I don't know how to begin this without my heart shaking.
君に出会ってから、世界が優しくなった。
(After I met you, the world became gentler.)
They say some people come into your life and leave footprints on your soul.
You didn’t just leave footprints, Eiji—you stayed. You stayed in the silence, in the chaos, in the pain, and in the peace.
And I… I tried to push the world away, but you were the one thing I couldn’t let go.
お前は俺の光だった。
(You were my light.)
Even now, when everything is dark, I can still feel your warmth—like sunlight through cracked windows.
If I had one more life, just one,
I’d spend it all to find you again.
ありがとう、愛してる。
(Thank you, I love you.)
永遠に、
—Ash
