Read on AO3

In his dreams, the tether slips from his grasp.

He sees a flash of blue, of fear, behind a panic-fogged visor, and hears his own scream echoing in his ears as his world is torn from him, tossed about like a ragdoll by the merciless force of gravity before vanishing, swallowed in bright blue light.

Blue like his eyes, those eyes that had held such terror in those final moments. Those eyes that he will never see again.

In his dreams, he screams and screams and screams and screams, until his agonized wails are reduced to nothing but voiceless whimpers and then, and then-

He wakes, sobbing into his pillow in an empty bed.

Yuuri misses the days when waking from a nightmare brought a sense of relief. When he was able to catch his breath upon waking from whatever horrors his subconscious mind had shown him and realize, it’s not real, it was just a dream, none of it happened, everything is okay.

He misses the days when he didn’t have to calm himself down after nightmares, when there were arms around him the moment he opened his eyes, arms pulling him close, a warm body holding him, the softest voice in his ear reassuring him, telling him he was safe and loved. He misses that most of all.

But those days are over now. There are no arms around him, there is no sense of relief, no escape from the nightmare that plays in his head, over and over every night.

Because it wasn’t just a dream.

Victor is gone, really gone, truly gone, and he can’t wake up from this reality he’s living in, this reality where the man he loves was torn from his grasp, ripped violently out of the known universe, lost to him, probably forever. He can’t escape the pain, the constant dull ache in his chest in the shape of his husband. He can’t tell himself it’s okay, because it’s not, because it will likely never be okay again.

There’s no escape, no denial.

The nightmare he’s living is real, and worst of all… it’s all his fault.

______________

In his dreams, he sees the man with the silver hair.

It isn’t every night. Some nights, his mama tucks him into bed with a kiss and he dreams of other things, like dinosaurs or flying puppies or big scary monsters chasing him. Other nights, he dreams of nothing at all. But the man always comes back eventually.

The man looks strange, but not in a scary way. Just different. Like the people who come to visit the onsen sometimes, the ones his papa calls foreigners. The foreigners are often loud, drinking too much and making demands in broken Japanese, or not bothering to use Japanese at all. Many of them have unpleasant looks about them, causing Yuuri to hide behind his mama’s legs when they come to coo over him.

The silver-haired man is not unpleasant, or loud. When he speaks, his Japanese is perfect, if strangely accented, and his voice is soft and kind. He doesn’t make demands. He only ever talks, asks Yuuri about his day, plays games with him if Yuuri asks.

Yuuri is happy when he dreams about the silver-haired man. But sometimes the man looks so sad. One night, Yuuri is telling him about his first ballet class with Minako-sensei when he notices a single tear slide down his cheek. Yuuri falls silent at the sight; he’s never seen a grown-up cry before.

“What’s wrong?” he asks, and the man looks startled for a moment, his hand flying to his cheek before he even seems to realize he was crying in the first place.

“Oh,” he says, smiling a strange smile as he wipes the tear away. “I’m sorry. I’m fine, Yuuri, really. You were telling me about Minako-san’s studio…?”

Yuuri feels troubled, reminded of Mari when she gets sad but doesn’t want to say why. “My papa always says you should talk about it if you’re sad.”

The man laughs. “Your papa is a wise man.” His smile falls, and he draws his knees into his chest, looking sadder than ever. “I really am fine, Yuuri. I just get a bit lonely sometimes.”

“... Lonely?” Yuuri had never considered that dream-people could be lonely. “Don’t you have a family? Or friends?”

“I do,” the man says quietly. “But they all live very far away, somewhere I can’t see them.”

The man tilts his head down, and Yuuri can no longer see his face behind a curtain of silver fringe. He wishes he could do something to help. His mama gives him hugs when he gets sad, but Yuuri knows from several failed games of tag that you can’t touch dream-people. So instead, he sits down next to the man and gathers up all his courage.

“Then I will be your friend!”

The man looks up, surprised. Bolstered by the temporary absence of sadness in his eyes, Yuuri continues.

“Yuuko-chan is my friend! And Minako-sensei is my friend, even though she’s my teacher now! And she’s even older than you, which means that you can be my friend too!”

To Yuuri’s delight, the man actually laughs, a small, affectionate smile playing across his features.

“So? Can we be friends?”

“Of course we can, Yuuri,” he says. “I’d like that a lot.”

When he wakes the next morning, he realizes he does not know his new friend’s name, or even if dream-people have names. He asks his mama and papa at breakfast, but they just smile and ruffle his hair affectionately. Mari calls him a weirdo and tells him to name his own imaginary friend.

Yuuri thinks it would be quite rude to do that, so he decides to simply wait and ask the man the next time he sees him. For three nights, Yuuri sleeps dreamlessly, but on the fourth, the man appears again, looking far happier than he had before.

Not wanting to forget again, Yuuri makes sure to ask his name as soon as he appears.

“Victor,” the man smiles. “My name is Victor.”

“Victor,” Yuuri repeats, the syllables sounding slightly different on his tongue, but the man keeps smiling anyways, and they spend the rest of the dream talking and playing like they always do.

When Yuuri wakes, he feels happy. His friend does have a name, after all.

“Victor,” he tries again, still half-asleep but content. “Victor.”

______________________

“Victor!” Yuuri screams, sitting bolt upright in bed, tears streaming down his face.

His hand is still outstretched, as it had been in the dream, as it had been the day he lost him. He can still feel Victor’s tether in his grip like a phantom pain, feel it slipping out of his grasp, feel his utter helplessness in the face of the Aurora’s pull.

If he’d only been stronger, if he’d only held on for a few more seconds, they could have saved him. Mere seconds after Yuuri’s grip had faltered, the Aria’s engines had come back online, pushing them back out of the Aurora’s gravitational field.

Just a few seconds longer, and they could have pulled him back to safety. Just a few seconds longer, and Victor would still be here with him. But he’d failed. The tether had slipped away, and Victor with it, lost to the void, possibly forever.

Just a few seconds longer.

Yuuri lets his outstretched hand drop down to the mattress, buries his head in his knees, and cries.

“Victor,” he sobs, curling up as if making himself smaller will ease the terrible ache of guilt in his chest. “Victor, I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”

For a long while, the only sound to be heard in the bedroom is Yuuri’s weeping, interspersed every so often with sobbed-out apologies to a man who can no longer hear them. Then, there is a creak, and the familiar tingling of tags, before something cold and wet touches the inside of Yuuri’s elbow.

He sits up and sniffles, blinking his tears away to see two pairs of big brown eyes looking up at him. Makkachin stands on her hind legs, front paws resting against Yuuri’s side of the mattress, whining softly as she nudges him again.

“Hey, girl,” Yuuri murmurs, giving her a quick pat on the head. “It’s okay, you can come up.”

She does so immediately, hopping up onto the bed and immediately curling up on Victor’s- on the empty side.

“You too,” Yuuri says to the smaller dog, still on the floor. His front paws rest against the base of the bed, and he whines in frustration, too small to hop up on his own.

Yuuri bends down to pick him up, cradling his tiny, fluffy form close to his chest. “Morning, Vicchan,” he tells the little poodle, his voice shaking only slightly.

He gives the dog a kiss on the forehead, and in turn, Vicchan stretches up as far as he can to lick some of the tears off Yuuri’s cheeks. Yuuri lets out a giggle that sounds just a little too close to a sob as he hugs his dog.

He isn’t the Victor Yuuri needs right now, to kiss away his tears and reassure him that everything will be alright, but he’ll do.

______________________

Yuuri is so excited the night of his thirteenth birthday that he doesn’t think he’ll be able to sleep. A soft snoring from across the room emanates from the dog bed his parents had put in, and the sound is so cute he’s half-tempted to get out of bed and cuddle the tiny creature within to kingdom come, but he forces himself to stay put.

