[Sister story: Todoroki Fumiko's Destination, now ongoing]
[Updates irregularly!!!]
Todoroki Maruko dreams of catching up with her older brother and sister, and being as outstanding as they are. But no matter how hard she tries, she can only watch their backs as they grow farther and farther away, forever out of reach.
She has been confused, disappointed, and broken down. In the end, she immersed herself in a new world and set out on her own path.
As if she were in a dream, unable to tell fantasy from reality.
She has been sensitive, insecure, sentimental, and kind ever since she was young.
Her sister says she's silly, and asks why she makes life so hard for herself.
She says it makes life feel so full.
Her brother says she's stupid, and asks why she's so stubborn and persistent.
She says it's because she doesn't want to be ordinary.
In the end, Todoroki Maruko touched the edge of her dream and drew out the spirit within her heart.
"Is this the real me?"
She has a secret. At some point, she somehow started coughing up petals streaked with blood.
Either she stops loving him from afar, or she finds a way to make the person she loves fall for her.
_
"I don't want to force anyone, but I don't want to stop loving him, either..."
_
"Suddenly, I feel like it wouldn't be so bad to die just like this."
_
"I just can't bear to leave my brother and sister, or Gray Valley-kun."
_
Blood stains the petals, their breathtaking beauty blooming in full.
Flowers wither, but love never fades.
Theme: Love is wondrous and complicated
