Aware (Japanese) The bittersweetness of a brief and grading moment of transcendent beauty.
The moment Dan saw Phil for the first time was on a train station. He had just arrived in Manchester, ready to start university there, when he caught sight of a black mop of hair. He only caught a glimpse of him, since they were on different platforms and there were a lot of other passengers around, but he remembers thinking 'What a nice way to start my new life here.'

The second time Dan saw Phil was at university. It was his first ever seminar on his very first day so he was there extra early. Okay, admittedly he wanted to get a seat in the very back so that he could play on his phone if this was going to turn out being super boring. Nonetheless, he was one of the first students there and got his favored seat. Only problem was, he now had loads of time to kill, so he took out his phone to check twitter for a bit. He only looked up again when the teacher entered the room and suddenly his eyes found that same mop of unruly black hair a few rows in front of him. He sighed internally. Never ever could that person, whoever he was, look as good from the front as he did from behind.
