I’ve been seeing people vastly misunderstanding the whole point of the shootout scene, so I want to share my analysis here. It’s not just a redemption for Chishiya, and not just a way to make Niragi seem deep and complex. It’s a way to compare the characters of Arisu, Chishiya, and Niragi, and show their adaptability to change.

To begin, the initial main focus of it all is Chishiya. He has just left the King of Diamonds venue, and has realized that he is jealous of people like Kuzuryuu who are able to die happily with a purpose. He is seeking to speak with someone, to open up about his inner turmoils. That is when he gets caught between Arisu and Niragi, two ends of a morality spectrum he is struggling to find his place on.

Now, why does Niragi start this shootout? He says that he, Arisu, and Chishiya are all too similar, and due to this only one of them can live (although, it is later evident that it is for this very reason all three of them survive). Niragi doesn’t say they are similar in regards to their actions in the games; he says this in regards to how they are all inherently selfish people at the core. They put themselves first and foremost, whether intentional or not, and hurt those around them as a result.

For Arisu, this makes more sense in the context of his manga characterization. Manga Arisu has the unintentional tendency of doing things for his own sake when he thinks he has the group’s best interest at heart, and his speech mannerisms mainly revolve around his own feelings. He is selfish without realizing it. The shootout finally makes him conscious of this, and makes him want to remedy this. He is adaptable to change for the better.

For Chishiya, this has been evident from the beginning. He will manipulate and use others for his own gain, without worrying what happens to them afterward. He never goes out of his way to help others, but at the same time never directly hurts them either. He has and recognizes this selfish indifference towards all facets of life. However, the games make him envious of people like Arisu, who are adaptable to change.

For Niragi, it has always been obvious how he embraces his selfishness. He enjoys going out of his way to hurt others and make them suffer. He becomes the abuser to keep from being vulnerable. He is the oddball out of the three, because despite everything, he does not want to change.

Their selfishness is just the example that Niragi gives, but there are other things they have in common as well. Their upbringings, for one – they all lacked love and affection in their home lives. What makes them different in this sense is that Arisu had Chota and Karube to hold him up, who made him more friendly and optimistic towards life. Chishiya had no friends, but no enemies either, which led to his indifference towards life. Niragi had abusers, which led to his hatred and resentment towards life. There’s also how they all initially wanted to stay in the Borderlands; Arisu because he wanted to avoid his real world responsibilities, Chishiya because he was intrigued by the intellectual stimulation and death of the games, and Niragi because he could thrive in a world without laws. But they all eventually came to the realization that they wanted to leave; Arisu first due to escaping and finding a reason for living, Chishiya next due to realizing he needs to reject the offer to truly change, and finally Niragi not because he changed, but because he simply wanted to live.

As you can see, they are all similar characters at three different levels of intensity. Arisu at level one, the level where he is still capable of goodness. Niragi at level three, where he is too far gone and considered evil. Chishiya is stuck in a morally gray area between the two, trying to figure out where he should place himself.

Anyways, back to the shootout. Chishiya came here to talk to Arisu because he wanted to change for the better. But then Niragi came and pulled him backwards, halting his progress. The shootout is a battle of moralities; a push-and-pull between Arisu’s good and Niragi’s evil.

The whole point of this scene was to give all three of them time for introspection. Who are they currently, and who do they want to become? Niragi’s comment about all of them being similar spurs their answers. Arisu is disgusted at the realization of being so similar to Niragi, so he quickly puts his gun down and pledges to change. Chishiya is inclined to distance himself from Niragi once he sees Arisu’s resolve, and only puts his gun down to become uncharacteristic and save Usagi. And Niragi, upon seeing the other two take this chance to renew themselves, realizes that he was foolish to believe anyone could be like him in the first place. He truly is alone in this world, and he only has himself to blame for it. He never lets go of his gun – he fires. And in that split second, why does Arisu pick his gun back up after vowing to change? He does it to save Usagi. To not be selfish and shoot Niragi out of his own hatred, but for the sake of saving Usagi’s life instead. Saving Usagi is the turning point for Arisu’s character, and for Chishiya as well. Niragi’s attempt to kill her demonstrates how he never wanted to change to begin with.

So yes, Niragi was right in saying they are all similar in terms of their selfishness. But he was wrong to believe that they were kindred to him and could not change.

