Just finisging Your Lie in April a few weeks ago was an emotional wreck and still an emotional wreck watching it, I t didn't make me cry, but it made me feel this king of void when I saw the show in general. It made me think about my life and the show in general how it might affect me. I am writing this story to try to move this void and make me happy, somewhat. So now you know why I am writing this story, I will introduce my story to you, or at least a prologue of it.
Prologue
What happen if Kousei was the one who was the injured one and the sick one? What happened if he was the one who was hospitalized and Kaori was the healthy one? How would his friends react to him and would their emotions change? These are the question I would have in my mind that been bugging me when I ended the anime. Now you might be able to think that kind of world due to being fit, eat somewhat healthy and playing the piano hours on hours, but hear me out and stretch your mind.
Your first though would be the ending would be very different for Your Lie in April, which would be right. The buildup and the characters itself would change too. Kousei wouldn't play at the Gala Concert and he wouldn't do the duet with Aiza during the school concert, he wouldn't have the guilt of taking care of Kaori, and he wouldn't play the piano as much. Yet, he wouldn't be the one that would be affected.
Tsubaki would become more depressed, knowing that she loved him, but couldn't express his love as much as he wanted to in the anime. He would become more concerned with his health, worried about his life, and sad knowing if or not he is going to die. Watari not only would be depressed losing his friend and companions, but he can never tell him that he was living a lie all this time, but I think that Kaori would live and have the worst emotions of all.
Kaori would live with the most guilt of all. Being the person who made and pushed Kousei to play basketball again, giving flashback to his mother and childhood, in the process, she also the one who lied to him for a whole year, and if he dies he wouldn't know that she lied to him. She is also the one who helped him during a dark time in his life, running away from the piano, but also haunting him in the process.
This is the concept is that we will be exploring in this story. If you don't like this concept, you better get out right now, but for the rest of us we will be continuing on without you. This story will show how each characters in the anime get affected with Kousei being sick or even dies, if they got inspired or by motivated by him and it will show how Kousei revolve around everyone and everything.
Now before I start writing/typing, I want to tell where this story is going to start and where it is going to set. The story is going to start where Episode 12 starts where Kousei plays Love's Sorrow. This might be confusing and weird start at first, but it will soon become clearer as you read more and more. Also, somethings will be the same in the anime, but it is going to happen rarely or from time to time. This is going to be a different universe in the anime, but it is going to be like a different time line from the anime where my story and the anime will overlap sometimes. Now that I got that our of the way, I present to you, Musical Sorrow.
I want to get your feedback on this storyline and how do you want for it to go, but I am working on chapter 1 right now. Do you think this story will be good, or will it tank when the chapter comes us. Help me criticize my work and read this story to your hearts extents. Thank you =D.
