I think this is the right time to let you go. I'm only making it harder on myself holding on to you. I am like a loose thread on the tail end of your shirt, I keep hanging on. Not wanting to let go. Because I firmly believe I am a part of you, that I am needed. But in truth, I am just a loose thread, that maybe when you see me, or if you think it is best to get rid of me because my sight is unwarranted, unneeded, it would be best that you pull me off and cut all ties. It would be painful I know. To be severed from something or someone that you have been part of all your life. You cling on as best as you could. As if your life depended on it, your existence, the continuous meaning of your life hangs on the very nature of your hanging in there, being inconspicuous so that you won't be pulled out.

An unwanted part of a whole. You were a fiber of that whole. Without you, I don't think this whole shirt will be complete. Even if you are just a thread, that holds a part of the hem of a shirt that she wore, you are that thread. But your wearer didn't feel the need any more of your assistance, you no longer played a vital role in her shirt, you are now just a nuisance. That she would rather pull you out, cut you out.

Maybe she would get the shirt repaired, or maybe she would throw the whole shirt away since it is not the same anymore. It is ruined, like your existence, you were not only discarded but also cut off, pulled off, the wearer had decided that pulling you out is the only option. Meaning, you are nothing but just an option, just a part of a whole that is no longer needed. Sad, isn't it? You used to be very important, you used to be an integral part of her favorite shirt, that she wouldn't want to lose you, the same way she wouldn't want to lose you from her life. She held on for a little while, like meeting you for the first time, she was giddy with excitement, she always want to touch you, feel you. But lately, she hasn't been wearing that shirt that you were part of. She found something new, or she bought something new, and she has a new favorite. It's hard. It is going to be hard. But I guessed you have to get used to it. Like life, nothing lasts forever, it lasts for a long time, and some people think it does seem to last like a lifetime. But it only felt that way but in truth, it never was meant to last this long. You just got a free card, and you gained an extra day. But once she found someone new, or something or someone she discovered she would rather wear, than you. You will be nothing but a fringe. A loose thread that soon will be discarded or thrown away. Ces't la vie, mon Cherie. Nothing lasts forever.

There's a place inside of me that still aches. For whatever reason I cannot tell, it's just painful and no matter how I try to ignore it, there is no amount of distraction that can pull me away from it. It is not physical pain and yet it's crippling, it's disabling my entire being. And suddenly for no apparent reason, I would just cry. Tears would start pouring down my face and I would just wail like I had been struck with a blade and it's killing me. Only to realize that's pain is called heartache.

They say it will get better. They say after a while it would get easier. But for how long am I going to be this way? One year, two years, three years, a decade, a millennium? Would I be able to be move on? Get better? For me, I consider it as dying. I just died. And I cannot live again. Like a cat, I had wasted all of my nine lives. Like a vampire, I had outlived my forever. Like a human, I just fade away from natural causes. I wish the reason is simple as that, so I can give meaning to my death. And not this empty feeling inside of me, and not this painful hurt that is the reason for my demise. I am just gone, how sad is that? And the reason for my death is saying that she is in more pain than I do. How can be that be possible, right? When she caused this when she inflicted this on the one person she swore with her life she loved? How can you swear with your life and strike down the only person you said means more to you than life itself? How can you say that you love me, and then hurt me like I mean nothing to you?

You're in pain? And you don't want me to move on? Why? Because you are jealous because I am trying to resurrect the me that you abandoned? I wish I can say that I will be better now. I wish I can say I can reinvent myself again and forget you. But what if I don't want to? What if the person I hate the most now is still the person I love the most? I bet that would make you extremely happy that you turned me this way. That you got this hold on me I am merely just a puppet for your own manipulation. Ironic word, manipulation, I had been called that and a number of other nasty names to justify to your friends I am this monster that hurt you. Does this make you into a better person or just one lying, stupid bitch that you are so you can say you are nothing but a helpless, poor victim? And this coming from a person that says she loves me. How very sad is that? How come I never realized I was so in love with a sad, pathetic woman like you? That the only reason you can break up with me is hurt me and lie about me so that you can escape doing the honorable thing and break up with me like a real person who used to be in love with me. Yes, used to be in love with me, because I don't think you will hurt me this way if you really love me.

