All of his life, Kousei Arima was a boy that was just about automatic as you could get when playing the piano. Then, one day, a free-spirited violinist comes into her life......
....but then, Kousei finds out his fate may be in jeopardy. What will become of Kaori? Tsubaki? Watari? And most importantly, Kousei's rivals? Will Kousei be able to express his feelings towards Kaori, and can she save Kousei from his hell before it is too late?
-----
As you can tell, this is an alternate retelling of Your Lie in April. But the fates have been reversed (and before you ask, Kousei is the ill one, not Kaori, who is far from that in this story), which will make for quite a gripping, if not heart-wrenching story, maybe more so than the original.

Please note, I do not write fanfics often, but I feel this is a story the needs to be told. I do hope you enjoy this story, however.

(BTW, the Japanese title substitutes one kanji for another. "Kimi" becomes "Kare".)

Kousei Arima's world has come to a fiery end.
As if losing the beautiful, free-spirited Kaori Miyazono two months ago wasn't enough, a hellfire of nuclear missiles suddenly descended upon his home just as he was about to enjoy another spring. As far as Arima knows, he is the sole survivor of the unexpected apocalypse. Trapped in his fallout shelter by debris, he has no choice except to ration out his meals and wait to die.
Then, suddenly, Kousei is rescued by two unlikely allies: Black Widow, last surviving member of the Avengers, and Arnim Zola, a dismembered consciousness now in an Ultron drone's body. Just when Kousei thinks things couldn't get any weirder, two strange beings emerge from a portal in the sky. One is a sorcerer of unmatched skill; the other is a celestial guardian of ALL universes. And according to them, HE, Kousei...has been chosen.
Kousei is beyond petrified. Why has he of all people been chosen to help foil the plans of a rampaging conqueror? It is on this mission, meeting heroes across the multiverse, that Kousei learns just how much power his music holds. As part of his reward, Kousei is placed into a new universe where he has a chance to rebuild his old life. More importantly, a new chance to reunite with the girl he loved and lost...
