Summary
The man hums, his lips cracking into a small smile as he turns back to Ritsuka. Fingers still splayed against the glass. And, sure, he might be crazy. But Ritsuka swears he hears angels sing.
“So weird.”
The man huffs. His eyes lock onto the embroidery of his uniform for seemingly the first time. They shine, as he looks back up.
“You work here?” He asks, almost hopefully. Something about it sends a shiver down Ritsuka’s spine. He nods. And the man wastes no time in turning to face him fully.
“Could you tell me more?”

Or, Uenoyama Ritsuka loves sea life, so much so that he decides to work at an aquarium where he meets a handsome stranger who’s weirdly interested in the animals as well. (Mafuyu sato)

Summary
There is little in life that spurs about Prince Ritsuka’s joy. Between the pressure of being royalty and the choking lack of freedom, Ritsuka has well given up on dreaming of anything he truly desires. Not even the grand royal ball set for his 20th birthday can keep him spirited.
To make matters worse, Ritsuka does not have a say in the arrangement of his birthday ball—or so seems to be the case, until he is entrusted with a single decision: choosing a singer for the orchestra. And yet, Ritsuka is hardly elated with this freedom, because he has never liked music in the first place.
But on a fateful evening, Ritsuka sneaks out of his chambers. With the solitude he is finally granted, he roams the palace with no particular reason in mind. Then, from somewhere within the dark night, he hears someone sing.
And that is the beginning of the story—the story of flowers.

Summary
A café in Machida bustled with energy, packed with people amazed with the excellent food and live shows. The townsfolk saw it as an easy stop, to relax or hang out with friends, but everyone failed to notice the boy who sat in the corner.
Pale-faced and dark-eyed, not making a sound, Mafuyu only goes to the small table for one in the corner. Away from all eyes and all minds, he’d sit, drink the smallest coffee they have to offer, and leave just as quietly as he came. He never interacts with anyone spare one or two staff members, and he intends to keep it that way.
But on a fateful day, Mafuyu enters the café to see it as crowded as can be, and his table in the corner is taken. Left with no choice but to sit at a large table in the middle of the place, he tells himself it'll all be over soon. Until three people are forced to share the table with him, and they are none other than the band that attracts majority of customers. Louder, giddier, and more spirited, they are the polar opposite of everything that defines Mafuyu.
Could the clashing of the two different worlds change Mafuyu’s life? Will it help him break free from the shackles of his past—or will it destroy all he has left?
