Pit 5

I thought this would be the story of two criminals on the run, with no idea where to go, what to do, or whether they should even keep living.

Including themselves.

In this alternate timeline, Aiko was saved by Shinichiro but never stayed close with the others. After killing her scumbag father and being sent to an orphanage, she embarked on a life of crime even earlier than Izana, coldly watching as Black Wheat struggled through all his pain.

The ruthless flower of evil, Miss Aiko, never cries.

Not until she destroyed everything and set off for the Philippines with this man.

She betrayed Izana, and she betrayed herself.

I have never known tenderness in this life. Everyone says I'm a heartless monster, and I thought so too, until I learned to hate for your sake.

I will destroy everything that torments you.

Including myself.

I suppose that's what love is.

No matter when or where, the hand they will always hold on to: the eternal promise between Uenoyama Aiko and Sano Manjiro.

Even if neither of them can love anymore.

This is a story about Black Wheat and Black Love.

Short story, happy ending.

The plain version of the blurb is basically: a cheating, scummy woman screws over her boyfriend Izana and gets him sent to prison, then runs away with her lover.

Theme: Love is an eternal miracle
