Chapter 204 - Forbidden Love
Kaizaki nodded after reading Note card 3: "Just nod your head if you are also test subject"
When Hishiro saw Kaizaki nodding, tears flowed down her face. Seeing this, Kaizaki immediately embraced her for a long long time.
The embrace was warm, but yet for the two of them, the tears kept coming down. After a few minutes, Hishiro realized that they stayed quiet for too long and it could get suspicious. She then withdrew from the hug and made the 'keep quiet' sign again. Then pulled out note card 4.
Note Card 4 "We need to be very careful and not get caught. We need an excuse to spend time together. With the 3rd semester starting, we can study together everyday."
Kaizaki nodded in agreement, but before he would completely let her go, and he pulled her close. Then he finally kkkkkissed her. As the world spun around and around, nothing else matter...
Both of them have wanted the kiss for so long. It was so fulfilling but yet so surreal. Neither wanted the kiss to stop, but when reality returned, Hishiro realized the two spies may be wondering why it is so quiet. So she said good bye and left the apartment.
After Hishiro left, Kaizaki was ready to scream but yet he knew he could not. At the same time, he was so very very very happy, and his brain started running through all the possibilities. The most amazing revelation is that their forbidden love is now not so forbidden because they are both older subjects. But on the other hand, it was forbidden for them to reveal to each other that they are test subjects. It is so unfair, but he knew he should be thankful because Relife was what made their happiness possible in the first place. However, he can no longer accept the possibility of forgetting about Hishiro now, but he had no solution because each will soon be forgetting about the other person. As he lie in bed, he kept trying to think of a solution... before finally falling asleep.
When Hishiro got home, she was also ready to scream. The one she loves is another subject who is probably her age. She is not in a hopeless romance with a high school boy. Now she must must must must must find a way to protect their love and their memory. She will not allow herself to forget about this once in a lifetime love. The problem is how to remember each other when they will both lose their memories. She could not ask Yoake or An for help because they were not allowed to tell others about being a test subject. And of course, she could not ask Kariu or Ohga for help either. It is such a strange dilemma because there was no one to help them. As she lay in bed, her meticulous mind was working through possible ways to help herself remember about Kaizaki and their love, before she finally fell asleep.
