And the kings light, a cigarette

I just might, give it a good try

Take a chance up on the m...

They surrounded two lanterns that had released been released. As the lanterns floated as swans, they had a story. With...

I grow impatient as my stores begin to dwindle. Where is Haru?

My focus shifts toward my training, my pas...

How could I forget? The moonlit skies, the nights we shared together on the rooftop. Even tonight, the moonlight shone through the big window, casting a soft veil over the bed where I lie alone. I tried to blink, looking at the absence of warmth on your side. Now here I am, standing on the porch that overlooks the lake.
