(A/N: This is really spoilery. Therefore, anyone who hasn't finished the game, don't touch it. )

(Thanks, physics lesson. I'm not sure if I got the facts right, but hey, anything is fine as long as you have artistic license, right?)

Somewhere in the game we need Momota comparing himself to the sun and his sidekicks to planets orbiting him. Shuichi then makes an indignant noise, which prompts Momota to change his statement.

"Fine, then Harumaki and I can be binary stars! After all, being the only sun would definitely be boring!"

Harukawa, highly flustered, reddens rapidly and mumbles insults about 'baKaito'.
Sighara facepalms, makes another indignant noise, and sighs. "What am I, furniture?"
Momota, being Momota, just grins stupidly.

(Oh, also some angst because I like being angsty. Reason: it's fun and I get to eat your despair.)

When comparing himself and his crush to binary stars, Momota had intentionally neglected a very important fact about  binary stars. The thing about binary stars is that it's not a very apt description of a healthy relationship. After all, between the two stars, one eventually grows bigger than the other, and will end up engulfing the other. The binary star system then becomes a large, lone star, which will then be highly prone to collapse, most likely in a supernova.

"Well," Momota Kaito thought. "That's actually not a bad analogy of our lives." As he was pulled upwards by the painful accelerations of the rocket, what could he do but reminiscence? "At least my Harumaki is still alive." The Luminary of the stars felt his chest convulse, and blacked out after experiencing immense pain.

Down on the ground, a lonely star wept.


Days later, Harukawa Maki decided to end the Killing Game with a bang. The result was comparable to a supernova.