The puppy needs his sleep, after all, and so does Yuuri. There’s someone important he needs to share his good news with.

It takes him a while to calm himself enough to properly drift off, but soon enough his eyes slip shut and he finds himself in a familiar place.

His dreams always begin here, in an empty white space, surrounded by a dense fog. He takes a step forward, then another, then another. It never seems to matter which direction he goes; as long as he keeps walking, he always manages to find what - or rather, who - he’s looking for.

Tonight, it only takes a little bit of searching before a familiar shape becomes visible through the fog. A smile spreads across Yuuri’s face and he picks up the pace, jogging the final few steps between him and his friend.

“Victor! Victor, guess what!”

As soon as Victor comes into view, the smile falls from Yuuri’s face. It’s a bad day. Victor is huddled on the floor, staring dead-eyed into the whiteness that surrounds him.

This isn’t the first time Yuuri has found him like this. It isn’t a common occurrence, but every so often the Victor who Yuuri encounters in his dreams isn’t his usual chipper self. He seems distant, sad, afraid, any number of things before he notices Yuuri’s presence, only to immediately snap out of it when he realizes he’s not alone.

Today is no exception. As soon as he catches sight of Yuuri, the empty look leaves his eyes to be replaced by a brilliant, heart-shaped smile.

“Yuuri!”  He uncurls from his position on the floor, stands, and waves as Yuuri approaches. Despite his smile, Yuuri can just make out a flicker of something terribly sad in those bright blue eyes.

“Are you okay?” he asks, slowing down as he approaches.

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Victor insists, as he always does when Yuuri plucks up the courage to ask. “Now, what was it you wanted to tell me?”

Yuuri’s concern for his friend vanishes in a moment, eclipsed by his excitement. “My parents got me a puppy!”

His smile brightens, seeming more genuine now. “Oh, Yuuri, that’s wonderful! Happy birthday!”

Yuuri feels his brow furrow. “How did you know it was my-”

“So, tell me all about it!” Victor plows over his question in a burst of exuberance, sitting down cross-legged on the floor and patting the ground for Yuuri to sit, too. “What’s its name? What breed is it?”

“He’s… he’s a miniature poodle.” Yuuri says, feeling his cheeks flush preemptively to his next words. “I named him, uh… well, I named him Victor. After you.”

The heat in his cheeks spreads to his whole face as soon as the words leave his lips, and he looks at the white floor beneath them. God, what an embarrassing thing to say! It’s the truth, of course, but still, what on earth had possessed him to admit it right to Victor’s face?

Mari had been the first to make the connection when Yuuri had announced the puppy’s name at breakfast the day before.

“Victor?” she’d asked, not unkindly. “Wasn’t that the name of your imaginary friend when you were little?”

He had learned long ago that dream-people were not a normal occurrence, that not everyone had a stranger who spoke to them in their sleep on a regular basis. He had also learned that repeatedly talking about dream-people seemed to lead those around him to believe he had an overactive imagination, or worse.

So, Yuuri had feigned ignorance. “What imaginary friend?” he had scoffed. “I just like the name, is all.”

Mari had raised her eyebrows, but had otherwise kept her skepticism to herself - to Yuuri’s immense relief- and the subject had been dropped as Vicchan the poodle rolled adorably on his back to beg for belly rubs.

The thought strikes Yuuri now that he really should have said the same to Victor. Claimed that he just liked the name, or that that was the name the shelter had given him already, or just made up a different name to tell Victor entirely. Any of that would be less embarrassing than admitting he’d named his dog after the man!

He’s still flushed red and looking determinedly at the floor, willing himself to wake up so that he can get out of this awkward situation, when Victor finally speaks.

“After me, huh?” This is not the response Yuuri had been expecting, prompting him to finally remove his gaze from the floor and back to the man sitting across from him. His eyes are distant again, something strange flickering behind them. It’s not sadness like it was before, it’s… something else. Curiosity, perhaps? Suspicion? “I’d always assumed it was a coincidence…”

Before Yuuri can ask what he means by that, Victor snaps out of whatever stupor he had been in, that same wide smile on his face. “Sorry, Yuuri! I don’t know what came over me, there.”

“What do you mean by-?”

“Nothing, nothing,” he insists, waving a hand in the air dismissively. “Just me being silly. Victor is an excellent name for a poodle, Yuuri. Does he know any tricks yet?”

Yuuri can’t help but feel like there’s something Victor isn’t telling him, but he’s too excited to talk about his new puppy to pursue it any further. Instead, he spends the rest of the night telling Victor about every facet of his new puppy’s existence, from the early struggles of housetraining to all the tricks he wants his Vicchan to learn.

Victor seems only too content to talk about dogs, his face growing sad only when he peppers in anecdotes about training his own dog, Makkachin. But as the morning approaches, and Yuuri starts to feel the telltale tug of wakefulness pulling at him, Victor grows serious again.  

“Yuuri,” he begins with uncertainty, face half-hidden behind his bangs. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“You said you named your new puppy after me” Yuuri nods, flushing again involuntarily. But his embarrassment is cut short by what Victor asks next. “Does that mean… do you remember this, when you wake up? Remember me?”

“Yeah.”

“…Oh.”

The look on Victor’s face is as raw as it is inscrutable. The mist is filling his vision again, but Yuuri tries to read him anyways. Is he angry? Disappointed? Shocked? Before he has time to figure it out, Victor is completely shrouded in grey once more.

Yuuri can hear something distantly, the faint beep of his alarm clock pulling him back to the real world. It nearly drowns out the last words Victor says before he wakes.

“...Why didn’t you stop me?”

Forrest / f!Kana Supports - Localization vs Original Japanese

Pre-3DS FE Translations - FE Awakening Translations - FE Fates Translations - FE Novel Translations - Original FE Support Conversations- Ko-fi

This post explains the differences in the localization and the Japanese of Forrest and f!Kana C, B, and A supports.

I won’t be addressing the S support here, as I’ll consider that part of my project to translate all of Kana’s S supports, so people can see how they went when they were romantic and not platonic. I’ll translate the S support this week while I am on the topic of Kana, but as part of that project.

Overall, there’s lots of little changes, but nothing character altering for Forrest.

C Support

This is a “we’re here for one character, but the other one got changed” situation. Forrest is translated the same, but Kana’s lines were changed in a lot of little ways.

From the start, in the Japanese, she just said she’s lonely, not that her parents are always busy.

Localization

Kana: *sniffle* Where are they all the time? They're always busy... *sniff, sniffle* Papa...Mama...

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

ぐすっ…▼ (sniff...) さみしいよう… (I’m lonely...） お父さん…お母さん… (Father... Mother...”

And in the Japanese, she actually tells Forrest to leave, instead of him saying he’ll leave when she claims she’s okay.

Localization:

Kana: Nothing. I'm all right. Don't worry.

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

フォレオ！？▼ (Forrest!?) べ、別になんでもない。(I-It’s nothing, really.) 大丈夫だから、あっち行っててよ…▼ (I’m okay, so go away...)

In the Japanese, she said to stay quiet about her crying so she doesn’t worry anyone. 

Localization:

Kana: Don't tell anyone you saw me crying. Please, Forrest. Promise me.

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

あたしが泣いてたの… (About me crying...) みんなには黙っててね。▼ (Don’t tell anyone, okay?) 心配…かけたくないから…▼ (Because I don’t want to... worry them...)

Which prompts Forrest to tell her he would also cry so that he would not worry his parents.

Localization:

Forrest: I used to cry now and then too, growing up in the Deeprealms. I'd hide away somewhere no one could find me and cry my eyes out.

Japanese:

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

僕も両親に心配させたくなくて���(I also didn’t want to make my parents worry,) 一人で隠れて泣いたことがありますから。▼ (so I would hide and cry by myself.)

