    Summary

    "Demonizing Yuji won't make him any easier to kill."

    Shoko does not walk around a point; she barrels towards it and leaves Satoru to pick up its pieces. But not for this. Satoru’s hands are red enough already, let him leave this where it lies.

    His voice gives, cracking in two when he finally gathers the strength to whisper, “It might.”

    “It didn't with Suguru.” Mentioning Suguru is taboo, like fucking in the pews of a church before marriage, semen running down the bride’s legs before she’s made a wife.

    “He was different,” he tries.

    Shoko turns around, pinning him under brown eyes that have no give. “Why? Because his choices were his own and he still picked the wrong ones?” She leans back against the counter. “Or because you were in love with him?”

    Satoru imagined an eternity for them stretched out like the horizon. He never saw the end until it greeted him with a hole in its chest and at least curse me a little at the end on its lips.

    “The love is different,” Shoko says, “but the pain will be the same.”


    In all the worst ways, Yuji is just like Suguru.
