    Summary

    It all started with a Stagiaire.

    Though it’s only a single week that Yukihira and Shinomiya spend together, they have conversations and encounters which continue to follow them as they embark on separate quests of self-discovery. Even while they’re apart, their paths always seem to intertwine. Sometimes, it’s fiery. Other times, it’s painful.

    Most times, it’s both.

    The universe seems to be moving forwards; everyone around them seems to be falling in love. Even though they’re trying to find their own quests which will lead them to happiness, there’s just too many obstacles: broken family relations; career obligations; individual fears of commitment and failure. The puzzle pieces of their lives are scattered, and they just won't come together in a logical structure.

    Maybe — just maybe — it’s time for them to give up on fixing the puzzle.

    Only thing is, it’s a little hard to fix something when it’s not exactly broken. The puzzle pieces might be in the wrong place; people might be looking at them from the wrong perspective; they might be placed down at the wrong time, but… they’re not broken.