And this line of Forrest’s was changed too...

Localization:

Forrest: I did. Sometimes that's what a good cry requires. But other times it's important to talk to a friend. So seek me out anytime you need to talk out your tears, all right?

Japanese:

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

でも、あまり無理はしないでくださいね？(But please don’t push yourself too much, okay?) 僕でよければいつでも話を聞きますから。▼ (You can come talk to me anytime. That’s fine with me.)

All little changes, but lots of them.

B Support

Again, the localization added more speech for Kana while she was crying.

Localization:

Kana: *sniffle* Why did I come here? They never have any time for me! Papa...Mama... *sniff, sniffle

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

ぐすっ… (sniff...) お父さん…お母さん…▼ (Father... Mother...)

This bit was changed up quite a bit in the localization. The biggest difference is that Forrest comes up with a lie, saying that he wants her to do more delicate work. But in the Japanese, he simply says “don’t worry about the reason” and tells her later in the conversation.

Localization:

Forrest: Hello, Kana. I don't mean to intrude. But I need some help. Kana: Fr-from me? Forrest: I think you're the only one I know who can help me with this! I'm embroidering a tapestry. My hands are too big to do the most delicate work. Kana: But I don't know a thing about sewing. Forrest: I'll teach you a basic stitch. You'll be perfect at it. Kana: You really think so? Forrest: No doubt. You'll be the best for this. Ready to learn the stitch?

Japanese:

[フォレオ]

カンナ。(Kana.) ここにいたんですね。▼ (This is where you were.) よかったです。(Good!) いっぱい探しちゃいましたよ。▼ (I’ve been looking all over for you.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

フォレオ… (Forrest...) どうしてあたしを探してたの？▼ (Why were you looking for me?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

実は、お洋服を作るのを (Honestly, I was wondering 手伝っていただけないかなと思って。▼ (if you would help me make some western-style clothes.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

あたし、お洋服なんて作れないよ？▼ (But I can’t make clothes?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

うふふ。(Ufu fu.) 大丈夫ですよ。▼ (That’s fine.) 簡単な刺繍を縫ってもらうだけですから。▼ (Because you’ll only be sewing simple embroidery.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

それなら別にいいけど… (I’m okay with that, but...) でも、なんであたしを誘うの？▼ (But why ask me?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

うふふ。(Ufu fu.) そんなことはいいじゃないですか。▼ (Don’t worry about that.) さ、二人で可愛いお洋服を作りましょう。▼ (Alright, let’s make some cute clothes together!)

Forrest’s story of his past has a lot more detail in the localization.

Localization:

Forrest: Sorrow is the wellspring of art, Kana. Let me share a secret with you. When I was young, I missed my parents terribly. I cried and cried. For years, it seemed. One day I found a needle and thread. I began sewing. Every tear, a stitch. Soon I had a beautifully sewn line. I had also stopped crying. Was it a distraction? Perhaps. But I like to think I turned my tears into stitches. And so, sewing became my constant companion.

Japanese:

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

僕が小さかった頃の話なんですけどね…▼ (This is a story of when I was young, but...) 両親がいなくてさみしいときは、(When my parents were gone and I was lonely,) こうやってお洋服を作っていたんです。▼ (I would make clothes like this.) 好きなことに集中していると…▼ (When I focused on something I liked...) さみしい気持ちを (I was able to forget) 忘れることができましたからね。▼ (my sad feelings.)

Again, lots of little changes.

A Support

In the Japanese, Kana was actually the one to bring up embroidery...

Localization:

Forrest: Hello, Kana. Ready to help me with more embroidery? Kana: Yes! I can't wait to get started. Forrest: I'll teach you a new technique today. Ready? Kana: Let's get sewing!

Japanese:

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

カンナ。(Kana.) 今日は元気いっぱいですね。▼ (You’re full of energy today, aren’t you?)

[カンナ] (Kana)

うん！▼ (Yeah!) あたし、今日もフォレオと一緒に (I want to make) 洋服を作りたいんだけど…▼ more clothes with you, but...) いい？▼ (Is that okay?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

もちろんです。(Of course. 一緒に作りましょう。▼ (Let’s make some together.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

やったー！(Yay!) ありがとう、フォレオ！▼(Thanks, Forrest!)

Kana makes no reference to a specific type of stitch in the Japanese.

Localization:

Kana: The chain stitch isn't nearly as hard as I thought. Forrest: Well, it's exactly as hard as it looks. You're just a natural, Kana.

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

えっと…裏返しにして… (Um... turn it inside out...) ここに糸を通せばいいんだよね？▼ (I should pass the thread through here, right?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

完璧です。 (Perfect.) カンナは飲み込みが早いですね。▼ (You’re absorbing this fast, aren’t you?)

And Forrest doesn’t go so far as to say that she’ll be inventing new stitches.

Localization:

Kana: You're a good teacher. Forrest: I'm lucky to have such a good student. You'll be inventing your own stitches soon.

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

えへへ。(Tee hee.) フォレオの教え方が上手なんだよ。▼ (You’re good at teaching!)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

うふふ。(Ufu fu. そんなことありませんよ。▼ (Not at all.)

The second half is pretty different! Most noticeably, they never discuss starting a large project, mostly just discussing being there for each other.

Also note that, throughout these 3 supports, Forrest said a few times that it’s okay to cry, whereas he didn’t say that explicitly in the Japanese.

Localization:

Kana: I think I'm done crying over Mama and Papa having so little time for me. Forrest: There's nothing wrong with a good weep now and then. But if you're glad to be done crying, then I'm glad too. Kana: I'm not so lonely anymore, I mean, now that you've taken me under your wing. I never knew I could embroider. Forrest: I'm happy to have someone to work with me on these projects. Maybe we'll start sewing a bigger project soon. Wouldn't that be fun? Kana: Yes, yes, yes! Forrest: Ha! Then I will take that as a yes. Kana: You've been so nice to me, Forrest. Forrest: Nonsense. I needed a sewing partner. I'm delighted to have found one. Kana: Hee hee! OK, Forrest. Forrest: I bet you'll be teaching me stitches soon enough, good friend. Kana: Maybe I will!

Japanese:

[カンナ] (Kana)

あたしね…(I...) もうさみしいからって泣いたりしないよ。▼(I’m not lonely anymore, so I don’t cry, or anything like that.)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

カンナ…▼ (Kana...)

[カンナ] (Kana)

だって、あたしには… (Because, I...) フォレオがいるから。▼ (have you.) さみしくて泣いてたあたしに、(You reached out to me,) フォレオは声をかけてくれた。▼ (who was lonely and crying.) それだけじゃなくて、(Not only that,) 一緒に洋服を作ろうって誘ってくれた。▼ (but you also asked me to make clothes with you.) だからもう、さみしくなんかない。(So now, I’m not sad anymore, or anything like that.) あたしには優しい仲間がついてるんだもん。▼ (I’m lucky to have a nice friend.)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

そうですね。(That’s right.) 僕はいつでもカンナの側にいますよ。▼ (I’ll come to your side whenever.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

フォレオ。(Forrest) ほんとにありがとう。▼ (Thanks. I mean it!)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

うふふ。(Ufu fu.) お礼なんていりませんよ。▼ (You don’t have to thank me.) 僕もカンナと一緒にいると楽しいですからね。▼(Because I enjoy being with you, too.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

これからも… (From now on...) さみしくなっちゃったときはさ、▼ (Whenever I get lonely,) また、こうやって… (Can I...) フォレオと一緒にいてもいいかな？▼ (be with you like this again?)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

はい。(Yes.) もちろんですよ。▼ (Of course!)

[カンナ] (Kana

えへへ。(Tee hee.) フォレオがいてくれてよかった。▼ (I’m so happy to have you.)

[フォレオ] (Forrest)

これからもよろしくお願いしますね。(Let’s continue to be great friends.) カンナ。▼ (Kana.)

[カンナ] (Kana)

うん！(Yeah!) これからもよろしくね！▼ (Let’s!)

That’s all for Forrest / f!Kana!

Next will be Forrest / Sophie.

999: Alterna (1) - Part 3, Chapters 8-9

Table of Contents | Previous: Part 3, Chapters 6-7

Chapter 8

I doubted my ears.

“No way.” Despair assaulted me from within. The theory I had so confidently crafted crumbled beneath me.

“But Junpei, your reasoning isn’t wrong,” Lotus added.

Unable to understand what she meant, I tilted my head. “...What do you mean?”

“My daughter was a Stage 3 patient of the disease.” Lotus stared emptily into space. She had a somber expression on her face. “She caught it nine years ago, just like June and that incompetent imp over there. ...If she’s alive, she would be about your age.”

“...Did she die?”

Lotus nodded, her gaze still empty. “Probably...”

“Probably?”

“She vanished. Right after she recovered from the disease.”

“Huh?”

What did this mean? I thought that her daughter had died from Angel Fever, but I realized now that that wasn’t the case.

“Do you remember the string of child disappearances in the city nine years ago?”

After Lotus mentioned it, the memories of the case popped into my head. “Sixteen boys and girls suddenly went missing one night, right?”

All of them unexpectedly returned two days later, so the case didn’t make a large splash in the media. But since the kids who disappeared were around my age, it left quite an impression on me.

I continued, “When questioned, every single one of them claimed that they were captured by aliens or something.”

Because all of the kids came back unharmed, the police investigation ended without reaching a proper conclusion. It’s likely that the truth is still shrouded in darkness to this day.

“All of them were unharmed? No, that’s a blatant lie.” Lotus pursed her lips, and a look of anguish spread across her face. “My daughter disappeared that same day. But she never returned home.”

Lotus choked up before she could finish her last sentence.

“Did you speak with the police?”

“Of course! But they wouldn’t listen to me at all. I suspect it was because I worked in the nighttime entertainment business, and was a divorced single mother living with her only daughter. They kept telling me without mincing words, ‘Aren’t you the reason she disappeared?’”

Her eyes overflowed with tears, which soon began streaming down her face.

“She wouldn’t disappear of her own volition. She was a good girl. There’s no way she would run away and abandon me. I decided I couldn’t rely on the police, so I hired a detective to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of my daughter, and to look into the other 16 kids who had disappeared the same day. I thought there would definitely be some kind of connection.”

“Did you figure anything out?”

“The other kids had all been patients at the same hospital at some point. My daughter wasn’t any different. She was hospitalized there when she caught Angel Fever.”

“What?!”

“After looking into it even further, I discovered all of the kids had Angel Fever. Not just that, but they all reached Stage 3.”

I couldn’t help but feel astonished. “None of that was reported in the news. Did nobody realize?”

“It didn’t take much effort to find out. I don’t think the media was ignorant of the fact. I think there was a gag order in effect. There must have been some powerful forces at play. I wonder if that’s also why the police investigation was cut short.” Lotus continued her confession, letting out the sediment that had collected in her heart over all these years. “After she disappeared... I lost my will to live.”

After saying those words, Lotus started rubbing her right wrist. I hadn’t noticed before due to her many accessories, but she had an array of scars left behind from cutting her wrist.

“...I just wanted to feel at peace. But every time, I failed. When I would get carried to the hospital, the doctor would always say ‘You again?’ with a sigh. I’m clumsy with everything, so I wouldn’t end up dying no matter how many times I tried... Then I met a girl at the hospital. She looked like my daughter... She was quite a strange girl.”

Lotus said that she couldn’t fall asleep, so she snuck out of her hospital room and went to go take a walk in the garden. That was when she saw the girl. The girl was around high school age, and she was crouching under a large ginkgo tree, weeping.

“What’s wrong?” Lotus walked up next to the girl and asked.

The girl looked away and repeatedly said, “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to disappear from this world.”

“Since the hospital housed many patients with terminal cancer, I thought she was one of them. She was the complete opposite of me. I only thought about how much I wanted to die and disappear, but she seemed completely devoted to the idea of surviving to the bitter end. If it were possible, I would have traded my life for hers. She taught me about the feeling of joy that comes from waking up every morning and realizing you’re still alive. About how she only then realized how happy it was to have a healthy body. That moment was a truly enlightening experience. It was then that I made up my mind. I knew my daughter probably didn’t exist in this world anymore. But I couldn’t keep crying over it. I had to continue living, living the life that my daughter couldn’t.”

Lotus wiped the tears off her cheek with the back of her hand, and after catching her breath, she started smiling bashfully. “I’m sorry. I’m such an idiot for going off on a rant about myself in a place like this. All of this was just one of Auntie’s crazy made-up stories. Please forget everything I said.”

Following a hearty sniffle, she said, “Now, let’s get back to looking for that key.” Her voice was tinged with a forced sense of joy.

“What happened to the girl you met under the ginkgo tree?” I asked.

Lotus shook her head. “She gave me the will to live. I couldn’t bear to leave without thanking her, so I asked at the hospital reception desk about her, but they couldn’t find any patient who matched her description. Since she looked just like my Nona, I used a photo and went around asking, but I didn’t have any luck.”

“...Nona?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Nona’s the name of my daughter. I love the song ‘Sukiyaki’ - have you heard of it?”

“That Japanese hit by Kyu Sakamoto?”

“Yes. Since Kyu Sakamoto’s name in Japanese contains the character for ‘nine,’ I decided to name my daughter Nona.”

I tilted my head in confusion. I didn’t get it.

She continued, “It’s Latin. The prefix for nine.”

Lotus dived into a thorough explanation. The prefix for one in Latin is “uni,” as in unicorn. Two is “bi,” as in binary numbers. Three is “tri,” like for trio or triple or triangle. Afterwards, there’s “quadri,” “quinque,” “sex,” “sept,” and “octo” is for eight, like in octopus. And lastly, “nona” is for nine.

“Oh, is that why it’s called the Nonary Game?” I asked.

Lotus nodded. According to her, “nonary” meant “of nine things” or “relating to the base-9 number system.”

There were nine of us. Our time limit was nine hours. In order to ultimately escape from this ship, we needed to form a digital root of [9] and open the [9] door. Everything involved the number 9.

“I find it vexing that this game shares a name with my daughter,” Lotus said while peeking inside a nearby cupboard. “I’m going to live and escape this ship. I swore back then that I would live a long life for my daughter.” She continued with a smile. “Maybe the girl I met back then was Nona’s ghost... I wonder about that nowadays.”

“That’s enough with the ghost stories,” I replied with a laugh. Before I realized, the gloom in the air had lifted.

“I think there’s probably an afterlife,” Lotus said. “Even now, I sometimes sense my daughter staring at me. It feels very warm. I’m sure she’s looking over me... and always encouraging me, ‘Keep going, Mom!’ That’s why I can’t let her down.”

“We’ll survive and escape from here. For sure.”

Just as how Lotus was encouraged by that curious girl - Nona’s ghost? - I felt empowered after hearing Lotus’s story. It was too early to give up. For Lotus, for her vanished daughter, for Akane, for the others in this game, for my dad, for my mom, for my teachers, for my friends - for everyone I’m connected to, and for myself, I had to survive no matter what.

“...I found it.”

I heard Santa mumble from afar. I turned around and saw a green key flying at me in mid-air.

“Nice find, Santa.” I caught the key and stood up.

“Not like I was tryin’ to help. I got hungry and was lookin’ for somethin’ to eat,” he said.

As usual, he had a sour expression on his face and spoke brashly. But this time, I didn’t feel irritated. He was standing in front of the dishwasher. There couldn’t possibly have been any food there.

