    Summary

    "Could you help me with another question?" She asked hesitantly. "I'd like to... inquire about my love life."

    Love life, a term that held no relevance for him anymore. Thorns densely filled his throat. He didn't want to comply, but all the scripted words had already taken hold. She was going abroad, and he was about to descend into hell; they could never be lovers. At this moment, he suddenly felt an overwhelming disgust for his charlatan act. He wished he could strip off this ridiculous costume and cry out to her: Tarot cards are all deceitful; don't listen to any false gods. Yet here he remained, locked in her unwavering gaze, burdened by her profound and unyielding expectations, compelling him to continue playing this role.

    He heard his own unfamiliar voice saying, "Arima-san, as an idol, you probably haven't had the opportunity for a boyfriend, have you? Please, draw five cards."

    Summary

    For Ruby, Arima Kana is lame and annoying. Not in the way a person who trash talks her favorite idols online would be lame and annoying, but in the same way her brother is lame and annoying. Edgy, nerdy and definitely slightly crazy.

    or

    The one where Aqua and Kana hate each other, until they don't.

    Summary

    Arima Kana acted for others.

    Aqua wanted her to act for herself.

    (Or basically a fic of me rewriting the events in chapter 107, includng a few paragraphs of angst for background. SPOILER WARNING!)

    Summary

    [MANGA SPOILERS]

    "Aqua... c-can I ask you one last question?"

     

    "Tell me."

     

    "Who... will replace the Sun when its light is extinguished?"

     

    "Um? That's a silly question, Arima."

     

    "Eh...?"

     

    "No one." He replies. "There will be no star to replace the Sun when it is extinguished."

     

    Even if Hoshino Aqua couldn't see it at that moment, a sad smile marked Arima Kana's face.

     

    [Or also, Arima Kana wishes that Hoshino Aqua would be honest with her for once.]
