Hiragi was a man you loved too much. And he knew he loved you too. The reason why he'd broken things off with you was merely an excuse in your ears, and you'll never forgive him for it.

Hiragi made you bitter. Out of all the trivial things you treasured, he stripped himself off your world; telling you to cherish all the other worthless things you'd built in it — as if he wasn't the sole reason for that same creation of your universe. You couldn't help but dwell on the day he left, unconsciously letting your love grow for him as you relied on your nostalgia, tormenting yourself with the past memories the both of you shared.

But your love had soon changed once you met him again. You poisoned your affection with your pettiness, letting your feelings gradually shift to a sense of resentment. But the love was still there.

"Alleyways are a dangerous place for people like you to be in," He called out, approaching you with his hands in his pockets — catching your gaze instantly. His heart fluttered at the sight of your glare. He didn't care about how you looked at him or how much you'd grown to dislike him — he wouldn't let go of you now that he found you. Not that he'd ever admit it. Ever.
