By the time Shindou moves out of his parents' house, he's twenty-three, a title holder, and has amassed a fortune large enough to buy a small brothel in Shinjuku should he so choose. Instead, Touya is relieved to have persuaded him to a modest flat near the Institute that will comfortably accommodate Shindou and all of the pre-pubescent crap he refuses to be parted from.
Even while they are packing up the boxes, Shindou's mother is checking off a list and labeling the boxes with the same nervous, fretting hands that fix Shindou's collar and smooth down his inappropriately trendy hair. Touya thinks back to when he'd overhead Waya telling Shindou that Touya was a Momma's boy, and knows without a doubt that Waya has never seen Shindou's mother in action.