“Your sister must have it tough, having a rebellious big brother like you,” Lotus laughed.

“I don’t have one. A sister.”

“What? But earlier-”

“She died of Angel Fever,” Santa added brusquely.

He had on his usual poker face, but this time, I noticed it. I had thought him to be a completely cold-hearted person, but for a moment, I caught a glimpse of the deep sorrow in his eyes. That was most likely the real Santa. He probably was only pretending to be tough.

“Let’s go.”

I stood in front of the green door and inserted the key I received from Santa into the keyhole. The screen changed to display the question text.

~Question! What is the scaaaary disease that connects the nine of you together?~

Without hesitation, I typed in “Angel Fever.” My bracelet started flashing red, but I wasn’t concerned. After all, I had complete confidence in the answer.

After I hit the enter key, the door unlocked somewhat anticlimactically. Lotus whistled.

“Let’s move,” I said.

Right as I brought my hand to the doorknob, I heard the sound of a door opening from somewhere behind me. I turned around, but the entrance to the kitchen was closed.

Footsteps echoed.

The three of us exchanged glances. Someone else was here. Whoever it was walked slowly down the hallway before the kitchen.

“...Could it be Zero?”

Lotus braced herself for what was to come. Santa expressed an unusual look of concern.

The footsteps stopped right in front of the entrance to the kitchen. The three of us focused our gazes there. Before long, the doorknob turned-

“Jumpy?” Akane peeked her head through the open door.

“Ka-, no, June...?”

My mind couldn’t process the situation fast enough. I stood there paralyzed, staring back at her in shock.

“Jumpy! I’m so relieved-” Akane cut across the kitchen and flew over to me, on the verge of tears.

“H-Hey... June...”

While weeping like a child, she started patting my chest. From what I could tell, her fever had gone down.

“Leaving me behind like that... that’s terrible! I felt completely helpless.”

“Where have you been all this time?”

“What are you saying? I’ve been sleeping in bed. In Room 92.”

“What? But...”

“I dozed off for a bit... And when I woke up, everyone was gone. I was shocked.”

I still couldn’t fathom what had happened. At the very least, I could tell that Akane wasn’t lying.

“I’m glad. Now we can forge ahead without worry,” Lotus said.

As I stood there still in shock, Lotus put her own hand on the doorknob and opened the door.

“Let’s go, June,” I said.

Thinking everything through could wait. Right now, we had to focus on safely clearing this game. That should be the only thing on our minds as we moved forward.

“Yes!”

Akane’s reply was brimming with energy.

Chapter 9

...Nine years ago?

After listening to their conversations, I finally understood everything.

I can’t believe it.

Who is responsible for this mischief?

...God.

That was the only answer that entered my mind.

A Year Review: 2017

Hi! I remember doing this just a year ago, how time flies quickly! Now I am writing my 2017 summary, reminiscing all the challenges and good opportunites I’ve experienced makes me feel overwhelmed and blessed at the same time. This year taught me a lot of things especially about loving yourself, being strong even when alone, and making good and right decisions. 

Little Throwback. Starting with the first quarter of the year, as seen on my previous blog, I got my first job at Clark Pampanga as an Online English Teacher. Just a little detail about it, we teach Japanese students be an elementary, high school, college and even elderly people. I’ve had regular students and made friends with them, some even invited me for a meet up. I’ve learned a lot especially about their culture, Japanese culture.

Drama In The Past. But behind those happy faces on webcams, I’ve experienced heartbreak and isolation. Being away from home makes me sick, no time for video call with my boyfriend because of bad signal. I also felt helpless being alone. I’ve had friends with my co-workers but not the kind of friend that you can call a “buddy”. We just greet each other, having some chit chats sometimes, but then during lunch time I stay at my pod and eat there alone. I told myself it’s okay to be just with yourself sometimes, even though you see good friends eat together. Aside from sick people, I hate the schedule. They will force you to work during weekends, sometimes 7 days a week with different shift from morning to evening. I’ve experienced walking at the street alone as early as 4 am and as late as 12 am. I was scared especially because I am new to that place, however, I survived and nothing bad happened. I’ve also experienced to roam around, shop, eat and watch movie at the mall alone. I suddenly remember being scared to walk or even go somewhere unaccompanied, but when I got there my whole self suprised me because actually I can. And that’s one of the big lessons I’ve realized this year.

Heartbreak. It was on the 3rd month of the year when another challenge hit our long distance relationship. Just because of loneliness and exhaustion from one’s work, we became cold. We misunderstood each other. And we forgot each other’s needs that no one but us can fulfill. It was so hard for us, especially we can’t see each other and the communication was only limited. I cannot forget that moment because I became depressed, I cried myself at night, swollen eyes, wake up in the morning I felt sick but I still go to work. I cried at my pod when no one sees me. Looking at the clock, a minute before my class I’ll sit properly, wipe my tears, take a deep breath and force myself to smile. And I think that’s the hardest thing I did. Pretending yourself to be alright but deep inside your heart’s weeping. Until one day, everything went back to normal. It was just a trial for us because I know something worth all the tears is coming...

New Job. It was the end of March when I made a decision for myself. I wanted to leave the company. I wanted to try something else, closed to our home, good environment, nice schedule, and new friends. I submitted my resignation letter, 1 month of rendering I became close to my co-workers. I felt welcome because I can eat lunch and go to the mall with them. But that doesn’t change my decision. One week before I leave, I was thinking about my plans when a company texted me for a phone interview. It was the company that I applied to 7 months ago. I felt relieved and blessed! I thanked God for the great timing. I just stayed and took a rest at home for a week and I quickly started in my new job at PLDT as a customer service frontliner. At first, it was difficult. Learning their system wasn’t easy, dealing with customers especially those irate ones was hard. But I got used to it. The workplace is just in our hometown, I made new friends, the schedule and the environment was all good. God is so amazing He heard all of my prayers!

My Baby’s Home. After more than a year of LDR, finally my boyfriend’s back! I couldn’t contain all the happiness that I was feeling. Being with his arms again felt like home. I was too excited and my heart just wanted to explode. You’ll just realize how strong your relationship is after all the challenges, but at the end of the day you’ll still come back to each other. Long days and nights, new experiences, foodtrips, roadtrips, and adventure for his 3 months of stay here. Even though he didn’t make it to his board exam, we are still thankful and blessed for so many things.

We Just Had A Baby! Due to our hardwork, we just bought a new car. A big blessing for our growing and maturing relationship. An inhibition just in case he wants a break up =)) kidding.. Getting a license, learning how to drive and knowing all the rules, all were surprisingly unexpected. He was so overprotective to provide me a buddy since he’s not staying here. :)

Merriest Christmas Ever. December, after 4 months of going back to LDR, another love of my life came back home - My Mama! She finally celebrated Christmas and New Year with us after 15 years. Woah! Shopping, a lot of food cooked by her, Christmas party with the family, and right now still looking forward for many great bondings to happen.

In life, there will be ups and downs. What is important is you have to be strong, not only for your loved ones but most especially for yourself. Every trial and challenges brings happiness along the way. Thank you Lord God for my wonderful 2017! You are the reason why I am becoming stronger every year.

Have a prosperous 2018, everyone!

Love, Airah

two-year tribute to furisting

happy furisting anniversary, everyone!!  I, for one, can’t believe I’ve done this, but I guess if I’m going to actually write for this blog it might as well be for one of my favorite quotes of all time

~1.5k, this is PG, Disclaimer: NO FISTING ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE NOR IS IT DESCRIBED IN DETAIL, GRAPHIC OR OTHERWISE

...

“Oh my god,” Furihata says, and the dawning horror in his voice is so startling that Kawahara actually puts down his pencil and abandons the homework he has due next period so he can watch the expressions his friend is about to make.  It’s lunch time, which is fortunate, because that means they’ve pushed their desks together along with Fukuda’s, giving Kawahara a front row seat to this show.

