You n’ me aren’t too different from that tripe there, y’know. Ya overcook any ol’ meat, it’ll get way too tough to eat. But not tripe. Gettin’ burned just makes it better. Gotta burn it over n’ over, ’till it’s black as night. Only way to bring out the flavor. We gotta keep gettin’ burned, you n’ me. No matter how much we try n’ gussy it up, we’re yakuza to the very core. Worst cut o’ meat there is. Kinda like this trashy tripe here, huh? Yup. That’s why we gotta hop back on the fire. Tripe that ain’t burned through don’t even deserve the plate it comes on. But once ya char it nice n’ black... That’s when it takes on some meanin’. Yakuza these days forget that.
you know what trips me out sometimes. the fact that kiryu gave saejima his iconic original outfit. like how the hell did kiryu, known fashion disaster, pick that out. or own something in his size in the first place. it could’ve been haruka who picked it out but it would’ve been hard to do that in one night just guessing what sizes would work. and the little necklace??? where the hell did that come from????? I have so many questions

Summary: James Potter was annoying and arrogant and attention-seeking and almost definitely playing some sort of elaborate joke on her, but… he was also occasionally funny, and spectacular, and fun, and loyal, and a whole host of other things. It takes Lily 7 years to uncover them all. A glimpse into the development of Lily and James’ relationship, from second through seventh year; canon compliant. Companion piece to my other work, “She Didn’t,” but can be read independently.
