#i am where chika escapes to. if such a place wasn't safe it would be meaningless.

[kazumahashimoto]

kono oto tomare is really good btw i feel like every time i remember literally any detail about it it like breaks me a little bit. the amount of love amyu has poured into this story and characters fucks me up man. like it renders me speechless sometimes and you know i love to talk. you walk into kot like oh this is gonna be some shoujo music sports anime type shit and it hits you with that one two "i bet chika never thought that he, himself, could be thought of dearly by somebody else. after realizing that, i thought of all the things i could've done, and all the things i didn't do, and felt angry that i didn't take action. which is why, from here on out, i think i'll continue standing next to chika, just like i always had." "if i also fell, how would i pull him back up? i am where chika escapes to. if such a place wasn't safe, it would be meaningless. i don't know how you define friends. maybe they would have the resolve to fall down together, but don't look down on my resolve to stand beside him when he's risen up." like what if i died right here
