Like I said. This story was never meant to be all fluff.
Ever since that night, words are slightly harder to say between them. Sometimes they sit in a different kind of silence, with a good few feet between them, clogged under the tension in the air. The quiet is no longer peaceful—now it is awkward.
Meroko hates that.
But she realizes that they haven't done a whole lot of talking since getting back together. They haven't talked about what's really between them. Most importantly, they haven't talked about their feelings or the darker shades of their ever-turbulent relationship, or a certain rainy day so long ago.
A part of Meroko wants to let the bad parts go. Come on, she almost begs herself. We don't have to do this again, do we? Can't we just forget that all the bad stuff happened? Why can't we just move on and let it go?
But Meroko has learned that that's not the way love goes. They have to talk out the hard parts before they can really start over. If they try to go on without thinking about the bad things, then their relationship will never work out.
As much as Meroko wants to avoid this fact, she knows that it's the truth.
Now, if only the manga had been about five volumes larger, then a real breakthrough on this relationship could have been worked in, and my rating of the Full Moon manga would have gone from a 1 million to a 2.743 million. But, hey. That's what I'm here for. Wink.
RRE.
