Theme 9: Hide and Seek

He has been looking for her for two lifetimes, and she has been hiding from him all this time.

Looking for somebody who does not want to be found has always been difficult, but he doesn't want to give up. Not now. Not when he's this close.


Theme 10: Messenger

She sent one of her bodyguards to meet him because she didn't think she'll be able to talk to him without crying, and the last thing she wanted him to see was how weak she really was.


Theme 11: Ice

He was persistent. He wasn't willing to give her up without a fight, so he camped outside her mansion and created a fiasco when Sonomi had policemen take him away.

She saw all this from her bedroom window, and the sight of him trying to break free from the two policemen holding him down sent her running outside.

He stopped at the sight of her, his eyes relieved and hopeful, until she opened her mouth and said with a voice so cold, he could feel the world turn black and white, "Please, go away."


Theme 12: Chemistry

It all started in Music Class. Their teacher, enthralled by their duet, said the two of them have chemistry, and then Yamazaki started telling everyone how Chemistry is linked to love (something about how it is a one in a million chance to find people with chemistry). One thing led to another, and the next thing they knew, the whole class was teasing them, treating them like a couple.


Theme 13: Physics

"We should stop this while we still can."

"I don't understand."

"What we're doing will be like falling from the hundredth floor, you'll break."

"A fall from the hundredth floor isn't any different from a fall somewhere at the middle. I don't care if I fall."

"Then I'll fall with you."


Theme 14: Kiss

No one had seen her for the entire day. Neither he nor her mother knew of her whereabouts. He skipped six classes just to look for her. The Music room, the cooking lab, Twin Bells, Piffle Princess, Penguin Park - he searched everywhere, but with not much luck.

Towards the end of the day, he found her by the Tsukimine Shrine, unconscious, underneath the huge cherry tree by the entrance. The sound of his shoes hitting the pavement woke her, and teary-eyed she rushed to embrace him.

Still catching his breath, the sun blinding his eyes, and sweat trickling down from his forehead to her cheek, he kissed her.


Theme 15: First Time

She was a lot of firsts for him: the first person who surprised him more than once, the first to make him laugh like there's no tomorrow, the first girl who intimidated him, the first person he ever loved with all his heart, and the first person to ever break his heart. Twice.


Theme 16: Appropriate

He never thought she could be so bold.

The moment her skin touched his, he could feel his cheeks turn warm, and it took him a great amount of self-control to push her away and tell her, "We shouldn't be doing this."

But when her eyes met his, the scent of her hair overwhelming him, she ended up winning the battle.


Theme 17: Eh...Hmmm

He didn't know why she became so cold all of a sudden. Everything he did to please her ended up making her angry, and it made him worry.

He never thought she was capable of anger, for he had always been used to seeing her smiling, and radiating with happiness.

But he was most worried every time he would only get "Hmm" for a reply.

Her silence has always scared him.


Theme 18: Photograph

Right from the very beginning, he told himself that he would never give her up. Even when she started to push him away, he swore to himself that he would fight for her to the very end.

They succeeded many battles together - Kaho, Sakura, her mother, and society. They faced it all together, but he never thought that after all that they've been through, he would still end up losing her the same way he lose her in his previous lifetimes.

Death claimed her too quickly, and all that was left of her memory was a torn picture tucked at the billfold of his wallet.
