I saved this in my library to read when I was strong enough to ready - long story short, I wasn’t. I spoiled the ending for myself before I read because I saw details somewhere else, so I thought I was prepared. I wasn’t just ugly crying, I was sobbing.

Regardless of the aftermath, I suggest this. It felt so short and I wish they had more time together, but then it wouldn’t have been this good.

I've been putting this off since forever because I know it will hurt and boi I was right, but I'm glad I read this. It's sad but that's the charm that makes it good no?

Spoilers for the story btw

I haven't yet finished it but i want to say my thoughts. This story reminds me of me and my girlfriend. Although the context is different the characters are almost one to one. She's someone who got outed as a bully, i'm someone who was in the hospital at times for long periods of times sometimes and while i didn't meet the girl she unknowingly bullied, I know that if I did, i'd try to make them meet again and make up even though she told me not to... i'm so selfish for that... I want everyone to be happier after i leave this world and i want forgiveness to go around... when i think about the future half the time i think of a future where she has to deal with my death (i'm not suicidal nor am I sick anymore (I had really bad case of asthma when i was younger and i also went to the hospital a few times for like red spots showing up all over my skin and hurting like hell, it used to happen so often and like i had to be given an Epipen in case more extreme cases showed up which i think i had to use the epipen once or twice... but that issue seems to have been fixed for now... the red spots haven't shown themselves since the very last time i went to the hospital which i think i had to stay for like two weeks i think.... but yeah that was a while ago, all behind me now except i sort of still have asthma a bit but i have stuff for it so it should be fine... hospital was a really common occurence for me so i kind of relate to Kaori in that way as well... honestly, this story reminded me of those moments and how painful it was to be aware of how weak i was), i just feel like there's the possibility i die at any point in time thus i want to experience my life with her to the fullest and i want to make sure she will have a life even without me... after all when i met her she had started an online community and when it got backlash it affected her hard and i was there for her but i was the only person there for her... not even her family is by her side... eventually though she met some more people to talk to which i made sure she persued and that it would go well, i also made her meet my friend and my sister and i think they got along... but i'm still afraid she's too attached to me that if i died she'd be devastated by it so much and i don't want to hurt her like that). She also writes stories and her main story so far is kind of something i think she's putting her emotions into... it's all about betrayal, how she felt betrayed by people close to her and how she betrayed those people by crossing a line she shouldn't have crossed... the main "villain" is a part of her. I love her writing though even if it's dark like that. I love reading more of her works. we started doing a Yuri comic together. she specifically wanted to write one without all of her bad feelings there, in that story it'll at most be merely a backstory element if she still wishes to write that. I'm the main artist behind it and she's the main idea gal... when i read this story, it feels like I see a part of us reflected... it helps me understand her more but it also helps me understand myself more. I can never think of things that i want that are truly selfish... i never make any wish for birthday presents or i rarely do because i have a hard time thinking of what i want that doesn't involve others... the one time i did tell my girlfriend of a selfish thing i wanted she forgot about it and i felt sad but i also didn't want her to feel bad about forgetting... but later on in the relationship my issues with procrastinating became more apparent, too much for me to keep hiding it and she ask what makes it so bad and like i told her everything how it's hard to just make a list and like respect it and i said how i don't want to make the list but i also want to (which i do want to make it because i don't want to burden someone with it) and than she was like "look i'll make you a list and i'll tell you to work on those stuff to repay for all your kindness"... like... it's apparent that to her i'm the reason she's smiling so much lately... I just... i want her to expand just beyond me... i want people to see her for who she is now... she also reassures me when i think i did nothing of my life saying she wouldn't be here if not for me.

anyways, it feels like this story was made for me and presents just alternate versions of me and my girlfriend.... it feels like this story is that love story shizuku is writing about. I went on hiking trips which Kaori would probably see herself in me if i wrote about them and the time i had with my girlfriend on that trip was memorable but it's also more than that, this story helped me understand my girlfriend and myself better and to try to change those bad habits of mine. I think that's a sign to how much this story is grounded and written with love. The characters feel as real as me and my girlfriend.

sometimes though i wish my girlfriend would be more open to talk about what's hurting her... she's still not comfortable enough to tell me the full story but she's telling me more and more and while i feel bad about making her relive those moments i'm also glad that she found the strength to tell me.

also with the way my girlfriend talks about death at times it really feels like the time we spend together will be short and that neither of us can do anything to stop it... i wish doesn't end so soon for sure but i'm not sure how long this wish will be fulfilled for.