TLDR; all three of them are foils, bound together by their inherent selfishness. This shootout is the defining scene for their characters. Arisu is adaptable to change, Chishiya struggles with his alignment but ultimately chooses to change like Arisu, and Niragi was never meant to change in the first place.

I keep scratching, but somehow I can't get in

part 1 │part 2 │part 3 │part 4

'Break his legs so that he dies in the next game.'

'What the fuck?'

The words came out of your mouth, clear as water. A visceral reaction to hearing Aguni telling that to Niragi. He wished you hadn't said anything, because everyone in the group of militants behind him turned around to look at you. Not him, although he did move his head slightly so that he could observe you from the corner of his eye. His body, however, kept facing the two people he was harassing — a young man, thin and tall, with shoulder-length dark hair, and an athletic girl with a pretty face. He had played a game with both of them long ago, Five of Spades. Kuina, your friend, was also sitting beside them.

Aguni had told you. And he had to hope that you knew why he was doing this; it was not the first time something like this happened, and sooner or later Takeru would come to save the day and put Aguni in his place. It was a way for him to… what exact words had he used? Establish dominance.

You had gone to play a game that night. And that's why he had decided to do this today, to scare the newcomers, to put on this show. He hadn't expected you to return so soon. He was glad, of course. Glad you were alive, glad he would be able to stare at your big eyes and wake up by your side one more day. He could do it forever. He would, if it depended only on him.

But he didn't want you to see this. To see him like this.

'You're not breaking that guy's legs.'

Fake it until you make it, people said. And even if you weren't afraid of the man you shared a bed with every single night, you did find Niragi and Last Boss intimidating. You had mentioned it to Aguni, many times. The latter because… well, what kind of psycopath walked around hunched over with a katana? It was pretty self-explanatory.

'Thinking you are Pyramid Head from Silent Hill and actually living to it is enough to creep anyone out.' You had said one night you were both standing in The Beach's lobby, pretending to shiver just by thinking about it, using it as an excuse to seek refuge on his arms. Aguni wasn't sure who that person you had mentioned was, but he had wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead.

'He's not going to harm you.'

'Oh, I know. I have you to protect me.' You had then given him a quick kiss on the lips, not caring if anyone was watching.

Niragi you just found unpredictable, and Aguni had to agree that it was the most horrifying thing about him; the fact that no one ever knew what was going through his head. The big rifle resting on his shoulder he had seen him shoot a bit too many times didn't quite help.

It was him, Niragi, with his tacky shirt and piercings who walked in your direction, stopping mere centimeters away from you. You were taller than most women, but you still had to raise your head to be able to look at him in the eyes. Were you pretending not to be intimidated at all or were you really that courageous?

'Ah, are you jealous the boss wants a taste of the new girl?'

Aguni had to stop himself from grimacing when he heard that. He was angry, he was ashamed. Panic slithered up his throat, choking him. He swallowed, uncomfortable, the muscles on his neck standing out.

He couldn't see your reaction very well.

He could only hope those words hadn't felt like a punch straight to the stomach to you. They had to him.

'What is it, Niragi? Are you jealous that I'm the one sucking his dick and not you?' You replied. Always with a sharp, venomous tongue, and a quick response. Never afraid to hit below the belt, as long as it served your purpose. Your nails were digging into the palms of your hands, the only thing actually actually revealing your true feelings.

Niragi narrowed his eyes. Aguni could tell he was conflicted — you were under his protection, he had made that much clear. He had got you a new bracelet with a higher number, and a bigger and more comfortable room, with a bed that not even Hatter had dared to take away from you. It was not like you spent many nights there either way; you were usually at Aguni's room, only going to yours whenever you had an argument he didn't know how to solve, or turn into angry sex. Which was becoming less and less common as he got to know you better.

But even if you were Aguni's protégé, you had just insulted Niragi. In front of everyone. And that wasn't something he would let slide easily.

His free hand closed around your arm, pulling at you, bringing you so close to him your faces were nearly touching. Aguni clenched and unclenched his fists. His muscles were tense. He saw you looking in his direction. Were you asking him to intervene?

'You're lucky you're so good at it, or you would be dead now. You bitch.' Niragi's threat could be heard easily, even if he hadn't raised his voice over the volume of an angry whisper. That's how silent the rest of the world was.

