"She had my eyes."

"I know."

"They were just how mine used to look like. Long ago. But I remember. I remember how they used to look like. I didn't. But then I looked into hers. And I knew. I remembered."

"I know, Enya."

"Did you know her personally?"

"Not so much."

"Is that why you rejected her?"

"Huh?"

"She resembled me. Is that why you rejected her, Akashi-sama?"

"It doesn't work like that, Enya."

"Then what does it work like?"

"Love. Infatuation. Whatever you call it. You can't just decide to like or love a person. It doesn't work like that. It happens. Just how death happens. And life is born. It just occurs out of thin air and vacuums you. It leaves you breathless, speechless- helpless, even. It makes you feel every single feeling, all at once, and so much more you fail to comprehend, you fail to differ. Except decision. You can't decide to feel it for a particular somebody. And once fallen, you can't not fall for them. It just... happens. Inexplicably."

"How do you know? Have you ever fallen in love?"

"Why?"

"I want to know. Did you?"

"So that you can hurt her as well?"

"Did you, Akashi-sama?"

"Yeah. Unfortunately, I did. But by the time I realized that, she was unreachable, already broken beyond repair."
