Did you know, the moon could not shine without the sun? Without its sun, the moon would be nothing but another dull orb.

The moon is unlike the earth - instead of a hot core, it is cold and dead. It doesn't rotate like the earth either, merely facing us in one direction.

But the moon isn't as cold as one might imagine. The temperature at the lunar equator may fall to extreme lows of -173℃ at night, but in the daytime, it can rise to soaring highs of 127℃, as I've read. So the moon can be warm too. But only with the warmth of its sun.

It shines because the light of the sun is reflecting off its surface, and despite the fact that it seems to shine so brightly sometimes, the surface of the moon is so rough and chipped and broken, that it only reflects from three to twelve percent of the sun's light shone upon it. Maybe it wants to keep the rest of it to itself?

I like to think that the moon and the sun - like night and day; polar opposites; a perfect antithesis - complete each other. An inseparable pair.

My data and research is something of a comfort; a hope that maybe one day I could understand myself better. I want to know who I am - who 'Mitsuki' is - and who we are. And maybe even more, I want to know more about who you are. You fascinate me.

I've been wondering why everything seems to gravitate around you. Everyone seems to be attracted to this powerful and unpredictable sun like some invisible and unstoppable force of magnetism. I can never predict what you're going to do or say next, and I want to watch you more and learn from you - I want to know all about you. Never can I understand you, but I want to.

I cannot become the light all on my own. The moon cannot shine without its sun. To have my own sun always by my side and illuminate this dull path of mine - I need you. With the sun by my side; I, the moon, can illuminate the darkness.

I don't want you to dislike me. And maybe I'll leave it unsaid, but I want you to like me.

I need you by my side too. Surely, you can help me forge my own path, and be the light for my darkness, and light up this moon which cannot shine on its own without its sun.

And also, you know, during the full moon, the moon can become so bright that it overpowers all the fainter objects in the sky. It's dazzling. Many astronomers and observers have to put their telescopes away during this phase. When it's so brightly illuminated, it reflects so much light that you can even see it in the daylight. The light of the day even washes out the stars, but even then, the moon can shine brighter yet. I wonder if it can truly feel happy then?

I'll soon find out... if he's my sun.

Maybe I was born to meet you, Boruto-kun.