You let out a bitter laugh, throwing your head back. It looked like you would spit in his face. Like you would slap his hand away. Aguni took a step towards you both when he heard Takeru's voice. Just as he knew he would, eventually.

'Is this a fight?'

'Back off, Hatter. This doesn't concern you.'

Niragi let go. You rubbed your upper arm, pink lines appearing where his hand had been holding you. You scowled at your aggressor, taking a couple of steps back, clumsy. Tatta, one of your friends, appeared and held you by your elbow to help you stabilize.

Aguni looked at you. He wanted to ask you something, anything. If you were okay, if you were hurt. He could tell from your face, your eyes, your tight lips, you were not happy. But what you were feeling exactly escaped him.

Takeru demanded his attention, refering to him by name.

'And who is the boss here, Aguni?'

The military man had missed the conversation that had just taken place between Niragi and Takeru. But anyone could have guessed what it was about.

He didn't have to pretend to be mad, because that's exactly how he was feeling. Furious, irritated. Crossed, that his friend kept doing this. That he had forced him to play this evil, mean character in front of you, even after Aguni had told him how much you meant to him. That he loved you, or was starting to. That you were much more to him than an occasional partner.

He just stared at Takeru.

'It's you. Isn't it?'

'Go take a shower.'

Aguni just left, after stealing a sideway glance at you. Hoping you would follow, begging you to. It seemed you knew him well by then, because that was exactly what you did.

You walked right behind him to his bedroom, closing the door once both of you were inside.

'What were you thinking!? What if Niragi had actually broken up that guy's legs!?'

'Are you okay? Did he hurt you?'

You looked surprised by his question. You lifted your arm, so that Aguni could see the marks Niragi's grip had left on it. He got closer to you, tentatively, almost scared, not wanting you to run off, as one would approach a street cat.

You didn't move.

'No, Aguni, I'm fine.' You finally whispered, your voice breaking when you pronounced his name.

Aguni had seen you fuming, full of wrath, even. Had seen you crying, yelling, screaming and shouting. But he had never seen you looking so sad, so miserable. He took you into his arms. It took a few seconds, but you hugged him back.

'I'm sorry.'

You didn't reply. You just buried your face in his chest. You didn't cry either. It made him feel worse, this lack of an emotional response. This apathy.

You let go after what seemed like an eternity, flashing him one of those crooked smiles of yours. One without much joy in it.

'You didn't mean any of that, right?'

'I didn't. Takeru…'

'I know, I know. Can I ask you something?'

'Anything.'

'Isn't he going too far? Chishiya showed me that container… where you guys drop the corpses. He told me Hatter had killed some of those men himself.'

Aguni couldn't lie to you, so he told you everything. He told you about Takeru becoming more and more deranged each passing day. About how he had found him doing exactly that, killing some of the residents of The Beach with his bare fists because they had hidden their cards from him.

He confessed how desperate he really was. How scared. He was losing his best friend, the only person who had been there for him through thick and thin. His ride or die. The person who meant the most to him in this world.

You listened. You nodded. You held him. You wiped the tear that run down his cheek. You whispered reassuring words. You kissed him.

You didn't say anything until you were sure he had finished.

'I'm here. You're not alone. I don't know how to fix this but… we are in this together, okay? We will find a way.'

'I love you.'

He couldn't help himself. The fact that you had used 'we' instead of 'you'… You hadn't said 'You will find a way'. You were a team. You would stick with him, just as he had told you that day at the pool.

You smiled your half grin before replying. This time, your eyes accompanied the gesture.

'I love you too.'

───⋆☆─────────────

'Let's leave The Beach.'

'Hm?'

You were nearly asleep, in Aguni's arms, your mane of hair all over his chest, his fingers tangled in it. You opened your eyes, rubbing at them with one of your hands. You yawned.

'Let's leave. You and I. Let's go away.'

'Aguni…' He adored the way you said his name. 'Do you really think that is a good idea? Can you at least sleep on it?'

'Will you come with me if I decide to leave?'

'Promise me you won't decide it now?'

'I promise.' He was convinced his opinion on the matter would be the same in the morning.

'Then yes. I'd go with you to the edge of the world.'

It was really that simple.

