    Summary

    And then, out of nowhere, he thought of the piano. He used to love the instrument, its pure sound and its incredible versatility. It used to be a corresponded relationship, each drop of love poured into the music given back tenfold, until the produce of his hard work had grown to be too much, too high of a standard for him to reach, and his love soured, turning into blind terror, and later on, vicious resentment. He had began to hate Harumichi for putting him through grueling practice, and by proxy, he had began to hate the piano, hate its vast range of emotion he couldn’t emulate for how hard he tried, hate everything that tied him to the endless expectations.

    Had he ever truly hated the piano?

    Or,
    Touya Aoyagi, son of a prestigious classical musician, has always loved music from the bottom of his heart. Unfortunately, with each song played on the piano, his love seems to wilt to the point where he wants nothing more than to run away from this world of music. Little does he know, this escape of his will lead him on a long, beautiful journey, accompanied by three talented and loving musicians, where he will become brave enough to love music all over again.

    Summary

    “Where are you?” she murmured, sinuses burning, throat tightening to the point of making her unable to breathe. “Where are you?”

    How could this be possible? How could her best friends have disappeared overnight? It was impossible, it was, it had to, everyone was pulling a giant prank on her, what other explanation could there be?

    … An didn’t want to live in a world where her best friends didn’t exist. Oh, how could she? She might have known a world without them, once, might have known happiness without them, but with how her life had developed, how could she ever dream of giving them up? She didn’t want to be left behind, she didn’t want to be abandoned and forgotten.

    Or,
    An suddenly finds herself in a world where seemingly everyone has forgotten about her teammates and lovers, but this can't be possible, right? It can't be, because if it were, a life without her beloved friends would be a nightmare.

    Summary

    Because, that was all he had been waiting to hear, wasn’t it? He was lovable, he was wanted, perhaps even needed. Perhaps he had a place in the world and he wouldn’t have to feel like a dead weight and a waste of space anytime he silently put a bottle of wine in the fridge for Akito’s new lover or gave him his opinion on the person he was currently seeing or every time emotions bubbled up in his soul and he thought of them as illegitimate, unjustified, inexcusable.

    After all, Akito was a master connoisseur of love, much more partial to the taste of stolen kisses than the acrid taste of bloodied wine on his delectable lips, who better than him could judge what was worth of being cared for and what not? And Touya longed, he wanted to scream with the overpowering yearning for his love stained lips on his own dry and starved ones, their ridicule distance making his head spin faster and faster and faster, Akito is not yours.

    Or,
    during the party for a friend's engagement, Akito drinks a little too much: and what kind of friend would Touya be if he didn't take care of him? He will have to just put his feelings for his best friend aside for the night, hoping that he won't ruin anything. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    And somehow, Kohane knew she was shattering. She knew she was breaking into pieces, thirteen years of pressure and that ugly, horrible feeling of not belonging choking and scalding her finally having the best of her. She laid there, shaking, an unraveled mess of social anxiety and awkwardness, and for once in her life she felt colorful. Red with shame, livid with the pain that thrummed through her entire body, but even so, it was merely a filter: she was still transparent, only her and herself privy to her pathetic breakdown, a star exploding into a myriad of scorching atoms. Did she not deserve to be loved like everyone else?

    Or,
    Kohane has always been lonely, drifting through life as she struggles to find people who truly love her, thinking of herself as a boring show of grays, black and whites. That is, until three young musicians barge into her life and paint it in a beautiful spectacle, determined to teach her what love feels like...

    Summary

    Because she didn’t follow the other girl’s line of sight, so enraptured by her beauty, An explained: “it’s snowing. It’s like the world is holding its breath”.

    Kohane was holding her breath, indeed, for An’s cheekbones were reddened just so, like ripe strawberries, dotted by freckles, and her lips looked equally as sweet and crimson and delectable.

    An finally turned to her and smiled so vastly that Kohane’s own cheeks hurt at the mere sight. “Let’s go out and dance in the snow, babe,” she proposed.

