Silence
So much passes between us without a word spoken, and at times like this we don't even think in words. Our minds touch and flow into one another enough that while we are still two we are also one, in a perfect synchrony that should be impossible, but isn't for us. At such times we are more like one person in two bodies than two people linked in our minds, and I know what he knows and will do and he knows what I'll do. It should be frightening, but it's not, and drawing apart again, after being so close leaves the both of us off balance. But we can't stay like that too long without risking losing ourselves, our individuality, so we draw apart to where we can only feel each other's presence if we try to.
History
So much history was destroyed by the cultural reform, and I have a hard time not correcting the history that people know today, because as a Hikari I learned the real history, what with the clan records having been spared the purging that most collections went through. From what Daisuke says the Niwa records also have true records, but are scattered in various caches throughout the world, everywhere that a significant number of Niwa can guard them. I wouldn't know, it's not like his mother will let me into the house without having her objections overridden by Daisuke and his father. After all, I am a Hikari by blood, and she only sees my heritage as one of the enemy, not the fact that I care for her son and hate my clan as much as she does.