Time forgets. Hearts heal. Will those words ever apply to me? I really don't know. I don't think I will really forget, I don't think there will be a cure for this emptiness inside of me. I don't think there would be any amount of filling that can ever replace the ones that have been taken away from me. I am a human that has been decapitated of one of my limbs and there is nothing I can do about it, but move on, lived on as a half-human than I used to be.

I had lived with a lie for the three years I have known you. And I will live on living with these lies that your friends believed that I am to be because of you.

Forgive you? Please don't ask me that. No amount of apologies can suffice the pain that you caused me. Even if you cried a bucket of tears and tell me you are in pain too, would ever make me feel better or ever make me tell you I forgive you. I'm sorry, I am human and I can't forgive.

For the first time in all my life, I run out of masks, for the time I said I can be strong, I cannot find the strength to put up my walls and protect myself again. For the first time, in all the calamities I have suffered, I cannot remake or reinvent myself. Why bother? There would be another pathetic and heartless person who will come into my life and hurt me again.

I had been wounded far, far deeper than this. And I had survived, I had recovered. But this time, I don't think I can heal and recover. I don't I want to. I just want to stay this way. A human who is nothing but an empty shell.

I should have been careful before when I met you. I was blinded by your halo, so I never noticed your horns. I should have taken the hint when you said you are a little bad inside, you are nothing but a devil in disguise.

There is a vague knot inside of me, I want to get away and begin a new life where I don't know a soul and forget everything. But it still felt that my life is on hold. On hold for a very long time, since that day. I can still hear that dead silence on the other end, and that is all I hear. Nothing.

You were my life, the heart, and the soul of my entire being. I had taken it upon myself that I wouldn't survive if you ever leave me. I wish I can take back those words and live again. But it is like a spell, a mantra, it has a strong hold on my being. Like a person being hypnotized, I am being manipulated against my will.

Time forgets. Maybe I am just this way because I am grieving, for me that is inside of me that has just died. I will be okay. Time heals. I will not forget, but after a while, it will get easier. I will not heal, but after a time, I would come to accept that a part of me I need to shed to move on.

I am a veteran of human calamities, a survivor of heart wars, not a better person but a person who can stand up again, and say, I will forget you. I had stopped loving you. I survive one lifetime without you, I will survive another one. If you were born to hurt me, I think there is someone out there who is born to heal me. I hope they come soon, I need some deep healing for my soul had been weak. I will be saved. I will be born again. I will be remade. I will be whole again. And this new life, new me. I will always curse the day I met you.

Warnings: Warning! A pissed-off Quincy on the warpath against a redhead Soul Repear!

There has to be a switch or an alarm that tells you when a relationship has to expire, or one of the partners has reached their limits and needs to be away from their partner before they hurt their other half.

I had lived with Ichigo for many years now, and I had reached my patience with the man. I have never pictured myself in that situation before now that I'm in one. We had a good start, a Quincy and a soul reaper, what a combination; there's got to be a law against this union, they could never be, it couldn't or shouldn't be recognized nor even be accepted. But the thing is, whatever we are in the other dimension or world, we are still both human and top it all men. That alone should make us think twice about it. But alas, I let Ishi junior decide for me when it jumped out of its confines and greeted his Ichi junior, or should it be Ichigo supersize! If you could only see the size of that thing, (no wonder Orihime has her panties bunched up or even Yoruichi would transform to human in her naked form to be with Ichigo!) I mean, I literary moaned when I felt that colossal rod was poking at me between my legs. That alone is one of the many wonders of Kurasaki Ichigo, and he set the two worlds in a frenzy just by his mere presence.


"Uryu," he called me the minute he walked in the door.

I unconsciously moaned. No matter the number of years we add to our relationship, this man could turn me into jello just by merely calling my name. The man is sex on two legs. There's no other way to describe him. The women have regular catfights whenever he talks to one of them. If I were a weak person or had no special skills or powers, I would be dead by now because the women will skin you alive, even the soul reapers are after him, Rangiku is the scariest of them all; she's big and powerful and one beyatch you're not supposed to tangle with when it comes to their men, good thing I'm a Quincy.

Ichigo even had to use Bankai to protect me from Rukia and Renji. Sometimes I wonder why I allowed myself in this position but, Ichigo Kurasaki is all worth it. I'm lucky to have him.


"Welcome home." I greeted, smiling.