The Pain Before (Reader x Niragi) (Part Two)

Part One, Part Three, Series Masterlist

Later that night, you managed to find some peace in your bed. The exhaustion took hold of your subconscious, easing you fast to sleep. If only the sleep was restful.

The nightmare was nothing new. It was now more intense than ever though. You could feel the flames burning, heating your face and body with their ferocity. You could hear the screams inside the house like it was happening at that very moment. Your body didn't seem to move, it just stood grounded in place. You wanted to scream, too. Scream for your family that could no longer, scream for the ones you've seen die on the way. But a deep, dark part of you seemed happy. Relishing in this, almost. 'Nothing they didn't deserve.'

You awoke mere hours after you had found sleep, drenched in sweat. Your heart was racing, and your breathing was heavy. You wiped your forehead, grabbing onto the bedsheets to hopefully find some sense of reality. 'It was just a dream...' You sat up, trying to catch your breath. If only the nightmare was just that, a nightmare. A fictitious tale of worries and fears, or maybe a telling of inner thoughts. But no, some nightmares are just a retelling of the life we've experienced, no matter how much we try to shut it all out.

Your stomach made its discomfort known, as you rested your hand over it. You took note of the color of the sky, early dawn, hopefully, no one will be downstairs. Hopefully. You sat up, your heart finally steadying itself. You found yourself in the cafeteria rather quickly and with much less guesswork this time. You saw no one inside, feeling hopeful you pushed the doors open, making your way to the other shelves you've yet to explore.

You quickly found and demolished a bottle of water, sighing relief over the coolness. You grabbed another for later, the fewer trips the better. Granola bars caught your eye, your favorite kind too. Ripping one open you found yourself relishing in the chewy goodness, it had been so long after all since you ate normal, packaged food like this. You decided to sit down, your stomach aches turning to slight nausea from eating too fast. Pacing yourself, you looked around at all the food and that's when you noticed, Niragi was leaning up against the wall to the side. He must've been out of sight when you entered. You felt your mouth clench and stopped chewing, his eyes locked onto yours.

Readying yourself for the worst, your muscles tensed themselves, and your eyes darted quickly to the door and back again. Yet, he did not approach. His gun was nowhere to be seen, yet it felt as if his eyes could do more damage than a gun could. He pushed himself off the wall, making a slow pace toward you. Jumping out of your seat, you took a few steps back. He stopped when you moved, his eyes boring into yours. He was faster and stronger, but it didn't mean you had to go down without a fight.

You raised and balled your hands into fists. Your father made you take some basic self-defense classes when you were quite young. Not that they would do you any good. You got knocked down by your brother in class and cried so much, your mother made your father stop taking you. Niragi didn't seem fazed, instead, he looked like he was deep in thought.

"(Y/N)."

You froze a bit. The worst part about being the new kid is you forget everyone knows who you are, even if you don't know everyone.

He seemed slightly annoyed at your silence but continued regardless. "... Do you have a brother?" You felt your body turn white. You started to shake, your grip on your fists beginning to crumble. Your lips began to quiver, and your mind started to collapse in on itself. "Y-you... Leave me the hell alone!" You darted for the door, leaving your food behind as you ran as fast as your feet would carry you. You didn't stop until your door slammed itself shut.

You pressed your back into the door, sliding down and hugging your knees as tight as you could. Your body began to rock itself back and forth and the tears started. All that could be heard from your room was your sobs, followed by your apologies, sang over and over from your dry throat. It wasn't until your eyes gave in on you and your mind began to waver off that you realized, Niragi didn't pursue you. He let you leave. You didn't dream that night.

You were awoken by a knock on the door. You rubbed your swollen eyes as the light pierced them through the window. You pulled yourself up, opening the door a crack. "Yes...?" Kuina stood in front, holding a plate and a bottle of water. "Hey, breakfast?" You graciously took the plate from her hands, opening the door for her to come in. "Thanks, I'm starved." She looked at you with concern in her eyes, "Are you okay?" Kuina's voice rang that of genuine concern. "Yeah, just a rough night." You gave a little chuckle, trying to wave her concern for you. "Thanks again for the food, I appreciate it."

