    Summary

    How do you even begin to tell a boy that he is in so many ways a physical manifestation of your dream? Is it even fair to tell him when to pursue that very same dream, you'll eventually have to leave him behind?

     

    Tsukasa and Rui stand side by side on stage, but they won't forever. At the end of every show, the curtain falls. Time will not stop for the worlds they have brought to life together, and time will certainly not stop for the two of them. One day they'll leave their shared stage behind for the ones on which they'll stand when they achieve their dreams.

    Tsukasa tries to ignore the fact that he can't imagine that stage without the invisible marks of Rui's direction written all over the set as much as Rui tries to ignore that for every version of that show he imagines, it's Tsukasa's voice ringing out over the audience to bring his vision to life; because while they're Director and Lead now, they won't be forever. Both of their dreams are too large to compromise on without compromising pieces of themselves.

     

    Right?

    Summary

    I turn back to the stove to watch the eggs cook. “So, I wanted to ask, is there anyone coming over today to celebrate?”
    He laughs. Laughs. Like the very idea is ludicrous.
    “Don’t be silly Mom,” he says. “No one wants to come to my party, and even if they did, they'd be the laughing stock of the school. I understand perfectly! I would never do that to anyone. I'll just decorate my own small cake and eat it by myself.”
    Oh.
    And here I thought “it breaks my heart” was poetic license. My chest hurts so badly I can hardly breathe.
    “Rui…” my husband says.
    “Don’t worry, Dad, really!” Rui’s voice is so insistent I almost fall for it. Our son is a talented little actor in his own right. Rui scratches the back of his neck. “Actually, truly, please don’t worry. It hurts more when you pity me.”
    Then, he heads back to his room.

    Summary

    Rui wakes up and finds the past ten years of his life missing. It's a harder adjustment than he first would have assumed, having to get used to things like wearing his hair up, using emojis when texting, and, apparently, being married.