“Oh my god,” Furihata repeats, like a man realizing he’d misread the project due date and everything was actually supposed to be turned in on the 4th instead of the 14th.  (It’s possible that Kawahara’s modern Japanese teacher is going to flay him alive, but he just can’t look away from whatever it is that’s making Furihata use that voice.)  Kawahara would swear he can see his friend going through the five stages of grief right in front of his eyes.

“You okay?” Fukuda asks, squinting at him.  Furihata looks over at him, face so grim that he might as well be staring down a firing squad.

“Izuki-senpai thinks I don’t know what fisting is,” he breathes.

Fukuda jolts in surprise, driving the plastic straw of his juice box up into his soft pallet and coughing loudly.  Kawahara gleefully marks his project down as a lost cause.  This is clearly going to be the most important thing to happen to him all week.

“Why do you say that?” Fukuda sputters, eyes watering as he uses his sleeve to wipe juice from his chin.

“It was a misunderstanding,” Furihata says.  “Oh god-” he puts his face in his hands- “it was misunderstanding, I didn’t hear him right because the captain was already shouting at him for bringing it up, and now he thinks I don’t know and he’s going to tell the other upperclassmen and they’re going to overreact.”

Kawahara leans over his desk and claps him on the shoulder.  “There, there,” he says, maybe less sympathetically than he could.

“Why would the second years be weird about this?” Fukuda asks.  “It’s not like whether you know what fisting is or not is going to affect how well you play basketball.”  Kawahara knows he’s grinning like a loon, but he can’t help it.

“They’re weirdly invested in our sex education,” he tries to explain.  “Weren’t you there when coach and Tsuchida-senpai gave Kagami the talk?”

Fukuda frowns.  “They never did that,” he says, eyes narrowing in suspicion.

“They did,” Furihata moans into his palms, hunched so far over in his seat that his forehead is brushing the edge of his desk.

“They did,” Kawahara confirms.  “It happened just after Kagami got that confession, remember?  There were diagrams, and then coach made Tsuchida-senpai give him a practical condom demonstration.  I think that was probably why Kagami turned the girl down, since he was too embarrassed to even look at her after all that.”

Fukuda’s expression is slowly changing to match Furihata’s own horror.  “Why was Tsuchida-senpai-”

“He’s got a girlfriend!” Kawahara says.  It’s possible that he’s enjoying this a little too much.  “So obviously coach decided that he had the most experience and made him show Kagami how to put a condom on.”

“She brought a cucumber and the condom,” Furihata adds, still speaking into his hands.  “The cucumber was uncomfortably lifelike.”

“I thought Kagami was going to die,” Kawahara says.  It had been an incredible day.  He and Furihata hadn’t even been ordered to attend the little presentation, they’d just happened to be in the room when Riko had marched in with her props and Tsuchida in tow and ended up staying out of morbid curiosity.  Aida Riko was nothing if not thorough when it came to ensuring the health of her players.  “There was even a quiz afterwards to make sure he understood the material.”

“This never happened,” Fukuda says, but it’s pleading, like he’s asking them to tell him it’s all just a bad joke.  He looks at Furihata who is still trying to fold himself up into a ball of human shame origami.  “The second years are good people,” he says desperately.  “They wouldn’t make Kagami talk about his dick.  Or where he might put it in the future.  Or how he should put it there and not be at risk for disease.  Or even say the word ‘sex’ and make eye contact with any of them at the same time.”

“They can and they did,” Furihata moans.

“Kagami actually already knew a lot about different forms of contraception,” Kawahara muses.  “Do you think he’s smoother in English?  Maybe he got lots of dates in California.”

“Impossible,” Furihata mutters, still miserably creeping towards the floor but unwilling to pass up a chance to roast Kagami.  “Last week I saw him sneeze onto his lunch and then eat it anyways.”

“Remember when he got a new phone case and then forgot and panicked because he thought he’d accidentally stolen someone else’s phone?”

“Two days ago he was trying to show me how to moonwalk before practice but he couldn’t do it without taking his shoes off and then coach came in and yelled at him for not being changed so he tried to run to the locker room in his socks and fell on his face.”

“I saw that,” Fukuda says.  “It was spectacular.  Also, he’s a terrible dancer.”

There’s a brief, peaceful silence where they all ruminate on Kagami’s total lack of moves, and then Furihata brings them all back around to the topic at hand by making a wounded noise.

“I can never go to practice again,” he says.  Kawahara is pretty sure he’s actually underneath the desk now.  “It was almost funny when it was Kagami, but if I have to listen to any of the second years try to explain any sort of technique-” all three of them shudder at the word- “I will actually disintegrate.  Into dust.  You can fill an hourglass with my remains and use it to time passing drills or something.”

Fukuda is nodding along, equally somber.  “You’re definitely screwed,” he says, voice grave.  “I’ll tell your brother you love him,” he promises.

“No,” Furihata says, “don’t do that.  He owes me 1500 yen and I’m not speaking to him until he pays up.  If I die without that money, then he’s unforgiven forever.  And I will definitely die without that money because he doesn’t get paid until Monday and Izuki-senpai won’t make it to the end of the week without bringing this up again.”

“Oh, come on,” Kawahara says with a sigh.  He figures he’d better at least start trying to be supportive.  There are only a couple minutes left in the lunch period and he’s not so bad a friend that he’s going to make Furihata sweat over this until practice.  “You really think it’ll be that bad?  The upperclassmen might actually be crazy, but it’s not like this is going to haunt you for the rest of your life.  No one is going to obsess over fisting, for god’s sake, not even Izuki-senpai.  It’ll be over by the end of the week.”

“I’ll be over by the end of the week,” Furihata mutters, from somewhere around his ankles.

“Listen,” Kawahara tries again.  “Worst case scenario, you can’t explain to him that you actually do know what it is in time and you have sit through an explanation of it - which, by the way, will be fine because you already know what it is, so it’s not like there’ll be any surprises - and then the second years laugh a little bit and then you go on your way and we only bring it up once or five times a year when we want to hold something over your head.  That’s it.  No more fisting, you’re free forever.”

“Really?” Furihata asks, sounding more skeptical than Kawahara thinks is reasonable.  The basketball team is weird, but they’re not that weird.

“Yeah,” he says, as reassuringly as possible.  He punches Fukuda in the shoulder get his attention and makes a frantic gesture to signal him to back him up on this.

“Yeah!” Fukuda agrees hastily, oddly cheerily for a man who was just helping Furihata plan his own funeral.  “It’ll all blow over!  Just wait until someone else says something dumb and then you’ll see, none of us will remember any of this.”

“Alright,” Furihata says, more confidently than before, and he must unfold a bit because Kawahara can suddenly see the top of his head behind his desk.  “Okay,” he says, and stands up, cautiously resettling himself in his chair.  He looks pale, but that’s probably to be expected.  It’s one thing for the coach and Tsuchida-senpai to run a presentation on practical sex ed, it’s totally different to have the threat of one of Izuki-senpai’s famously colorful and flashy slideshows hanging over your head.  Especially when the subject matter is as….extreme as fisting.  Lesser men would weep.  Or try to switch schools.  Luckily, Furihata is made of stronger stuff.

He takes a couple deep breaths.  “If it looks like he’s not going to let this go, I will tell him that one of you has never heard of…whatever’s worse than fisting, I guess,” he threatens.

“You can’t just throw us under the bus like that!” Fukuda cries, clutching his chest in exaggerated betrayal.

Kawahara frowns at him.  “That would definitely be a dick move,” he says.

Furihata’s expression is stony.  Determined.  Damn him and his stronger stuff.

