Summary: They say eyes are the mirror of the soul. That through them, you can tell a person's true intentions and feelings. He's always wondered if it was true. If she had been able to tell, had been able to see how much his soul shined like the brightest diamonds whenever she was near; if his eyes had truly been capable of showing her how much he loved her. Perhaps not, because years later, as he watches her walk through the door, chestnut hair flowing in her wake just as beautifully as he remembered, he doubts she'll be able to look into his eyes and see the tiny shards of his soul she left behind all those years ago.

Author's Note: Hello, everyone and welcome! I'm really sorry if this note turns out to be a bit long, but I wanted to point out a few things before you start reading, and I would really appreciate it if you read it until the end 3
So, first of all, this is an AU! Which means you'll know the characters and their traits, but you won't be familiar with the universe in which the story takes place. I've come up with a completely different plot that I truly like and have given much thought to.
On another note, I just wanted to point out that in this AU, there'll be professions that I am not completely familiar with. I've done some research, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do them justice xD That being said, please understand that there's certainly going to be mistakes in the way I describe some things regarding said professions, which I hope you forgive :p Also, since I don't live in Japan, it's even harder to be completely sure how things work there, so I've decided to use some info from my own country and how things work here, as well. Don't forget that this is a work of fiction, so things are not going to be 100% like reality!
Those were the main points I wanted to mention right now, at the beginning, so that you'll keep them in mind ;) Without further ado, I'll stop bothering you so you can finally start reading! I truly hope you guys like it as much as I do! Please, don't hold back and let me know what you think! Feedback is much appreciated 3
Enjoy~
