TATSUKI

He really misses his best friend

 

[logthoughts]

“It makes me remember the sensation of him being alive” is such a bar, what a beautiful chapter 😌

 

[brndndss]

what a lovely chapter, tearing up right alongside tatsuki

aoko's flashes of inspiration are always shown to us, but this one still hidden. im excited to see their new vessel

HARUMAAAAAAAA


(See, this is what the story is good at. Tatsuki's improving on his fear, reflecting on his past, and Aoko's getting ideas.)

Well, that was moving. What do we think, was Haruma a best friend, or lover?

It makes zero difference. He's a lost loved one.

 

[isaperv]

It makes zero difference. He's a lost loved one.

To be clear, it makes no difference to me either. Just curious to know if I'm missing a nuance, is all.

What a bittersweet chapter, I'm getting a little teary eyed...

Thank you as always for the hard work earlbay!

I'm saying it makes zero difference to the narrative, not what it would mean to me or you or anybody else in terms of judgement or tone. You haven't missed anything, there's just no need for an answer because it doesn't matter when it comes to the pain of losing someone you really love, who really touched you, in such a tragic and sudden fashion. I know you are just being curious, analyzing, but I encourage you to let these kinds of things ride.

Ahhh. In a way, she's Haruma-approved, then.

I know they still have quite a few things to talk about, but I'm happy they're taking the time just to enjoy each others' company for now.

 

[MistyBlue]

can’t wait to see what piece they’re going to make together next ^_^

 

[Regular_user2]

Thank you for the chapter!

That part about Haruma was so beautiful. It makes me miss a character I never actually met. And to see Tatsuki overcoming his loss while still keeping Haruma close to his heart... This was a lovely chapter. I really enjoyed it.

And I'm curious about their next piece. Aoko imagined a pure white plate, but they'll probably add some motif or at least some color, right? I wonder what it'll be.
