Burden Bearers

Nanaki Kazuaki had never been Yuuya’s teacher, but had been a familiar face in the hallways of St. Pigeonation’s since he’d arrived. He’d always had that far-off look in his eye, and might at any time be found dozing over tests, at school assemblies, or even in the public washrooms. He’d always regarded Doctor Iwamine with a measure of suspicion, his far-off gaze focusing enough to tell Yuuya that his guard was up. Enough to tell Yuuya that this quail could be an ally, or he could get himself in trouble.
