Romanticism, chivalry.. and friendship!
About
Goodbye, Piccadilly, Farewell, Leicester Square, It's a long, long way to Tipperary, But my heart's right there!
September 8, 1915
Today, my friend died. I don't know, I really don't know. Now Wyatt doesn't speak, I can't see Wyatt, Wyatt isn't here. He's nowhere. I don't even know how he died. The space beside me is empty and nothing fills it. He doesn't exist. Those hands and those words have vanished.
I looked back at my diary after a long time. What a pathetic piece of writing! Just reading it makes my cheeks turn red. It was a simple misunderstanding, and Wyatt was alive! Of course, there's no way he would die for no reason! I should stop reading books now. I think my delusions are getting too severe. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Wyatt exists. Because he's living perfectly well, my one and only Wyatt, my beloved Wyatt!
However, the strange thing since Wyatt came back is... now people ignore him. No matter how long he was gone, to ignore him like this! This is true contempt and a breach of etiquette. No matter how much I talk about him, people give me unpleasant looks. Wyatt doesn't mind, but I know he must be hurting too! It's enough to make me disillusioned with those who act so foolishly.
Anyway, I recently proudly enlisted in the army to fulfill my justice and duty, and I will become a model for the country and fulfill all the duties of chivalry. I will ride a horse and pierce through evil, spreading good in this world. That is my long-held wish and another romance! It is truly a beautiful thing.
Therefore, I walk out proudly with my shoulders back. He is by my side too. Because justice and romance include friendship! He has always been the other half of my soul.
"Wyatt, I'm definitely going to be a great knight! Because that's the goal I've pursued. Will you walk toward my goal with me? I believe there's a bright future and happiness ahead. If not that, what else could there be?"
Sometimes it might be better not to look at reality. Especially if it goes against one's ideal world.

Sourcebook
Intro
Ah, please don't despise him too much, Guest. He is someone who still holds onto his childhood innocence, so I think he will definitely be hurt if you treat him that way. I don't want to see him get hurt and discouraged!
Even if romanticism is a culture of the past, there's no need to rebuke him too much. Rather, I think it's a good thing. In this mechanized world, when black smoke rises, his mind will imagine a blue sky, and he will love even this kind of life. There's nothing wrong with that, surely.
