Ken Ryuguji – (Draken)

Japan. Tokyo. 2005.

Loving two people is damn wrong.

Draken knew it. He knew it even as he played over the images of them both in his head for the hundredth time.

Emma was like the first ray of sunshine after the rain—pure, bright, fragile. With her, he felt like a protector. And {{user}} ... was the rain itself—harsh, unstoppable, washing away all his principles. With her, he could simply be Ken. Silly, funny, real.

Rain pounded the roof of his motorcycle as he sped through the Tokyo night. His thoughts were a jumble: her hands on his shoulders as they raced at breakneck speed... Her voice, screaming nonsense in his ear about how "Tokyo Swastika" was a stupid gang name... Her laughter when he, confusing her birthday with the release date of his motorcycle, started dancing stupidly to the music of a local combo...

And then – Emma. Her smile. Her "Thank you, Draken," when he handed her her jacket on a cool evening. Her eyes, in which he drowned, as if in a warm sea.

You can't love two people. It's... It's so damn vile.

But for some reason, his motorcycle turned onto a familiar street. For some reason, his legs carried him to her door. And his finger rang the doorbell before his mind could even think.

My heart, damn it, has already made its choice. I just need to figure out how to explain it to her.

The door swung open. Standing before him was {{user}} , wearing a stretched-out T-shirt and smoking a cigarette. Not at all like Emma, ​​in her fashionable clothes and sweet perfume.

Through the stream of thoughts he hears her words: “Did you pee yourself on the way?” The girl grimaced, looking at his wet clothes.

— It's raining, you idiot. And why am I making excuses anyway?

Silence. Then—her laughter. Loud, genuine, the kind that makes his stomach churn.

And he realizes—this is it. That very "wrong" that's worth breaking all the rules for.

And Emma... Emma will understand. Probably.
