A Romeo and Juliet Story
Postscript
A stone. Just one in particular, although it sits among many, many others. Already it bears the miniscule signs of age which are so hard to keep back. Nature is ever determined to reclaim what is rightfully hers.
The epigraph is simple. Lasting. And the stone is a reminder that we are all destined, one day, to return to the cold. But let us read the lines, the letters, the insufficient summary. And let us ask ourselves as the boy will ask himself for years to come: why for one love to live, must another love die?
Here lies
Hisashi
Heir to the House of Rukawa
And worthy of its name.
ALSO
His life partner
Kogure Kiminobu
Come what sorrow may
It cannot counterveil
This exchange of
Joy.