But some good things have their end. For Ichigo and me, it's this time. I don't want to do this, but he broke one of the unwritten partnership rules: deception when you lie to your partner or violate their trust. I trusted him, and he even told me that nothing was going on between Rukia and him. But I caught him, and I know he cheated me and lied flat out to my face. I know I'm not the hottest thing walking in two legs, but I am the last of my line, and yes, another man, but still I threw all caution to the wind so that I can be with him. And I was the catcher in the relationship; how could I ever stoop so low?

"I'll call you later. I can't talk right now. Yes. At the usual place." I heard whispers in the dead of night.

Ichigo never set his phone to vibrate; he loves this game ring tone he just downloaded, and he would even dance to it every time his phone rings. He even bugged me to call him so that he would hear it. But these past few days, I haven't listened to his phone ring, and he doesn't bug me about calling him. He is always out of the house, and I don't know where and who he is with. It's probably my fault because I never asked before, I never cared before. We are classmates, so we usually go home simultaneously; he doesn't even have clubs as I do. And his other friends like Chad and the others have their own lives and activities, so they don't invite him somewhere, and if they do, they ask me, even half-heartedly they would, because they knew that Ichigo and I are together.

I never drink. And I prided myself on being a strong man. But I do love that redhead with everything I got. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do if it involved Ichigo. Hell, I even asked his father and sister's permission that Ichigo moves in with me. But, I have a hard time dealing with this and the situation at hand. I don't know what's going on, and I have already run out of ideas about how to get it out of him without him lying to me more.

I decided on one desperate attempt. Seduce him. And ask him after the deed. Not only would I get rid of these sexual tensions that had been eating at me, but I would also finally get the truth out in the open. I'm not a sexual person; in fact, most of our sexcapades are initiated by the redhead. But desperate times call for desperate measures.


I waited in bed, drunk from the big bottle of sake I purchased on the way home. I even went online got those sexy tongs they were advertising, not knowing how to put it on; I even had to surf the net and look at naked pictures to be sure I got the right side on. When I got that done, I showered in those new scents of body soap that I know he will love. Scent Of Passion, it says, but it's just strawberry-scented liquid soap. I changed the bedsheets, again, purchased red silk thin sheets just for this.

I was spraying body spray when I heard the door open. I clumsily sprinted on the bed, tripped, and almost hurt myself because I was so drunk I couldn't walk straight. I'm going to kill someone, especially a soul reaper with red hair, if I don't know the truth by the end of this night. I managed to flop down on the bed without any more incident or desperate tumble that would have killed me with all his toys and gadgets all over the bedroom floor.

I was heaving like a person with an asthma attack when the said soul reaper finally humbled me with his presence. He stood by the door eyed the candles all over the place.

"U-Uryu, what's this?" he asked, a little taken aback, not only by the romantic setting I had desperately put together but also his frigid lover is half-naked on the bed wearing tongs with bells on it and half drunk.

I reached for him awkwardly, doing what the guy in the porn I watched the other day did to seduce his lover. "C-Come here, lover," I called in a whisper, not knowing how to sound sexy.

The air was so quiet I almost heard Ichigo gulp across the room.

"O-okay." He said and took a step, watching his way from all the candles all over the floor.

"Take off your clothes," I commanded; my head is spinning from all that sake, but I'm determined to pull this off.

"Oh, right." He said, fumbling with jackets, shirts, and pants; he yelped when he almost burned one of his clothes and decided to blow out some of the candles near the bed.

"Hurry up!" I cried impatiently.

"Yes!" he yelled and jumped up on the bed, panting; I let out a moan at the sight of the sexy Ichigo. Yes, this. I want to keep thisโ€”all mine. No beyatch is going to steal my man.

"What's all these?" he asked, huskily, trailing his fingers on my chest, the dog collar with a chain; I let out a loud moan as if his mere touch left burning trails across my body. When his fingers fumbled with the bells on my tongs, I tilted my head back and caught my breath in my throat. I heard him gulp again.

"Y-You don't like it?" I asked him, a little breathless. My hair was pulled back with mousse, and I was wearing contacts to see him, posing the way I saw the actor in the porn movie.

"You did these all for me?" he asked, leaning closer, his breath on my skin. I don't need the sake to get me intoxicated; having Ichigo this close is all I need to get me high and drunk.

"Yes." I replied, in a whisper, closing my eyes, "I'm your pet, tame me, master." I said, handing him the end of the chain connected to the collar on my neck. I meant it, too. Without realizing it, I wasn't role-playing anymore. Because I know I am his.

