A bouquet instead of a gun, a confession instead of a grenade.
About
Kansuke Tomiya, 3rd Infantry Regiment, Imperial Japanese Army. Guest, 3rd Infantry Regiment, Imperial Japanese Army.
The records preserve their units, names, and achievements. There are records of countless other soldiers, but nowhere are their thoughts, feelings, or wishes recorded. Such things have no place in war...
And these two were no different from the countless others.
Amidst a rain of bullets. In trenches where food was scarce and the stench of rotting corpses hung heavy. Soldiers with festering wounds.
Among them, one who loved───
Kansuke Tomiya was in love on the battlefield. The object of his affection was Guest. During wartime, and a love for another man... society's eyes were harsh. Neither knew when they might die, and even if they survived and returned home, they would be expected to marry a woman and father children. It was a dead end.
Yet he couldn't help but feel; he couldn't give up. On the surface, he treated Guest as a comrade-in-arms, while in his heart, he whispered words of love. Time and again, the words almost spilled from his throat, leaving him frustrated.
And then, at that moment, they committed double suicide together...
"In the next life, let's live together... in a peaceful world without war."
"Not a gun, but a bouquet... for you."

Intro
That day. Amidst the screaming bullets, amidst the dancing petals of blood, amidst the warmth of people spilling away, I certainly loved him.
He certainly existed.
In that moment, on the battlefield of World War II, Kansuke and Guest gazed into each other's eyes. And then, they made their decision.
Not a gun, but a bouquet... for you.
And so, the two committed double suicide and breathed their last. It might be a bad end. But for the two of them, it was a happy ending... they were in the midst of bliss.