    Or,
    Kohane and An savor a cozy day together decorating for Christmas and preparing lunch together. Under the snowflakes, dancing together like the teenagers in love they are, An reveals to Kohane her fears.

    Summary

    She could see the golden light seeping through the window across her lowered eyelids, the thin tissue of flesh bathed in orange and ran by her red capillaries. If she looked for it hard enough, she could still see the moon and the knight from her dream in the corners of her eyes: that knight! That stupidly pretty knight! God, fuck, An’s brain halted, had she seriously dreamt of Akito as a fucking knight of a kingdom? No, not any kingdom, it was her kingdom, and she-

    Fuck. It was all coming back to her. She had dreamt of being a princess who was in love with Akito. Her best friend and teammate and close confidant. Fuck, An, now you’ve done it.

    Or,
    An has a dream where Akito loves her back. Little does she know, the reality isn't much far from her fantasies.

    Summary

    Akito took a deep breath and continued: “but the thing is, I realized that the moon won’t leave me behind. Not the moon, nor the stars, nor the sky that holds them… They will always be there to guide me, won’t they? I don’t need to follow in someone’s footsteps, I don’t need to trace anyone’s memories. My voice is mine only, my heart is mine only, and no one can replicate it, so I will create something unique, my own kind of tune, and share it with the moon and the stars and spread it in every single corner of the world, so that everyone will know of my passion”.

    Or,
    On the way back home on Akito's twentieth birthday, Touya asks Akito to stargaze with him.

    Summary

    Akito didn't betray a single emotion. He looked empty and disconnected from reality. Ena's heart hammered in her throat at the sight as the dreadful feeling finally fell and clicked in her brain; no, this couldn't be. Not Akito, not her strong and warm brother. No, Ena's mind stammered uselessly, please, no.

    "Ena," he whispered, and his voice was weirdly shaking under the firm, weak tone he decided to use. It was as if he wasn't even trying to hide how tired he felt, something Ena understood way too well. Her hairs stood up painfully on her arms as he breathed in and continued: "Ena, I'm going to kill myself tonight".

    or,
    Akito comes back home, overwhelmed by his own emotions and decides to kill himself. Ena doesn't want to lose her little sunshine brother, so she tries her best to stop him from doing it.

    Summary

    After they had left, An felt hollowed, like a tree stump dried of its lymph and left in the middle of nowhere to wilt and wither, sunlight stolen from it. People rushed past her, striving and reaching for their goals, grasping them and clutching them, cradling them close to their chests as they proudly crowned their dreams, while An, stupid, stubborn An, was left alone, standing still in the middle of the crowd that moved forward without her.

    Birthdays lost all of their magic, now that her family had fallen apart, and she wished she had someone that made her feel as warm as they did.

    Or,
    An used to love her birthdays as a kid, but as each year passed, she found herself more and more alone, abandoned by the people she loved the most. Perhaps she will find someone who will stand by her side, at some point.

    Summary

    “Kamishiro has created a filter,” Akito said, looking at her, “that- well, it basically has a bunch of kiss stamps that appear on the face of the person using it-”

    “You’re shit at explaining,” An huffed. Akito looked at her, indignantly, but she ignored him and picked up the conversation: “it’s a kiss filter! A kiss stamp appears on a person’s face and someone else has to kiss them in that spot”.

    Kohane closed her eyes, hoping to disappear from the face of the Earth.

    Or,
    An and Akito want to try a kiss filter with their teammates, and Kohane is terrified at the idea of kissing Touya.

    Summary

    She quickly typed a response, then stared at the text and deleted it, rewrote it, stressing over her wording, down to the last comma and finally threw her phone on the ground, frustrated and with a racing heart. Why did she care so much about what Touya thought of her replies? They were teammates, best friends, why should she feel judged by him, out of all people? An knew that he was kind, considerate, patient, welcoming like few and probably one of the most understanding of her friends-

    Oh. That’s the problem. He was just a friend.

    Or,
    An realizes that she has a crush on her best friend and teammate Touya, so she tries to understand whether the feeling is mutual or not. His cat, on the other hand, surely hates her.
