Substitute (Dark Conan and Ai Fanfic)

In the end, those who can be happy are the ones who can compromise with life's cruel grasp.

Those who refuse to settle may seem beautiful and tragic, but they never win happiness's favor.

But that's love.

Once you've fallen in love, how can you hope to walk away unscathed?

Although I've made extensive changes, this story is adapted from "Not Staying," by @Ai Zhe Jiang Li on Baidu Tieba.
