What was once warm will fall into darkness.
What once shone in glory will move toward its end.
Fleeting lights and shadows, years passing in an instant,
The heart remains imprisoned in a narrow cage,
While the soul has crossed decades of splendor.
--On the ring, our fractured years are engraved;
--On the far shore, that former glory still remains.
A serious story. The pairing is undecided, leaning toward Hatsu Ransora, though there may be no pairing.
The title is "Glory on the Other Shore" because I feel that, after founding the Vongola and leading it through its development and heyday, the things Giotto possesses, which others consider incomparably precious, no longer matter to him. "The other shore" means what once was, what belongs to the past. What Giotto possesses and cherishes now is what he has always possessed and cherished: the friendship and bonds that have endured and deepened over centuries.
Isn't that just what they said?
"Our friendship is forever, as we vowed."