“Sacrifices have to be made,” he says, and then the bell chimes to signal the end of the lunch period.  “If I’m going down, I’m not going alone,” he tells Kawahara, as he pushes his desk back to its correct position.

“You’re not going down,” Kawahara insists, and god, he hopes he’s right.  It was just a simple communication error.  It’s not like the second years can take it very far before Furihata gets a chance to clear it all up, right?  Right?

Forgotten Day

Original fic by rantarous on AO3. This fanfiction was reposted with permission from the original author.

Rating: PG-13

Word Count: 1587

Genre: Romance, Fluff

Type: oneshot

Summary: In which Kaede Akamatsu is left off with her own thoughts and Amami comes along.

Pairing(s): Amami Rantarou x Akamatsu Kaede

Warning: -

Kaede lifts her hand, obstructing the fading light of the sunset bleeding through the glass window. The rays blinding her eyes causing a sound of vexation to slip past her lips. For someone who adores the sunset, her mind's filled with too many clouds to pay attention.The clouds hiding the beauty of the sun taking its refuge somewhere untold, those thoughts distracting her from relishing the scenery.

On any normal day, she observes the view from the window, watching how the purplish orange beams reflect on the dots of clouds decorating the sky, spread out from one another. The thought of them feeling lonely always lingers somewhere in the back of her mind, scattered from their companions, but the warm hue tinted on them probably keeps them enough company.

The pavements and foliage too, is painted with the mesmerizing shade.

However, she isn't in the mood for that.

Blinking her eyes, they turn away from the mocking lights and lazily land from seat to seat instead, mouthing the names of the classmates as she remembers the present they each gave her. They finally fall upon Amami's last, which is situated right to her left, beside the window. He's the only one who hasn't given her anything, let alone wish her a simple happy birthday much to her disappointment.

And her mind, unwillingly, wonders back between their Japanese and Math period. Tsumugi entered their classroom with a stressed expression and asked the teacher's consent to have Amami leave class early for council work. A quick bow in politeness was issued and plucked him off his seat before disappearing behind the doors.

Kaede releases a heavy sigh at the short flashback, part of it due to exhaustion but a great deal of it is because she's upset.

"Ah. Akamatsu-san! You're still here. Thank goodness... I thought you would've left before I was done with my school council work."

Her head snaps up a little too quickly from her desk, experiencing a vertigo thereupon. Akamatsu swiftly gives her head a shake, her fingers rubbing the corner of her eyes vigorously before blinking a couple of times to regain her vision. And then, her eyes turn to the oh-so familiar voice she'd listen to from day on end.

Amami's back is pressed against the wall beside the door frame, his bag hoisted on his shoulder and a sense of relief washing over his face.

I was waiting for you.

Is what she want to say, but instead settles for, "you look different.”

His eyebrows gnarl at her statement, before his lips deliberately takes the form of a ball and his fingers scratches the back of his neck.

"This?" He points to his minuscule pony tail with a soft chuckle. "Tsumugi-san had an extra hair tie on her wrist and insisted I tie it with mine. It doesn't look too bad, does it?"

Ah, it's Tsumugi-san again.

It's silent for a while, followed with an air of despondence. It's not that Kaede didn't like hearing Amami talk so fondly of Tsumugi — or maybe, just maybe that's a lie — but the fact he hasn't mentioned her birthday, although he knows it's today, feels like an unpleasant blow.

"Yes... no, I don't know."

He raises a brow in amusement. "Yes, no or I don't know, which is it?"

"It does look nice. You should wear this hairstyle more often." Kaede replies genuinely, her hands propping on the table to lift herself and bends over to grab the presents stuffed in multiple bags sprawled on the floor.

Kaede points to the window, outside at the sun; about to take its leave and believes it's time for her to leave too. An apologetic smile pulls at the corner of her lips. "I lost track of  time, it's getting kind of late, right? I should go home. I'll see you tomorrow, Amami-kun."

As Kaede is nearing the exit of the classroom, ready to walk past him and permit the tears she's holding back to slide down her warm, vermillion cheeks in rivulets, Amami grabs hold of her arm quickly.

Kaede blinks at the sudden contact of his hand curling around her wrist, her eyes moving to stare at his hand before she gazes up at his green eyes. Amami advancing forward and stopping her from leaving feels like a daydream motion. She didn't anticipate the events to take such turns, already picturing herself wrapped around in her fuzzy duvet at home all alone, weeping herself to sleep.

"Akamatsu-san, the reason why I was glad you hadn't left is because I wanted to take you somewhere but," Amami pauses, looking outside momentarily and a frown appears between his brows. "It's getting a little late. Maybe we should change it to tomorrow. If you're okay w —"

"Idiot."

Laughing at his shocked face after she mumbles the word, her fingers wipe the tears lingering on the sides, thankful they managed to hold on a little longer. Amami says nothing as he watches her, opting to stay quiet and proceeds to grab half of the bags she carelessly discarded behind, obviously engulfed with too much misery to take notice.

Her neck takes a ruby red shade at that, — the same tinge as the lipstick Iruma gave her earlier as a present — going from her neck all the way up to the tip of her ears, her cheeks steaming in embarrassment.

Amami notices and laughs, his eyes shining with merriment.

"Actually Amami-kun, is it okay if we stay here instead?"

He looks back at her quizzically, but regardless, agrees and places the bags in the corner of the room. However, afterwards, Amami doesn't inch away and stares at the presents for a while before forcefully detaching his viridescent eyes, unleashing a sigh.

It sounds disappointing and saddening, like the dots of clouds draping the heavens are watching the orange colors drift away to disappear somewhere far, far away; leaving them to become sad and alone once again.

He looks and sounds both sad and lonely.

Or perhaps, that's just her eyes playing tricks on her.

"Everyone thought really well about this — I mean with your presents." He finally mumbles, after Kaede mentally counts the seconds he kept quiet. His voice holds no inflection, causing Kaede's breath to hinch in her throat.

"Yeah, I'm really grateful."

Silence falls upon them, in which Amami stands beside the door frame and Kaede nervously taps on the table, creating a soft, melodic tone, her brain too feeble to think of any topics. But, Amami takes the initiative to break it first, pushing the two tables — his and Kaede's — together and sits on it, and asks her to take the vacant sit beside him.

"You know, I really wanted to give you my present first thing this moring. Actually, I wanted to give it to you before anyone else." He begins, his eyes glued to their frontal. "But I got called in the council office before I was able to and I only got to spend a little time in class before I got dragged by Tsumugi-san again."

He pauses and inhales. His elongated raven lashes flickering over emerald irises, glistening under the fading daylight leaking in the room. He smiles warmly and Kaede's too mesmerized to come up with any type of response.

"Now, can you pass me your hand?"

"W-What, why?" Kaede snaps after being pulled from her reverie.

He chuckles. "It won't take much of your time."

Kaede nods and Amami grabs her hand, his rigid fingers against her warm palm sending a chill crawling down her spine. Her heart skips a beat, or maybe it skips several times over. She gulps, the speed of her heartbeat increasing as the time passes, she's almost certain it would peek out to the outside world.

"There, done."

Her eyes widen when he takes his hand off her wrist, gazing at it, gobsmacked. Her digits slowly touch the bracelet made out of diamonds in awe, afraid it would disappear at any moment. Kaede opens her mouth to say something but closes it again, unable to form words.

"You don't like it?" He asks worriedly.

"No it's beautiful. I love it so much. Thank you Amami-kun, I'll treasure this."

"That so? I'm glad."

Kaede gawks at Amami, his calm demeanor still intact, but the shade of his face has changed, that much is obvious. His eyebrows knots, his cheeks looking much warmer than they normally did; warm and welcoming. His cheeks tinged with the color of Iruma's given lipstick — Ah.

Kaede beams in realization, "Is Amami-kun blushing?"

"No."

"You are, aren't you?"

