He could have changed everything, Shuichi could. Eiri knew this. He knew this fact as sure as he knew the sun rose in the east and set in the west. The young singer had possessed that ability. He could have always told Eiri "no".
Shuichi had not, though. He had never said "no" to anything Eiri had wanted or asked of him. It was after they had come to their . . . understanding. It had become a way of life for them, and Shuichi never once complained. It was as if he knew what the response would have been if he had said something, and he apparently had accepted what the outcome was going to be. Eiri gazed at the magazine with Shuichi's picture on the cover, still numb for he knew.
His way of life had some ended the sweet life that had been Shuichi Shindou.
