They were all a little in love with her, in those years of dreams and passion. If Tachibana Kippei was their unshakable core, then his sister was the epitome of what he represented. She was their star, their heart.
Akira should have counted himself lucky, that he is the one whom the princess has chosen, that he is found worthy of such a goddess. He should have been proud.
But in truth, Akira only feels non-existent, as he stands there watching her walks down the aisle on her brother's arm, watching the loving smile on her lips, watching the way her eyes sparkles - as her gaze lingers on the one beside her. He has to close his eyes from the glare of her white dress.
Because he does not want to witness how her glow dims when her eyes eventually turn onto him.