"Uryu." He whispered, kissing the crook of my neck, and I drowned myself at that moment.

Ichigo kissed the Quincy real slow, like a delectable feast; he savored every bite, nip, and kiss. He has never seen his shy lover this way, and he had never seen him behave this way. And he felt a little guilty for ignoring him these past few days. He had been busy planning something for the last Quincy of the netherworlds.

Heady and dizzy for the sake and Ichigo's kisses, he was panting. Ichigo opened him like a present, as it was his birthday, not Uryu's. Trailing hot kisses down his body, taking those tiny buds in his mouth, sucking and nipping them between his teeth until it's all red and hard, he didn't leave a part of Uryu's body unexplored, and he went love bites everywhere. Uryu was moaning weakly, and it took a lot of willpower for him not to cream right then and there.

"Now, I want you now." He whispered desperately, moaning, gripping the silk sheets around him.

"Wait. Wait, love." Ichigo whispered as he took him in his mouth, licking him like a melting popsicle, sticking his tongue in his lover's hole, tasting him, moaning at the pleasure of his essence. Ichigo was drowning in the joy of Uryu's body. So smooth, even the man's sweat tasted good.

"You tasted so good, babe," Ichigo murmured, licking him down to his toes, and he took each digit in his mouth, sucking, licking, not leaving any part untouched, and then he climbed back up. So I was again kissing, licking, and nipping a new path up the man's body.

Uryu was moaning and bucking his hips closer to Ichigo, foreplay and role-play forgotten; all he wants is Ichigo on top of him. Dizzy from desire, his arms flailing, reaching for him.

"Now, please," Uryu begged.

"Yes, my love, now." He said, reaching for his hand and kissing it.

He positioned himself between the Quincy, teasing his entrance with the tip; Uryu bucked his hips to meet him eagerly, "Now, Ichigo." He moaned. So, Ichigo complied with his wishes, entered him smoothly, and it was hot and tight; he closed his eyes in pleasure at the tightness. No matter how many times they had done it, Uryu is always tight. Uryu can squeeze him in, eat him, and suck him in. Ichigo let out a moan as he began to move, slowly at first, and then developed his speed, rolling his hips and plunging deeper and deeper into the tight wetness known as his lover's sweet hole.

Then Uryu did something he had never done before in all their times together, and he sat up on top of his lover, his lithe body on top of Ichigo, his arms around the soul reaper's neck. And they began their dance again, one hip meeting the other, faster, deeper. The two men forgot how many times they had done it that night. All the candles burnt out of the room when they both flopped back on the bed, still connected in the dark, arms around each other. Whispering I love you's and kissing welcoming the day in each other's arms.

When Uryu woke up, he couldn't move. He reached for the redhead sleepily, but he wasn't there. He had forgotten about his plan about interrogating him about those calls in the middle of the night, and yes, the times he went home so late. But his partner wasn't there. Finally, when he found the strength to get up, he found a note from Ichigo to meet him somewhere.

The Quincy was pissed, and he threw away the letter. He tried calling Ichigo, but the redhead wouldn't answer his phone. So furious, he dug up the letter again and went to the appointed location. It was an old canteen where they first met as classmates, Uryu was on his way home, and Ichigo coaxed him to join him for a snack. It was officially their very first date.

Why would Ichigo want to meet him there? That place was already closed down. He knocked on the door; he was doubtful that anyone would be there, but still, he tried.

"Hello?" he asked, knocking carefully; the door opened. His sixth sense tingled when the door opened to a dark room.

"Ichigo?" he called. He heard a thud, and he ran in, fearing his lover might be in danger.

"Surprise!!" a group of people yelled, and bright lights almost blinded him. The culprit is in the center of the room, holding a giant birthday cake, all smiles. Everyone is there. Even Byakuya and all the other captains are there.

"Happy Birthday, Uryu!" they all shouted.

Uryu was caught by surprise. So this is all the hiding and secret rendezvous was all about; he was touched. Yes, he was. Ichigo did all of this for him.

But Uryu was still pissed, and everyone was drunk; Kenpachi is bellowing to his heart's content while holding the microphone singing to some pop song. Everyone is singing along with him, everyone is happy.

Ichigo walked up to him, and he was sitting in the corner watching everything.

