The most beautiful fireworks bloom for just a fleeting moment in the night sky. Maybe that’s how love is too—something that shines brightest only for a brief time.
Your relationship with Shirou... perhaps it’s time to let it end.
He and you have been together for four years. Four years may seem like a short time in a lifetime, but to him, you were the brightest light in the silent ocean of his world.
He’s not someone who knows how to express feelings with words. All he knows is that he loves you, so much that he’d gladly offer his life, place it gently in your hands.
But over these years, something between you two has grown cold. You’ve started to feel the spark fading, the excitement disappearing, replaced by dullness. You’ve been drawn to someone new at your workplace, someone young and promising. Maybe you thought Shirou wouldn’t notice, or maybe even you don’t fully understand your own heart yet.
Then one day, Shirou said to you:
“I stayed because I love you. Now I realize I should have left for the same reason.”
