[Conan and Ai] A Shallow Summer, a Wiped-Out Lifetime

When first I fingered the frosty silk, longing filled my heart. Beyond the leaves, an oriole's song seemed to imitate Qin E's singing. I woke from my noon nap, languid for a while, as a mat of twin patterns spread cold waves. After the rain, the breeze over the duckweed stirs the swelling green waters. The lotus flowers gaze at one another, wordlessly, their faces tear-streaked and red. A new moon rests askew against green clouds, its curve just like a sorrowful brow. -- I believe you have always been the bravest and strongest detective. I will support you forever. -- I believe you have always been the most steadfast and responsible girl. I will protect you forever. [Haibara] [Edogawa] [Ai] [Detective Conan] {A jumbled-up bundle of love: If you're a Conan and Ai fan, go read my other Conan and Ai story, "Cherry Blossoms Can Be Sad Too [Conan and Ai]". The jumbled-up bundle ends.} If someone is willing to give up everything for the person they love most, that is the most moving kind of love in the world. But if that love is nothing more than a one-sided crush, then the person who loves alone will suffer the most. Cherry blossoms in full bloom make people feel romantic, but also somehow desolate. Sunlight passes comfortably through the cherry blossoms. It's beautiful, dreamlike. Heaven always plays a different trick on each of us, just as cherry blossoms unfailingly bloom with petals that inspire different feelings. Those petals bring a sense of sadness, but they truly are beautiful. They call this feeling a poignant beauty. A fleeting summer, a lifetime brushed away. Theme:
