Gemstones.
Mine is a Garnet.
I don't know why gems are so special, though.
They're just 'heated-up' rocks, right?!
My grandmother believed that these stupid rocks showed a person's apparent fate.
From beginning to end.
However, the rest of the story is completely different.
My mother had said that garnets represent a 'fiery passion of love'.
What is that supposed to mean?!
After all, I'm the one who triggered Naoki's death.
Both my grandmother and mother, disagree.
Claiming that I'm innocent.
It had nothing to do with me...
...Or so it seemed...
Naoki, what was so special about me?
Is this what my mother called 'destiny'?
...Or is it more than just that?
Fate?
Maybe(?)
Who knows?!
Naoki, I wish you were here to respond.
I need an answer!
