Mnemosyne

[Created to be part of the Takari Week 2024 - A writing challenge happening between the 11th of August 2024 and the 17th of August 2024]

A collection of stories that gives us an insight into Takeru and Hikari's relationship over the years.
It is composed of two prologues, one for Takeru and one for Hikari, exposing events before 1999. And a final epilogue, summarizing all the feelings exposed in the previous chapters. In the intermediate chapters, we follow all the challenges that a long-term friendship has to face when it becomes a romantic relationship, and how we form solid and permanent bonds with the ones we love the most.
It's about time. It's about being human. It's about being vulnerable because we fear losing the ones we love. It's about being vulnerable because we fear to lose ourselves. And mostly, it's about love, and all its forms and shapes.
