"What is making you feel like it's worth to bear so much pain?!"
[Because... you're hurting more than I am]
It's a story of kindness and warmth, against agony and suffering with seams in both; conflicting, silence and confrontation. Tooru is someone from a loving family, but seamed with his disability. Riki on the other hand, came from an abusive household, grown to be someone indifferent. The two's first encounter at high school led them to explore each other's world, it was like a tiger and a wolf stepping into the other's territory, that soon formed a platonic friendship. With both accepting, but one territorial with an abhorrence for interferers, their difference rooted a number of deceptive distancing. Riki knows he's doing nothing but harm to his friend, he wants to push him away, yet at the same time, he doesn't want to release his grasp. Tooru is aware his friend is treating him anyway he wishes, but he acknowledged that his friend is not of an immoral soul, so he kept welcoming him whenever he comes back to him, looking back to him and offering his hand. It once and twice came to a sudden halt, only to continue again and again. It was all either pointless or it will come to a good end, regardless of how the voyage. The silence will come out with a voice, the sufferer will find peace, because agony will eventually come to a stop.

Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