She sat down on the bed next to you, "You're gonna need your strength. The games are tonight, ya know. You'll go down to the lobby and get your slip, everyone gets paired up for the games." You nodded along, taking a bite of the white rice on your plate. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot I was in a death game for a second." You managed to get a smile out of her, You sat your plate down and stared into your hands in your lap, "I... I hope we get paired up together." You felt her hand on your back, "Brings back old times, eh?" She nudged your side with her elbow gently, coaxing a laugh from you. "You'll do great. You've made it this far." 'Yeah... For what?'

You found yourself in between everyone in the lobby. You were given a small blue piece of paper with the number four on it. Some people were already forming groups with others, planning on which car to take. You felt a tap on your shoulder and turned to see a stranger. "Hey, number four?" He held up his piece of paper, showing the same group number as yourself. You held yours up as well, "Four." You forced a smile, mentally readying yourself to potentially see this man die.

You both made your way out to the cars, waiting to see who else was joining you. You were overcome with a feeling of dread as a voice rang behind you. "Well hey there Princess, miss me?" Niragi shoved the other man out of the way, pinning you against the car with his free hand. It seemed the curious man from last night was gone. "I think we make a good enough team ourselves, just you and me..." You shuddered as he caressed your cheek, and he laughed in response. Another militia member had also been put into your group, 'Figures as much.'

Niragi made the other two sit in front, and squished you in between himself and the door, wrapping his free arm around you tightly. "Don't think about jumping out now, road rash is a bitch!" He laughed as though he would be the one pushing you out of a moving car. Not that you would put it past him.

The arena was fit for the game. The wild animals, however, seemed a bit out of place. There was a cage in the center of the stage, empty, above it, a blue flag lay hanging from the ceiling. The announcement didn't take very long, thankfully.

"Registration has now closed. Ten players entered. The game will be: Capture the Flag. Game difficulty: Six of Clubs"

The rules were pretty simple, players divided into two teams, and whoever is the first to not get casually mauled by each other or the animals and grab the flag, wins. You rolled your shoulders back, loosening up your muscles. You readied yourself for the easiest route, straight for the flag. You were thankful for the stranger who approached you earlier is on your side, at least you wouldn't have to kill him. Not so much thankful for Niragi swinging his gun around.

The game began, and everyone started sprinting. It didn't take long for animals to be released from their cages, they seemed to be released in order. One every 30 seconds. The larger animals would prove to be an issue if they didn't complete the game fast enough. Someone from the opposing team began to open fire on the animals, 'Awful shot...'

It didn't do much as you heard screams and the tear of human flesh from afar. He would serve as a decoy for now, as three people made it to the cage, immediately pulling themselves and their teammates up as quickly as possible. You were lucky to get there fast, pulling up your unknown teammate from the side. Those atop the cage started clawing at each other, trying to grasp the flag above them. The distance can be quite deceiving, as the flag was slowly getting higher.

"The flag is getting farther away!" A man pushed a woman off the cart, taking her place beneath it, pushing others down to make more room for himself to lunge and grab it. You pulled Niragi up by his hand, surprising yourself. You stayed low to the top of the cage, not wanting to be pushed from its safety. The panther that attacked and devoured the man earlier was now looking for seconds. There was so much screaming you could hardly think. 'Only so many people can fit on the cage, how are we supposed to grab it if it's just going to get higher?'

Your thoughts were interrupted by the unknown man, who kicked another one of his teammates to the ground to serve as bait. You tried to extend your hand to him, but Niragi held you back. "Don't." You couldn't help but be distracted by the look in his eyes. He didn't seem threatening, but something... different. You pulled yourself back into reality as another person was thrown from safety. Anger began to boil in your heart, your mind began being clouded by intrusive thoughts.

'What kind of a man throws his comrades to the literal fucking wolves..'

But you knew well to know what kind of man would do that. A man that deserved the worst. Anger got the best of you and, surprising even Niragi, you kicked the man with all your strength. You watched as he fell on top of the wolf, distracting it from its current meal. It took mere seconds for the screams to start. A small part of you cried out, eager to watch. You pushed it to the side, and pulled Niragi up to his feet, "Put me on your shoulders! Now!"

Shockingly, he did what he was told, he bent down and allowed you to clasp his neck with your thighs, his hands holding you in place as he stood. You outstretched your hand as far as it could go, just grazing the flag, "Just... A little bit.. more..!" Niragi pushed you up by your thighs, allowing you to pull the flag down from its chain. The game board rang loudly, "Congratulations. Team B has won."

