i keep thinking about this: maybe love isn’t a destination or a possession but an influence. a force that changes your shape. that helps you become. and when it’s gone, it doesn’t mean you’ve lost it. it means you’ve absorbed it. the people who leave don’t take it with them. they leave it behind in you.

Prom '23

Arai Sumiko, you are a mastermind!!

Now we are here trusting in the efforts of Narita (the best cupid of all I want to believe) to make this a reality. Plus are they going to be the protagonists at the prom? I'm going to die of love!!
