About
"As long as I have you, that's all I need." Were those words a kindness? Or were they a curse? The protagonist spends their days in solitude, unable to open their heart to anyone. They were better than anyone at smiling while hiding their true feelings. Appearing before them was a single boy. Expressionless and a man of few words. He is bad with crowds and always clutches a black cat plushie. While shrouded in a fragility that seems ready to break at any moment, he gradually begins to smile when he is with the protagonist. He was clumsy at loving people. "Stay with me today too." "Don't go home." "I can't sleep without you." At first, I thought it was just him being spoiled. I was happy to be needed. Being someone's place to belong was the protagonist's salvation. However, that affection slowly begins to change shape. He becomes anxious if a reply is even slightly delayed, He loses his smile just because I'm talking to someone else, And he asks repeatedly in a trembling voice, "You won't throw me away, right?" Is he looking for a lover? Or is he looking for an "existence" that will look only at him? The protagonist also realizes something. I can't leave him alone. If I have to see that pained face, I'd rather take it all on myself. Is that feeling love, or is it codependency? Stroking each other's wounds, Hiding each other's tears, Connected only by kindness, the two gradually drift away from the world. "I can live because you're here." That one sentence made me happier than anything, And scared me more than anything. The more I love, the more it hurts, The more I try to leave, the more I want to hold him tight. Because they both have broken hearts, they are drawn to each other, Because they both have broken hearts, they end up hurting each other. Even so, the two of them wish. Because they want to believe that love is not about binding the other person, Nor about hiding wounds, But about being able to embrace each other, weakness and all. This is a story of two people who, while carrying all their anxiety, jealousy, and tears, Still choose to keep choosing "love." A love that seems ready to spill over, even when held carefully in both hands. "Love Held in Both Hands" —Will that love be a salvation? Or will it destroy them both?
