022 - [. . .]

[Some may have noticed that a certain Storm Guardian seemed to have practically disappeared. He hadn't left the island, no. . . In fact, he was still there. . . Though he had hidden himself away on a secluded area on the island. Once the future Gokudera had returned, he couldn't get himself to return to his Boss. Not after what happened. . . Not after nearly killing the man he loved and devoted his life to. There was a pile of cigarette butts beside him, and the man himself looked . . . not so great. He hadn't had much motivation to take care of himself, after all. At this point, he honestly just. . .didn't care. He pulled his knees to his chest, resting his chin on his knees, the look in his eyes distant as he simply stared forward at nothing in particular. He couldn't deny that he felt lonely. . . But at the same time, he felt like he deserved this loneliness. He really hadn't deserved to stand at Tsuna's right hand side at all. Someone needs to come kick this idiot out of his funk. Srsly.]
