Higari..and it isn’t looking good, you need to prepare to say goodbye.”

Ecto is running on pure adrenaline, rips his mask off and kneels where Higari is. He looks terrible, and it’s clear the worst is going to happen. Everyone around moves away so they can have their final goodbyes.

Ecto carrying Higari’s body off the battlefield, numb and broken.

Ooohhhhhhh Anon, I love you so much!!!! Sorry I kinda rambled on a bit but here is my response??

Includes recent manga spoilers and talks of death ->

Sorry this took so long to answer!!! I haven’t been in much of an angsty mood and my thing keeps on bugging out whenever I try to write an answer?

But aaaaaaaaaa yessss this!!! This angst right here! This hurts my heart in the most amazing way possible and I absolutely love it!!

‘Tis kinda funny too, this particular scenario is one that I’ve thought about a lot myself since I started reading the manga and had caught up to this arc. Just because a) we haven’t seen Higari since the school music festival thing arc, and b) I swear the last time we saw Ecto he was carrying those lil hospital beds to evacuate the hospital and stuff?? Sooooooo where are they? Great angst potential....ya know?

Anon, this angst is gorgeous, but I raise you some angst with the possibility of it also being -> ✨the other way around?✨

A thought of mine: Higari is a hero, yes? And he also works in support, yeh? But I also have many headcanons of him being one of the ones that aid in the reconstruction of buildings and places after big fights and incidents - meaning that he gets called on a lot after situations like this. (I have got other lil headcanons for him as well that sometimes seem to be very contrasting to how most people portray him so yeah lmao dunno whether I should post some of those?)

Soooo this time, he is getting ready to go and join everyone in the fight (maybe he does and that’s a different piece of angst with many different endings in itself- I think you could probably tell that this part of the arc caused me to spiral into multiple different daydream plots and that sure kept me sane over quarantine) however he is forced to stay put, with all might and eri and that lot, because the commission “couldn’t lose one of the people who could fix and put things back to how they were conveniently”....this makes him mad, of course, and cue shouting and angry gremlin noises as Ecto goes to calm him down.

I actually did a sad lil (very low quality) sketch for this bit but I can’t find it rn I might post it at some point. But there are tears as Ecto is suiting up and getting ready to leave and Higari is all like “why can’t I just come with you” and Ecto is like “well you gotta stay safe” and he’s like “please don’t go, don’t leave...” and they’ve got their foreheads pressed against each other’s, in that way that they did to let each other know they love each other at any time, but this time there are so many tears. Ecto simply says with a smile, “wait for me, I’ll be back before you know it!” And Higari is just begging for him to stick to his word and to come back alive.

It’s seeing the sad look on snipes face as he returns and just hugs Higari immediately. No words exchanged yet, but Ecto’s ring just handed to him in a shaky silence. Just imagine that Ecto was caught up in shigarakis explosive quirk moment. And nothing was left but his ring....yeah...Higari sinking to the floor and sobbing. Feeling nothing but pain and emptiness. If you’ve seen this post (sorry to bring these old drawings back they ain’t brilliant but) the last one of PL was inspired by this particular scenario I’m talking about -if you notice the ring 👀 my thoughts immediately going to the imagery of Yuna, unable to see what happened but hearing Higari wailing in despair and knowing, just knowing that something awful had happened and that she’d lost another parent in her life. (Also I can’t- I cannot write Yuna in my angst aaaaa I just cannot put her through anymore suffering and like she’s already lost a loving family and parents once, how would she react to one of EctoLoader dying as well, a family that she’d been accepted into after so many years of being alone- aaaaa I can’t nooooo yuna I am so sorry)

Or Higari finding Ecto as he’s helping evacuate. Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!

Either way, if one of them found the other or had to deal with them dying and stuff, there’s always this picture of (bringing this hc into everything) them gently placing their forehead against the still body that they’re holding in their arms. But this time, only one is able to receive the “I love you” message of the simple action, unable to return it, and only one is able to send their love a last time, knowing that the other is truly gone.

Wow. Guess who’s back in their angsty mood >:)

This was fun and thank you for sending this! I have thought about this a lot before and you made me realise how much I had actually thought about it lmao. I have many other lil headcanons and angsty things for Higari and these two (as I mentioned earlier) if there is anything specific you’d like me to ramble about please let me know I’d be more than happy to!

Thank you again for gloriously ripping my heart out and feeding me with angst! I love it!

~Eclair ❤️
