Kimishima had decided very young in his life that he would never believe in fairy tales.
To him, fairy tales were simply an escape from one's own harsh reality…a way to hide away from the pain of one's own existence.
Kimishima knew that it was better not to dream—not to believe in fantasy.
…Because every time he returned from some hopeless dream, his entire life seemed to be more desolate and pathetic than it had been before. His heart always wrenched when the painful reality settled upon him, crushing and suffocating him.
Kimishima knew it would be better if he didn't dream…if he didn't fantasize, didn't ache for things that would never come true.
He had decided young that fairy tales and fantasy were lies and he needed to accept the truth of reality.
…Because even as a child, he realized that nothing ever had a 'happily ever after'.