He attempts to glare at her but fails, sighing and turns his attention back towards the sunset.

"What if I'm blushing?"

"I — Uh,"

He peers at her, waiting for an answer with a glint of joviality. But once he perceives she's lost for words, he smiles.

The firmament at that moment gives off a soft glow of purple with a brilliant blue, a sea of stars draping across the skies. Amami notices Kaede's features lit up, her eyes twinkling in amazement as she stares at it intently, not blinking at all.

Her eyes has stars.

"It's beautiful, huh?"

"Mmm!"

He beams at her answer, truly content he gets to see her joyful instead of downcast like earlier, ending her birthday on a good note. "Then, I think we should go, I'll take you home."

Kaede finally tears her eyes from the sky and looks at Amami, nodding with a soft giggle.

"Ah... Hmm, let's go."

Asian Women Dating Advice

Asian Women

I when asked my very first sweetheart exactly what his buddies considered me dating Asian women. Obviously they were entertained that he was dating a Chinese lady, as well as teased him regarding “riding her like a Kawasaki”. I was embarrassed by their unrefined addiction on my ethnic culture, and also they really did not also obtain it right.

Maturing in New Zealand, I commonly came to grips with being various. I never ever counted on Santa and also rice was my best starch. By my late teenagers, I became aware that being Chinese additionally offered me a typecast sex-related identification: bashful, independently kinky and also rumored to be in property of an added snug, laterally vaginal area.

I initially listened to murmurings regarding “Asian fever” at college. I had not been amazed that an item of jargon had actually been created for males– as well as, it appears, mostly white guys– that harbour an unique love in the direction of Asian women; most of us recognize a man whose dating background checks out like a duplicate of the Chinese Yellow Pages. And also, there are various other tips around: numerous particular niche dating web sites accommodate those looking for Asian women; in Pornhub’s 2016 Year in Review, “Japanese” as well as “Asian” took satisfaction of area together with “lesbian” as well as “step-mom” in the leading 20 search terms; as well as if you’re a female of Asian heritage, you may have had the satisfaction of being come close to by somebody that assumed making use of the expression functioned, in some mysterious method, as a chat-up line.

So we understand that supposed “Asian fever” exists for Asian women. The concern I’ve constantly wished to ask is: why? Dr Ed Morrison, an elderly speaker in transformative psychology at Portsmouth University, claims the primary transformative concept for friend option is “optimum outbreeding”– that “the very best friend is one that resembles you, yet not as well comparable”. We generally pick individuals from the very same below populace, however prevent hereditary family members due to the threat of anomalies in children.

It makes good sense that white males might be brought in to Asian women since they’re adequately genetically various. Yet there needs to be even more to the image, particularly when it concerns guys that are solely brought in to Asian women. As Morrison mentions, “Even in modern cultures, you are more probable to wind up with a person of your very own race.”

If “Asian fever” isn’t really simply an item of just how individuals are wired, where does it originate from? Like all wonderful secrets of human behavior, there’s an additional essential component right here joining our transformative background as well as hereditary proneness. This active ingredient, certainly, is society. Engaging disagreements mapping the historic beginnings of “Asian fever” have actually been made somewhere else. However I’m interested concerning the impact of pornography. If you’ve ever before seen conventional Asian pornography (and also certainly you have), you’ll know its USP. Japanese pornography particularly represents women as meek, hyper-feminine and also unblemished– yet likewise producing conveniently to sex-related developments. And also lord, the squealing. Nothing else classification of pornography has its celebrities howling at such a quantity.

It’s evident to me that these pigtailed starlets are, well, acting. As an Asian lady, I could claim effectively that penises do not make me sob. Erika Nishimori, a part-time Japanese pornography starlet, validates that the giggly unwillingness and also pitchy squeals become part of the work. “I play awkward motions. It is acting to weep as well as be terrified,” she claims. “I am making it to make sure that guys obtain thrilled. There are couple of such points actually.”

So there we have it: Asian pornography isn’t really reality. However like each flavor of pornography that hyper-sexualises women, altered representations of Asian women can form ideas concerning just what Asian women are truly like. A current research study from the UK exposed that most of kids thought pornography was sensible. Just what could this indicate for Asian pornography fanatics? Inning accordance with Dr Elena Martellozzo, co-author of the research study and also criminologist at Middlesex University, “If young boys are continuously subjected to porn where women are exceptionally subservient and also passive, it could be suggested that they might have improper assumptions of women in their sex-related connection.” Making issues worse, the passive stereotype additionally grows in conventional media, where Asian women in theater, movies, publications as well as TELEVISION are regularly qualified as subservient, susceptible, hyper-sexual animals. The pain of misstatement runs deep below. Probably toes or clowns transform you on; as well as penalty: your hot time is your personal company if it’s consensual as well as nobody’s obtaining pain. However I’m not so awesome with individuals being sexually brought in to Asian women if that tourist attraction is sustained by ideas that we’re fragile blossoms, unique however unthreatening, reluctant however available to threat, servile and also, maybe most troublingly of all, childish.

With pornography being a multi-billion buck sector in Japan alone, manipulated depictions are most likely to linger. Like my old business economics educator Mr Warren utilized to claim of his cherished “market for delicious chocolate milk” instance: whenever there’s need, supply will move.

So does this mean that white individuals brought in to Asian women have had their minds deformed by an attack of Asian pornography?

Max * suches as Asian women, and also places it to being drawn in to physical functions like dark hair as well as slim frameworks. He’s aware of the preconception, as well as has “found out by hand that confessing you like Asian women as a white male is towered above”. Adam * is likewise “solely drawn in to women with Asian attributes”, however assumes “Asian fever” is idiotic. “Do white males that just such as white women have white high temperature?” he asks rhetorically. I obtain their factor. If their destination to Asian women is just physical, is it that various to proclaiming that you like redheads or curved women? I recognize the reasoning, however I’m not persuaded it’s that well-defined. For one, it’s extremely simple to state you’re brought in to the physical functions of Asian women. This mistakenly indicates that Asian women are homogeneously small, dark-haired and also wrinkle-less. I additionally ask yourself if destination could ever before be “simply physical”, or whether we’re really unconsciously making presumptions concerning character whenever we analyze look.

Inevitably, the reasons individuals are attracted to every various other are extremely complicated. Dr David Frederick, assistant teacher of psychology at Chapman University, research studies exactly how organic as well as social aspects affect destination. Even more to the passive stereotype, he hypothesises that an entire host of variables can add to the advancement of an Asian choice. For instance, when white males have actually mostly matured around white women “Asian as well as various other ethnic minority women [might] show up unique as well as interesting”. Frederick additionally explains that great connections could be favorably enhancing. “If a guy has an especially favorable connection with an Asian lady, this could boost his choice for Asian women,” he states. “The physical attributes regular of Asian women could end up being combined with sensations of incentive as well as satisfaction, leading males to preferentially choose connections with Asian women in the future.”. With numerous imaginable descriptions, the one point I recognize without a doubt is that tourist attraction could not be decreased to umbrella terms like “Asian fever”. I’m not keen on a term that indiscriminately identifies guys and also externalizes women at the very same time. I when listened to an individual being detected with “Asian fever” by his buddies since he revealed admiration for an Asian female going by. Why existed a pavlovian response to sexualise her ethnic background, like those silly young boys did when they contrasted me to a Japanese motorbike? Certainly a guy could discover an Asian lady appealing without always having an ingrained as well as dodgy “point” for Asian women.

Branding individuals with “Asian fever” is, per se, rather offending. The term is utilized carelessly and also it commodifies Asian women. It could appear like a memorable little tag, however it’s not truly that amusing or precise to merge being brought in to Asian women with having a possibly dangerous viral haemorrhagic condition. Also if our vaginal canals were specifically tight as well as amazingly laterally, they’re not mosting likely to eliminate you.
