I read this before the main story bc I saw that it was a prequel of sort and I found it sad but I didn’t really understand how any of the characters were tied in together so in ch 3 when Motoharu saw Misaki I didn’t understand what was happening. Months later (today) I read the main story, it’s sequel and reread this story and I’m crying so hard. Obviously the story in itself was fucking sad as shit and don’t even get me started when Motoharu said “I’m already late” and it pans to Akita’s wedding but when Motoharu saw Misaki and was reminded of him and Akira I started bawling and when he started talking about the funeral. The fact that they’ve been with each other since they were 10 and were in love with each other that entire time and in motoharu’s case (and i believe akira as well) loved him even after the marriage, the fact that they spent all those years loving one another but only got 4 days together until they had to be separated.. ah shit I’m bout to cry again
