Summary
There is one greater truth that trumps them all, because I might change my name from Jean to Jehan and I might grow older and I might switch hobbies but there is one truth that is constant. One greater truth that defines me, I suppose.
I am Jehan, and I can hear people's thoughts.

Summary
What do you call the years in which you find yourself?
Most people call it childhood. Hiro calls it high school. But he doesn't, really—when he thinks of those years, he thinks of Asahi long before he remembers the phrase 'high school'.
Hiro will think of these four years when he's grown, and he will think of it as the beginning of the end. He will think of it as the beginning of the end of his life, because there are two clear parts of his life: before Asahi and when he's with Asahi, and he will pray and pray to any higher power out there that there is no after Asahi.
During these four years, there is a beat-up notebook and there are missed piano notes and there are the high notes that we hit and there are the low notes that are off-key, and there are the soulmate moments—missing and there, the moment where you just know, where you just know that it's you. Where you just know that it's me.
During these four years, there are fairy lights and gift wrapping paper in the garbage and unfamiliar drum sets, and the man who is blind to the heart cradled in his hand. There is love, blood, and hate, and there is almost nothing Hiro or Asahi would change about it.

Summary
Venti's gone and disappeared again, 'following the wind' or whatever, and leaving Lumine his "pet project" under the guise that it'll help her find her long-lost brother, Aether.
Weird.
He said it was situated in his office, but in his office is just a bunch of statements from a bunch of crackheads who seem to think that freakish things--impossible things--have happened to them...
But if organizing and researching the thoughts of insane people is what it takes to find Aether, Lumine will do it.- Words:
