Glass Dove [Slow Updates]

Kohana doesn't have a last name. At least, that's what everyone says. Since she was young, she's lived at the hospital with the staff as her family. She has a nasty combination of diseases known as Hemophilia and Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome.

More than anything (save for Daiki Akiyama, her best friend and brother-figure), Kohana adores music. Some call music "The Universal Language," and Kohana agrees with this verdict wholeheartedly. To be able to invoke emotions and tell a story, sometimes without a single word, is just one of the many wonders of the world in Kohana's eyes.

Kohana has always been fragile physically because of her infirmities, but she's also very emotionally weak. She wears her heart on her sleeve and truly wouldn't hurt a fly. This is a recipe for disaster, especially when her only experience with people her age is with the other children at her hospital, whom are equally liable to break under mental or physical pressure. Throwing herself into public life surrounded with hundreds of others starting her first year in high school just adds to this terrible mix. Kohana's life is a prime example of Murphy's Law: "Everything that can go wrong will go wrong."

Will fragile Kohana find a way to get through high school without shattering, or will this glass dove lay in thousands of pieces on the ground, surrounded by thousands of words unsaid and/or ignored?

This is actually two fanfictions in one, following two different story lines after the first few chapters (GDA and GDB). Both are Kohana×Mori.

2018 Notice: Due to the absolute workload of college, updates will be far and few between. Did not anticipate this when I started the story tbh; spent longer working on it than I meant to and wasn't really planning on college until I was already enrolled.