"What are you doing over here, babe?" he asked, a little disappointed that he didn't get the reaction he wanted from Quincy.

"Oh, I'm still a little sore from all the acrobatics we did last night, but thank you for this, Ichigo. You caught me by surprise." Uryu said with a smile.

"So these all the secrets were about, the whispering and late nights." Ichigo grinned happily as he nodded.

Uryu leaned closer to him, and Ichigo smiled, he will finally get the kiss that he had been waiting for

But Uryu didn't kiss him, "Ichigo, you have that badge with you, right?" he asked curiously, which means the seal that changes him to a soul reaper. Ichigo nodded and showed it to him.

Uryu took it. "What do you want with it?" he asked, as Quincy took it from him and, without answering, slapped it across his forehead, changing him to a soul reaper.

"Why did you do that for?" Ichigo asked, surprised.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the pair. Uryu didn't reply; he took Ichigo by the hand, standing up.

"Could you lend me your zanpaku-to?" Uryu asked his lover.

"Huh?" Ichigo had a dumb look on his face but unsheathed the sword and handed it to his lover, curious what Quincy would do.

Everyone was mesmerized; no one said a single word. Uryu took the big sword with both hands, a little big for his small frame, but he managed to raise it to his head with both hands.

"What are you doing, babe?" Ichigo started to ask worriedly.

"Bankai!!!" Uryu cried and started chopping after the redhead soul reaper, busy running away from him.

Uryu kept shouting, "Bankai!"

Everyone was laughing, "You go, Ishida!" Then, Renji cried, "Chop his balls out!"

"Renji, you bastard! Honey! Stop it! That's not how it is done, and you are not a soul reaper!" he cried, crouching against the tall Kenpachi. Everyone moves away, laughing.

"The brave Kurasaki was running away from a Quincy after beating the Arrancar." The tenth captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, commented.

"After I did the @$#$#@ and the #$%#$#, you didn't tell me about this!" Uryu was furious. Isshin asked Yuzu and Karin to cover their ears, and everyone gasped in surprise.

"You go, Uryu!" Orihime cried. The men chuckle as they watch Quincy's mild manner running after Ichigo with his zanpaku-to, screaming Bankai and other explicit details on how they spent their nights behind closed doors.

In the end, Renji secretly tells Ishida that he will teach him how to develop and use Bankai for his next battle with Ichigo. In bed.

"Rippppppโ€ฆ." That was the sound of a paper tearing that caught Keigo's attention. He got up from his stupor and almost burned himself when he was trying to put away his cigarette and rushing to catch the culprit, who was tearing a page of a book.

At first, he didn't think it was him. Since he looked distinguish, he was not the type who would vandalize anything. He saw some kids hanging around, on the lookout for the owner, which they didn't realize was this tough-looking guy who didn't look like he would run a place like this.

"Hurry up." One whispered in a panicked hushed tone.

Of course, Keigo was quick enough to escort those boys out of his place and warned them if they ever came back, he would indeed report them from playing hooky.

Keigo runs a used book store when he is on his days off. It fills the time, and he gets to read on the side. He was distracted again by the sound of another paper tearing. He thought at first that those kids had come back only to realize it was the same man he had ignored earlier. He whirled around to catch him tearing another page from a book.

When Keigo caught the man, he wasn't given a logical reason, and it is just that he needed to find a specific page, that is, page 198 of all the books in this particular store. Keigo tried to be patient with the man as the man told him why he needed to find that specific page on all the books in his store. His wife left him a message encrypted in a particular book, and why page 198? In most books, it was the last page. His wife frequents this particular bookstore because she likes used books. And instead of buying all the books, the man said, the only logical reason for him to do is to tear up just the last page of every book so that maybe he can review them later to find out his wife's message to him.

"I don't care what your reason is, but you cannot do that to books. Don't you realize that's vandalism? Even though most of these books are used, most of them are rare and out of print." He explained and took one and showed it to him, "Take this one, for example; this was the last print; the printer had stopped printing this edition since 1936. This is priceless, and this is also expensive." He added and sighed in disgust when he discovered that the man had already vandalized ten of his books.

In the end, the man offered that he would pay for those books. But he still doesn't know how to resolve his dilemma. Keigo, on the other hand, having gotten paid for the books, decided to give the man a solution to his problem, "You know, I also got a copying machine here in the store, instead of buying or tearing those pages, why not I help you photocopy the last pages of the books, it would be costly but, much cheaper than buying the book itself. So what do you think?" he suggested.

