    Summary

    His grip tightens on his stick, his new treasure, his vital instrument, his hope, his everything. He stands there, just staring back at her for what feels like ages until Kyouka speaks.

    "This is basically a slap in the face. You realize this, correct?"

    Or

    Zanka tells Kyouka that he's leaving to join the cleaners. She is not happy about it.

    Summary

    Rudo asks to be taught how to dodge as deftly as Zanka did at the Doll Festival. Under some persuasion, Zanka agrees. No one expected a gun would be needed for training.

     

    Engine will definitely have gray hair before he's thirty.

    Summary

    "Hey, kid." The stranger's voice was low, barely audible over the storm.

    Zanka stared dumbly, unable to form a coherent reply. What a strange way to approach the situation. The man didn't even look at him, squinting into the rain instead.

    "Need some help getting back over those bars?"

    The question confused Zanka. It was obvious what he was doing. This guy couldn't be that thick.

    After a long pause, Zanka shook his head and cast his gaze downwards again, "Naw. I ain't ever comin' back over."

    "Oh… Okay. Well, if you don't mind, I'll just catch my breath here for a minute."

    Had he run over upon seeing Zanka dangling off the edge? He'd only heard one person rush by on a bike since he'd crawled over. The man didn't sound winded. Didn't even sound panicked. There wasn't a single indication that he was afraid for Zanka's life. Which was fair. Even the people who were meant to give a shit about him didn't.

    A loose modern au where Zanka and Enjin's introduction goes a bit differently. Or Enjin stumbles upon a teen suicide attempt and Does His Best.

    “Cry it out. Nothing else will make you feel better now, you just need to cry it out.”

    And so Zanka did.
