Summary
I wrote this at like 1 am after I was getting ready for bed and using the restroom. And saw a silverfish and it was crawling towards my clothes so I took a candle and decapitated(cut it in half) poorly, so like it was writhing in pain for a little till I did it a couple more times and after I did that I was like "Wow, wonder if that's how, Macaque felt before he was killed by Wukong.... I should write that"
or
Macaque reflects on how he always felt like an ant to Sun Wukong, and always like he was trailing around trying feed on his leftover fruit(attention). He was never an actually threat to Sun Wukong yet he brutally hit him until he could not run anymore. Crushed under the might of the sun he felt like he was never more than an ant in a colony running and serving the king a cog in a system. Never special, just like the rest of the brotherhood.

Summary
In the unforgiving streets of South 77th, where predators thrive and prey rarely survive, one wrong decision changes everything for a young Ayasegawa Yumichika. Spiraling into decades of pain and degradation, he learns the darkest truths about humanity and himself.
But survival isn’t just about endurance; it’s about rebuilding. In the aftermath of his trauma, he faces a new question: how do you piece together a shattered life? Can you piece together the broken pieces of yourself? Can beauty and strength coexist with scars so deep?
A bond with someone just as rough around the edges, Madarame Ikkaku, will help him, and perhaps both of them, find the courage to realize that, sometimes, you have to break completely before you can put yourself back together.
