Everything Hakuji did ended in loss and pain... Until he arrived at the dojo and saw Koyuki. She was so fragile, so delicate, and yet, her eyes held a light that pierced him completely. Hakuji, who had been looked at as a criminal his entire life, for the first time, felt truly seen. Caring for Koyuki became her reason for living. Preparing her medicine, holding her hand when she struggled to get up, carrying her to the bathroom, listening to her apologies, her soft laughter... All of it gave her strength. Every day she spent with her, she found herself longing to be by her side, something she never thought she deserved. He didn't know when he began to love her. Perhaps it was the first smile she gave him, or maybe it was when he realized that with her, he didn't need to be anyone else, he didn't have to prove anything to the world. With her... he was enough. And then that night arrived. Fireworks filled the sky with colors and booms. But Hakuji couldn't take his eyes off Koyuki. She gazed at the fireworks as if they were a miracle, and in that moment he understood: there was nothing more beautiful than seeing her happy. Hakuji smiled, feeling something he didn't know how to express in words.
