## Storyline History

### Deep Blue Wonderland

Tetsu is struggling with his powers and is afraid that he might accidentally kill Taichi with one touch because of it. Speaking of touch, Tetsu ended up drawing a three in the new experiment in Project Tadpole, meaning he loses the sense of touch for the next seventy-two hours. It doesn't help that he can't tell his boyfriend what's going on. Still, Taichi stays by his side out of love. That in itself worries Tetsu.

After the first gate is opened, Tetsu sees a bakeneko in the kitchen window. It didn't help that Taichi couldn't see it himself. Tetsu ended up wandering back to the bedroom, at a loss. He later catches Shinra and Shingen spying on him outside of his apartment. Tetsu makes them take him to the rest of the team and tell them everything after threatening to burn them to a crisp.

### Wonderland Chaos

Tetsu still struggles with his powers and it doesn't help that he can hear Taichi's thoughts now. He assures his boyfriend that he still loves him, but doesn't want to be touched. When the Tadpole branch begins their second experiment, Tetsu gives into his impulses and tries to have sex with Taichi. When he snaps out of it, his boyfriend hurries off to school. Moments later, Shingen calls him and the other tadpoles over to talk to them about why they all can hear thoughts now. The whole time, Tetsu begins to question what Nebula's true motives are.

Not trusting Nebula, Tetsu decides to take matters into his own hands. He texts the other tadpoles to meet him in the library. Tetsu shares with him that he doesn't trust Nebula and decides that they should find the other tadpoles themselves.

Later, Tetsu along with the other tadpoles meet Midori Amano and learn that Celty can neutralize their powers. He decides to try and get Midori and learn more about before trusting her. Tetsu is disgusted when girls at his college start hitting on him. He communicates with Nami and Kohaku telepathically about their problems and they all decide not to tell Nebula about this new ability they have.

Tetsu finally tells Taichi about his powers and his hell in Chou Mori in "Azusa". To his surprise, his boyfriend is very supportive and vows to stay with him. In the newer experiments, the tadpoles have become smarter and can see the future. In "Thursday", Tetsu makes contact with another tadpole named Sota Iseya.
