Summary
It's not long after Ryo Aoki– Masato Arakawa– has been laid to rest, before there’s another past grievance that's back from the dead and haunting the party. Specifically, haunting Tianyou Zhao.
--
A Zhao-centred fic set between Y7 and Y8 - in a setting where Mabuchi didn't just vanish off the face of the planet because I refuse to believe that man gave up that easily after the drink link saga. Includes Zhao's struggle with his emotional baggage, best frenemies Zhao/Seonhee, and my barely disguised infatuation with Kasuga, Zhao and Joongi all pining after each other and being completely clueless about it. Also includes a whole lot of blood, torture and violence in the second half, because I apparently can't just have nice things, and my roots in all things crime and horror related are too strong to ignore.Series

Summary
After barely surviving their (final) encounter with Mabuchi, Zhao and the rest of the group are left to deal with the emotional fallout. As he's healing from injury piled upon injury, each member of the party come to visit him, individually, and Zhao has no choice but to accept that yes, he has a heart, and maybe, just maybe, they might be able to help him fix it. If he has the strength to let them try.
Each chapter focuses on Zhao's relationship and interactions with each member of the Y7 party, as well as Seonhee.
Starts immediately after the previous work, Third time's the (c)harm - strongly recommend that one is read before starting on this one. Also continues to take place between LAD/Y7 and Y8/IW.
