"I once had a dream, a dream where no one had to suffer. . . But then I woke up."
Diake Takanori had little to begin with. Living with a family that was still in high school was difficult, made even worse when they had another daughter, before leaving the two altogether at a young age. With them gone, it was up to him alone to help. But how will he do that?
With the little money they had, they decided to travel around Japan, in search for a new home to live in. A couple took them in and they acquired a job from them in exchange for income and a place to live: taking care of a shrine in the outskirts of the city they had been walking through. They were happy with that, as they had also enrolled to school, but Diake, upon graduating from high school, was having difficulty finding inner peace.
And so, with his sister's consent, he allowed himself to travel around Japan once more, unrestrained by his unnecessary load. And along the way, he played a card game that would change much of his life.
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
