When everything is a lie, when all that was done was a scheme created by the person willing to die for you, when there's no way to undo it all and the one you love most vanishes into thin air before your eyes, who can tell him how to save what he has done?
When I made this decision, I was glad I hadn't loved you so deeply.
When I chose to die, I wasn't running away. It was my responsibility. In the instant I closed my eyes, all I could think was: I'm sorry. I'll never be able to go see those three miles of plum blossoms with you again.
When I saw how much pain he was in, I could have given up everything too. But facing our wedding day, I'm sorry, I have to run. It's not that I don't love you, but that I'm afraid to love you.
The story starts slowly. The first volume is essentially a recollection, and the second is where the main story begins.
Theme:
…Why do you suddenly feel so…short?
Come on, madam (???_??)?
