They say he should have moved on after his death; he should have found another lover, maybe settled down and had a family. Daisuke isn't coming back, and it's time for Takeru to move on.
But he doesn't, not because of denial but because he knows he gave all his heart to Daisuke, and that the redhead took it with him to the grave; he can't give it to anyone else. Besides, he knows that the Child of Courage isn't really gone; sometimes he comes home and the laundry is done, or a warm bath is waiting, or a hot cup of cocoa sits on the table for him. He can still smell the redhead's cologne and shampoo in the air of their house. And when he goes to bed, he can still feel Daisuke next to him, a ghost by Takeru's side, waiting patiently until the blonde's time runs out.
