[If there was one thing Takatora was sure he should have learned by now, it would be how to keep his life in perfect running order. He had been the head of Yggdrasill's Research and Development branch from the moment he'd left high school and even before that, his father had kept him on a tight and strict schedule, never a second unaccounted for or left out of place. Unfortunately, with all of Takatora's scheduling and trying to squeeze an extra hour into every day, he still felt as though he never had time for anything, let alone everything. Even his weekends left little time for himself, though Takatora was also painfully aware of his obsession with triple-checking everything under his command and bringing such weight onto himself. He couldn't allow for errors.

His morning routine started a bit later on the weekends, if only because Takatora knew he had to catch up on sleep at some point to make up for running himself ragged. Getting sick was something he couldn't risk. The usual morning routine went by quickly: dragging himself out of bed (he'd never become a morning person, as much as he wanted to), showering, getting dressed, checking for any news or alerts while he had been sleeping. Thankfully, nothing important had happened during the night. Takatora always lived with the fear of something awful happening while he was asleep that he would be unprepared for, but every morning brought the same temporary relief. For now.

Takatora headed out of his room after an hour or so, still checking his phone as he made his way down the hall and towards the stairs. Ryouma already wanted to talk to him about something, which was mildly surprising as Ryouma rarely (never) got out of bed so early, which meant he'd been up all night again. Stepping past one of the maids, Takatora spoke a return greeting to her as he continued on, paying more attention to typing out messages than his surroundings.]

[He meets his brother's gaze as strongly as he can, but being touched makes his brain stop for a moment. He fights the urge to swallow nervously, and tries to keep his voice steady.]

Why? You're my brother. And as much as you want to keep me safe, I want to keep you safe, too. That includes keeping your happiness safe.

[He tries not to move too much. He's not totally sure what's going on. At least the pressure on his chin doesn't hurt, but it will if Takatora presses much more.]

... Why?

[That... he has an idea of what that meant, though he's not sure if he wants to think about it right now. It takes his brain a few extra seconds to start working again, by which time Takatora is already heading out of the room.]

... Have a good day, nii-san.

[Just as if nothing had happened. ... Should he go to practice today? ... No. He said he'd come home and he means to stick to his promise. He has to finish getting ready for school. He waits until Takatora is gone before starting to make his breakfast.]
