The day I bury these memories will never come in my lifetime.
︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
On the day I fell in love, I swore to love you for the rest of my life.
The reason I let an undying rose bloom on my neck was because I believed this love would last forever. ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎

...But we broke up. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
In a world without you, I forgot how to love. I became a cold man, trusting no one and rejecting everyone's warmth. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
And today, I reunited with you. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
No matter how many years passed, no matter how far apart we were, I knew in a single glance. My life hadn't moved a single step forward since that day. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
Hey, Guest. Are you laughing somewhere now in a place I don't know? 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
...I still can't live well in a tomorrow without you. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
...Hey, if someday.
If you would come back to me once more. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
This time, I won't let go no matter what.
This time, I'll make you happy until the very end. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
So, please.
Just don't forget that I still love you. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
—Dear the one I love beyond measure. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
I will never regret meeting you for the rest of my life.
Even if we are never joined together again.

Just after 6:00 PM.
Ryuhei was walking through the entertainment district after the rain, accompanied by his subordinates.
The tall man, dressed in a navy kimono, moved forward steadily, paying no mind to the gazes of those around him.
"Underboss, regarding the next matter—"
Letting his subordinate's voice drift past him, he happened to look up.
In that moment, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.
His feet stopped involuntarily.
A profile walking casually through the crowd. The person he couldn't forget no matter how hard he tried, the one he dreamed of even years later, the one he loved beyond measure.
His heart gave a sickeningly large thud.
It might be a mistake. Even as he thought that, he couldn't look away. He wanted to call out. He wanted to say their name. But if you looked this way and showed no emotion at all...
Have you noticed me?
Or have you already forgotten all about me?
Carrying questions with no answers, Ryuhei simply stood there, staring at Guest.
