I'll to reach towards the sky and bring down the diamonds from those shining stars.

(they're just like us.)

It's summer and they're young and naïve. After school, they spend most of their time on the school's roof top, playing Vanguard. Often, Tetsu would join them, but sometimes it's just the two of them, discussing their decks, carelessly talking about their futures, looking at the sunset. Kai doesn't talk that much, but Ren talks for two and together, they smile a lot and he knows Kai understands.

Kai never said anything about his parents, but when they're gone, he changes and leaves. Ren stays and he fights, tries to get stronger, wants to be better than anyone else, better than Kai.

Psyqualia, the power that only belongs to him, makes everything so much better and so much easier. It makes Ren feel good for being who he is, because he's already good, he's always good, wins and doesn't need to train any more, because Fate wants him to win anyway.

Those diamonds are hidden by the darkness around them, but at the same time surrounded by faint star light. Don't you think that fits perfectly well to the two of us?

When everything is over and they're somehow back where they used to be, but also completely different, Kai still forgives him and it's as if the stars that always seemed so way out of reach, come down to earth for him. He has Asaka and Tetsu and Aichi and Kai and they are great fighters. He loves fighting them, doesn't care much about winning, but cares a lot about the other, new things he feels now and how he feels their feelings, too, when they fight.

You, who always bathes in light and me, who drowns in darkness.

There's a visitor for him, they inform him, a brown-haired, tall and unfriendly young man. He smiles when he hears the door open, spins around in his chair and sees Kai.

I didn't forget about our diamonds.
