EPILOGUE

戻らない過去に泣いたことでさえ 生まれ変わって明日をきっと照らしてくれる

"If you could talk to the stars, what would you tell them?"

He looks up at the night sky over his shoulder. Tooru watches his face as his mind gets lost in thought while he searches for a proper answer, and he can only think about breathing deeply, searching for a way to make even more room inside his chest for this immense love he feels towards Shouyou.

"Something like 'I'm not worthy of your love'."

Tooru tries to reply, and Shouyou simply places his index finger over his lips.

"And something along the lines of… 'But I shall be, soon. And then I'll look at you again. Wait for me.'"

Tooru nods and closes his eyes, a smile that equals that of his husband on his lips.

Because he knows that all the stars shall wait for as long as it takes if it's for Shouyou.