You looked at the cell phone you picked up at the beginning of the game, "Your Visa has been extended by six days." You sighed a breath of relief, 'Six more days...' You looked down, realizing you were still atop Niragi's shoulders. "You, uh... You can put me down now, please." You were surprised he did so without question. You looked over at the edge of the cage, the animals had gotten the laser it seems. Your other three teammates have also had their fate handed to them this game. You said a silent prayer for the stranger from the Beach, he seemed nice.

You hopped down from the cage, pain pulsing from your left ankle, "Fuck!" You immediately took the pressure off it, slumping into the cage. 'Must've sprained it kicking that fucker off the cage...' You were met with surprise as Niragi silently put your arm around his shoulder, his arm wrapping around your waist. He stopped at the table by the entrance, grabbed the card, and put it in his pocket. He guided you back to the car without a word. Ushering you into the passenger seat, he gently placed your injured foot in, even going as far as pulling the seatbelt over you and buckling it in.

You could feel your face heating up from his closeness, his breath lingering on you. He drove back to the Beach, carrying you inside and to the infirmary, or whatever room that was settling as an infirmary. He placed you on the chair, and knocked twice, leaving you in silence. Whether you were too stunned to question what he was doing or too tired to care, you don't know. Ann opened the door to find you alone, "What is it?" You gestured down to your ankle, "I, um, I think I sprained my ankle." Ann looked around the hallway, then gestured you inside. "Alright, let's get you fixed up."

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Thanks for tagging me @jianghuchild :D

I'm going to cheat and do 11 fics because I've posted 11 and leaving off The Long Way Home feels so weird.

1. The Long Way Home: All of Tokyo was dark. 2. Cannon Fodder: Hisano sat behind his desk, in his basement office, and regretted once more that he didn’t have a window to stare out of. 3. Bloodlust: First they drag him in front of Hatter, a cocksure lunatic who doesn't seem to know how to button up his shirt. 4. Neither of us were good people: ‘You’re going to do it,’ Chishiya tells the nurse. 5. Freelance: Niragi’s pretty sure you’re not supposed to fuck your drug dealer. 6. Road to Nowhere: The sea lapped at the honeycomb cliffs of Ikitsuki Island with a rhythmic normalcy that almost could have fooled Val. 7. Teeth: Niragi is seven years old when his grandmother dies. 8. Bad Habits: Nagase is coming to Busan. 9. Call of the Void: Niragi doesn’t fully appreciate the absurdity of the situation until the door of Chishiya’s bathroom clicks shut behind him. 10. Warmth: It’s february. The winter cold pours in through the windows, despite the double glass, and the sun spills in through the gap between the curtains. 11. Icebreaker: Niragi lays on his stomach on the roof of an office building, peering down the scope of his rifle.

Huh. I find it a bit hard to see a similarity between all of these, though most of them do seem to fit the general fic vibe I was going for with each story, in hindsight. I think I either drop some sort of (semi)shock value statement (Tokyo is dark? Chishiya's forcing someone to do something? Dying grandmother? Niragi's relationship with his drug dealer?) and hope that drags the reader into the first paragraph, OR go for vibe immediately and just do a full description ("cocksure lunatic" is a favourite tbh). Though some of these you could slot into both categories (Call of the Void, Road to Nowhere?).

More analysis in the tags I couldn't help myself

Thanks for tagging me! I'm never sure who to @ for these kinds of things but if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!

#mine #writing #it feels very obvious to state but the more effort i put in a fic the better the first line is now that i think about it #I still really like LWH and NOUWGP and Bloodlust's first lines #CotV is fine. Icebreaker is a little boring. Freelance is hilarious #you COULD argue the first line of LWH really sets the tone for the whole fic now that i think about it. in this essay i will #teeth. man. i love teeth. its a neat little concept for a neat little character study but its Niragi so hardly anyone reads it #and of course no one HAS TO read it but man im gonna recycle the concept into a novel one day and NO ONE WILL KNOW IT WAS ME #cannon fodder and warmth are kinda eh but theyre both around 500 words so theyre allowed #im gonna tag #alice in borderland #cause these are all aib fics
