Summary: Late at night, when the VHS tape runs out, Juro's dreams catch up to him.
Notes: Title and inspiration from "VHS" by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, a song I've always associated with Juro. ♥

It’s Shu’s hand on him now, Shu staring down at him with worried eyes, Shu’s hair lit up by the ambient light of the TV behind him like a halo. Juro blinks, and the vision remains, like Shu’s some sort of angel sent to rescue him from himself.
