[Karamatsu might be Karamatsu, but he isn't stupid. Not completely, anyway, and certainly not when his brothers are involved. He knows Ichimatsu won't talk to him about this, and he doesn't actually plan on making him right now. He's not sure he can, even though he knows he wants to. Needs to.
Stiffly, he wills himself to stand. He half expects to suddenly lose control of his legs, but it never comes. Arms, legs, everything is still his and as it should be. Once there, he slowly makes his way over to Ichimatsu, kneeling next to him before putting a hand on his shoulder.
It's not a gentle grip, not exactly. It's urgent the way Karamatsu's fingers dig into his brother's hoodie, as if that will make him peel himself off the floor.]
