Lavender | Wakatoshi Ushijima

'Everything seems to wash away with the tide and it's just two naïve kids staring at each other again, making promises to a future that isn't promised. A world they haven't seen, a life they haven't lived. A journey that's uncertain except for these hope-laced promises. Two flickering flames with intertwined fates, giving each other the gaseous strength to burn.'

Hana Takahashi is the one fatefully assigned to help him.

She is just as Wakatoshi Ushijima vividly remembers her to be. A beautiful soul, an intelligent mind. The heir of a prestigious family, destined for success. The excelling student and the poet with a burning passion for words that can light a spark in the dullest of eyes, including his own. But, even the shiniest of stars have secrets.

After long, blurry years apart, their golden invisible strings are intertwined, with lavenders treading along. They could've been there all along, drawing them closer until they can't pull away. It seems the past is too far now. Will they walk down this path together? Or will they choose their own fates this time?