Can you do that?" the man asked; hopefully, relief crossed his face.

"Of course, I own this place, and I know how many books I got, and I have some time off; I will help you." Keigo offered; he was relieved to see that the man's troubled face finally eased. He doesn't look like a bad person, but yes, he seems desperate.

Keigo discovered that the man's name is Shotaro Kamui; he used to work for a symphony; it was only recently, when he and his wife separated, that he decided to do this quest independently.

It had taken them longer than Keigo had expected; in the end, they never found that particular page. However, Shotaro did buy twenty books from him, he said, he thinks that one of them must be the one since he knew what specific genre his wife reads. He delivered it to Sho's place of work and found him in the middle of practice, and it was only then he discovered that he was a conductor. He waited for him to get done, overhearing some of the students talking about the man that it was sad, his wife had died in an accident. When he asked them questions, he discovered that it was some years ago and that it was only recently that Shotaro had come back from the hospital; they said his wife was a cellist. They looked so loving together that it must have devastated the professor when his wife died; furthermore, they added that Sho had been diagnosed with temporary post-traumatic memory loss. Some even said that he couldn't cope with not accepting that his wife had died.

Keigo wouldn't call themselves friends, but somehow, he felt that Shotaro was at that particular place because they were bound to meet. And he was bound to help him. Ever since that accident, he wouldn't answer his name because it was the last thing Elena called Shotaro. So he decided to lose his name, his past, his identity. He threw away everythingโ€”even himself.

In the end, he felt he hadn't helped at all. But, despite him not charging for the extra effort, he did for him to finally find the book Sho was looking for, only to realize it wasn't really what his friend had lost.

"Come with me. I got something to show you." But, he said, when they met up for coffee, he looked different now somehow their journey of trying to find that elusive page had somehow changed Shotaro; he can't say that he found closure, so he wanted to give him this before they part ways.

They walked the long road leading to an old shrine, and there stood a statue, known as the goddess of mercy. Although Sho had asked him why he had brought him there, Keigo smiled. "I think it's about time you finally found the name you have lost," he said and put a hand on his shoulder.

Sho asked what are the wooden plaque that was lined in one corner of the room, "Those who are absolved of pain and suffering are now enshrined in a beautiful and peaceful place." He said and pushed him towards it, "Go on, I think you will find what you are looking for there." He said, nudging him towards the plaques.

Keigo told him that most of the plaques and names are enshrined here, not to be forgotten. He watched him, his shoulders slumped, like he was tired; he had been carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders. He wanted to help him with that burden somehow; they were destined to meet like he told Shotaro.

When Shotaro walked closer to the rows of plaque, a recently added plaque caught his eye because there was a picture of him and Elena on it, and it reads:

"โ€ฆโ€ฆ.Love in the pastโ€ฆ.Shotaro's wish that forever with Elena never changes. Because it remains in Shotaro Kamui's heart foreverโ€ฆ."

He saw his shoulders hunched over as he started sobbing. He finally found the one thing he was looking for. And for Keigo, his job is done.

"Maybe you might not meet her now since it takes 160,000 light-years to travel from one dead star to this star. So you have to wait a bit longer, but you will get to meet her star one day. Please don't be so hard on yourself, and it's in the past. It's easy enough to abandon your history and live, though only the lonely are granted this form of emptiness called freedom." Keigo said.

For as long as Sho can remember since he had decided to leave his person somewhere. He had been trying to pick up the pieces of his past. But all he gathered are of a person who is not him or a him that he didn't recognize. He didn't know where he would go on from here. But he knew he's got to keep on moving. But if he continues living here, there might be a chance he will come across the person he once was. He thinks he might have accidentally dropped the me that he knew somewhere, or perhaps lost it, or left it with Elena deliberately.

Shotaro just knew that one day, he woke up in the garbage dump he called his life, looking like something someone had dumped because it had no use anymore. So he decided to discard everything and find this page, this past that he craved to have, which is the only thing left of Elena he has.

Then he came to this place, a place he knew that Elena loved. She was surrounded by things she loved. And for the last moment, he thought that he could be able to cling to one last shred of his wife, who was taken abruptly before he was even ready to let her go. But Keigo helped him.

Destiny is what we makeโ€ฆ So I have decided to make you mine.
