Summary
For here he was, standing in front of the gate of his homeplace, but it was not the home he yearned for.
“I thought you two were going to be forever,” was Megumi’s sheltered admission whispered close to his heart, beating itself bloody against the cage of Suguru’s ribs as the boy’s words unfolded a distant memory in the present, a pilgrim from the past wandering through the oceans of time to remind him of its buried existence.
“Because lovers are travellers of eternity,” he had reassured Megumi once, the child half asleep on his chest after a nightmare, soothing murmurs of the tale Suguru had told to console him lingering in the quiet night.
“I am sorry we let you down,” he uttered in the boy’s hair as the memory dissolved in the burdened air, leaving him with a decayed taste of hypocrisy in his mouth.

Summary
Yuuji brought his gaze to the man’s face, shadowed by the pallid fall of moonlight, resembling a statue carved from the most exquisite marble, all-revealing and yet reticent infinitely.
And all of a sudden, a strange longing seemed to seize him, awakening to whisper to his heart, bow down to the envoy of moonlight.
Yuuji had never thought himself a man who could understand beauty.
Until he felt physically the moment breath failed him, an artless strain of his heart against the cage of his ribs, drowned in the timelessness of the moon’s light.
For the splendour of unperceived loveliness had been suddenly bestowed upon him.
And Yuuji understood then.
Beauty was a pair of rosy lips upon the delicate chin of the man before him.

Summary
“I will protect you even if it is the last thing I do.”
When Atsuya thought of his life, he thought of the tale of a coward, as though the two were synonymous with each other, his life and cowardice hand in hand companions.
A swordsman who had abandoned his honour to preserve his body.
A disgraced warrior who had sullied his weapon.
A disciple who had strayed from his master’s teachings.
“You must remember, Atsuya,” his swordmaster had said to him once, in the distant days of boyhood, “A swordsman who trembles under the weight of his sword raised high is better than a swordsman who dies without unsheathing his sword.”

Summary
Fill your eyes with wonder, Suguru.
His mother had always said to him, a sort of incantation that had clung to his heartstrings, returning to him in the moments of daze, accompanying the awed breaths that would tumble past his agape lips.
He had devoted himself to chasing that gentle murmur, spoken to him as he had waded into the world of dreams, but his eyes, no matter how desperate for such a sight, had yet to behold a wonder that would draw his heart to a standstill, a momentary interruption in the steady hum of its beats, falling silent in the presence of something it perceived holy.
At least, until now.
For Suguru was no poet, but as he watched the man on the ice with a caught breath, every graceful twist and turn of his body enchanting, resembling a blue star gone waltzing across the night sky, he thought he might have finally understood what they had meant.

Summary
I dream.
I remember.
I rot.
Coming to Baji’s grave felt like coming home.
An arrival to the only familiar place in the unfamiliar world.
He, a stranger to it.
The world, a stranger to him.
