i love masaya’s smile so so much, i know he hates how it looks but i think it’s very very precious, brings me a lot of comfort seeing him smiling and happy ∩^ω^∩
The cherry blossoms have fluttered away once again this year. Even the promise we made that day has become a distant memory. There are packs of men who spend their lives speaking ill of others, and packs of women who do the same. The dreams I have continued to wish for, and the brighter future I once believed in, have somehow begun to fade behind a veil of haze. No matter how tightly I embraced every person within my reach, no matter how fiercely I cherished them, my love never reached them, and one by one, they drifted away. I learned that kindness alone cannot save anyone. When I exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke, it seemed to dissolve into the night sky. Afterward, I found myself staring at the cigarette butt I had just finished. On nights when the rain falls, I can feel a faint fever beneath my skin. And for a moment, it felt as though the nostalgic scent of my childhood home was rising from my body. Even while resigning myself to the fact that everything will disappear someday, I still find myself believing that love exists, that eternity exists. But even those beliefs have begun to tremble within my heart. I thought I loved everyone who was within my reach. And yet, every bond I had slowly fell apart. That was when I learned that the ruler of justice I carried inside myself was not enough to protect anything at all. When I exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke, it seemed to dissolve into the night sky. Afterward, I found myself staring at the cigarette butt I had just finished. The cherry blossoms have fluttered away once again this year. Watching them drift to the ground, they seemed foolish to me. Ah… They seemed so foolish.
